About me
I have been Gamemastering tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) for 24 years. This is not my hobby: This is my passion. I spend more time on content creation and honing my craft than on any other single thing in my life. I also have a background in theater and I worked as a mentalist (basically, a "mind reading magician") throughout college and grad school. I love performing and consider GMing to be a performance art. Each session is a show for you, about you, and involving you as players. My job is to keep you entertained and engaged.
GM Style
I LOVE roleplaying games and believe that a story comes to life through the alchemy of GM storytelling and player choice. I foster that alchemy by crafting plots with themes that take into account Player Character goals, creating Non-Player Characters with realistic personalities, and rewarding players who make interesting choices that are true to the characters they're playing. The result is a roleplaying experience that feels like it's about your character and an emotionally rewarding story where your player actions matter. I excel at creating the sense of the macabre that is required for gripping supernatural horror games as well as maintaining the suspense and intrigue necessary for mysteries. As my player reviews can attest to, my strengths are: - making sure all players feel like they belong - encouraging creative player choices - creating immersive stories - developing lore-rich worlds for those stories and characters to inhabit - I also make props, do voices, and use custom-curated soundscapes for full immersion

Voices
Brandon has been a great DM for playing a follow up campaign to Curse of Strahd. He does a great job with world building, and creating a world that is free to explore with lots of options for you. The story has been great so far, with a lot of twists and different things to expect. He does a great job making combat meaningful and making sure there are a number of potential solutions to any problems presented. It has been great to play a game with a lot of freedom for player choices instead of a typical railroaded campaign.
