About me

I’d love to tell you all about me, but instead...let’s hear from a few NPC’s that know me the best: NPC TESTAMONIALS: “Greg V? Yeah I know him, he made me up on the spot!”--Steve the Town Guard “Sure! I can tell you about Greg V’s GMing style...he’s attentive and imaginative!”--Steve the traveling merchant. “Excuse me? No , I don’t have a ‘British,’ accent. I’m from Waterdeep.”--Baron Steve of Waterdeep BORING TALK ABOUT ME, WRITTEN BY ME: Played my first game of D&D back in 2017, and was delighted to have found a new hobby and obsession! Over the last 7 years I’ve been lucky enough to run games in person at both conventions and in game stores. The first time I ran a game online was in the early days of the quarantine. I’ve become familiar with Fantasy Grounds, Owlbear Rodeo, and a smattering of Roll20. Gaming online has become a total comfort zone for me, but I am very lucky to be able to continue gaming in-person with a few different friend groups. D&D 5e will probably always be my “baseline,” but I’ve also become interested in several other game systems as well. I ran a few “Learn to Play” slots of Alien RPG by Free League at a local area convention. If you’ve heard of the new MCDM RPG that’s in development, Draw Steel, I’ve play-tested it as a player and am eager to run it as a “Director!” Additionally, I ran Dungeon Crawl Classics for several months in 2024. In terms of the “hobby” of tabletop rpg’s, I do spend quite a bit of my free time listening to podcasts, watching YouTube videos, and reading articles about D&D, and Tabletop gaming in-general. TL;DR Enthusiastic, committed, friendly, and accommodating. Flexible and eager to run the games you want to play.

GM Style

*I’ll meet you more than halfway on most personal tastes. *If you LOVE to talk in character, and enjoy the voice-acting aspects of the game, I’m here for it! *If you prefer not to indulge in the flair for the dramatic, and just want to roll dice and “push lead,” I’m here for it! *If you want serious, immersive story, I’m here for it. *If you want “beer and pretzels” chill vibes and rolling dice, I’m here for it. *If you want all of the above in equal measure........I’m here for it! *Dedicated to Cooperative Story-Creation. *Very familiar with rules, but always willing to be flexible when necessary. *I’ve run Adventurer’s League Content for years, and will be happy to do so! *One-Shots to Full Length Campaigns are available. *Campaign on D&D Beyond is available *I tend to keep it simple with Owlbear Rodeo for map and tokens, and Discord (or Google Meet) for Voice Chat. *I’m happy to go visible using a camera if you/your group prefers that! *Or I can keep my hideous visage hidden. Your choice. *I can also offer Fantasy Grounds as well. **My general rules: Rule 1: Treat others with respect and consideration. Abusive language is prohibited. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and all other types of harassment are prohibited. Rule 2: Explicit depictions of excessive or gratuitous violence are prohibited. Rule 3: Explicit descriptions of sexual intercourse are prohibited. (That level of adult content should be avoided. Let’s keep it “Avengers level PG13” so Captain America gets one use of the “F-Word” per film.)
