About me

Let's begin with the glaring reality that I have a lot less experience than most, if not all, of the wonderful GMs on this platform. However, that's exactly why I'm here. I want to be a better GM and I believe that what I lack in experience, I make up for in enthusiasm and connection with my players. In the past few years, I have GM'd for beginners and veterans alike and all have given me positive feedback on my ability to make a game fun. Now let's go back to the early 2000's, when my two older brothers and myself were crowded into their bedroom. My oldest brother brought out a copy of Hunter: The Reckoning and we started hunting vampires and other creatures of the night. In our first encounter with some low level blood suckers, I aimed my pistol, fired, and rolled low on the d20. The pistol jammed and I was hooked. I spent many of the following years exploring other aspects of fantasy and rpg's: novels, video games, etc. It wasn't until a few years ago that I finally came to terms with the reality that I have to be the GM if I really want to play ttprgs regularly. It was a daunting task at first, but I quickly fell in love with the gig and now I yearn to use my GM skills to introduce more and more people to this wonderful hobby. So, if you're new and interested in a fun time learning the games, I just might be the GM for you. If you're a veteran and you just want to have a good time, I think I got you too. Can't wait to see you at the table!

GM Style

I love roleplay. I love improvising with my players' choices. I practice the Rule of Cool. Players need to try really hard to experience PC death.

Loupy is a great guy! He is engaging, fun, and does a great job of pulling the group into the action of an adventure.

A very well prepared and well spoken DM with good humor and sense of character. He leaves room for different types/styles of play Also a Kinda "keep it simple" DM. Not too much fuss about the details, and quite effective. Good with accents I enjoyed Hes game very much.

Played Rime of the Frostmaiden with Lou, and it was awesome. We had quite difficult party to deal with: players from all over the place, from US, EU and all the way to Ukraine; two first-timers, me, relatively new to the hobby and two monsters with 25 and ~30 years of D&D experience respectively... and Loupy nailed it. He is very supportive with his players, in 3 sessions newcomers felt like they were doing it whole life; experienced guys commented him on how he handled tricky situations at the table; and he is very procative with creative players (the way he interweaved character backstories in the module is just amaizing). For the games Lou always had vast prep ready: maps (animated!), music, reference pictures, pre-made notes... its always was there. And with all of that, whenever we were going completely out of expected direction - improvization was near-instant. A couple of seconds of DM confusion and boom, we had a map outlined by hand, location description being created on-flight and even sound effects are coming from his mike. Had to shorten my spare time due to irl stuff, but I'm looking forward to get a spot in his group again. And if not - I have a strong feeling that my next DM would have tough time impressing me =)
