About me
<-- Runs custom Birthday One Shots Gamer, Dad, Forever DM, getting good at voices (according to my very generous players), love storytelling, and the tactical elements of the game! I love everything from serious and dark, to goofy munchkin nonsense! Oh, and there will probably be a higher than usual focus on food in my games. I'm a chef and can't help it. My goal is to deliver an experience you're happy to be a part of, let me know how I can make that happen. Rule #1 Be Kind - we're all here to have fun, playing a game, and telling stories together.
GM Style
Hi! I'm a pretty versatile storyteller, I like to fine tune my games to my groups, sometimes that means a lot of RP and a ton of my very best voice work (I do alright), sometimes that means lots of heavy combat. I plan to work out what kind of game each game I run will be during Session 0, and it'll be what the individual group is excited to play.

Inclusive
I’ve had the pleasure of playing under this GM, and I can confidently say he deserves a full 5 stars. He keeps the game flowing smoothly while making sure every player has a moment to shine. The pacing is spot on—never dragging, always engaging—and there's a great balance of action, roleplay, and creative twists. One of my favorite parts is the character voices and roleplaying. It really brings the world to life and makes every NPC feel memorable. The GM creates a space where everyone feels included and excited to participate. If you're looking for a fun, thoughtful, and energetic storyteller, this GM delivers every time.
Charlie Bastian is so much fun to game with. The quest is told in a way that I am immediately immersed in the story. The details, the chat, the thrill of adventure, all come together to create a fantastic campaign. His use of the maps and "locals" during the adventure help to make the challenge and therefore the thrill, one that I am always ready to come back when the evening has ended.
