About me

I have over 20 years experience as a game master, with a decade of playing online through mostly Roll20 but with some experience with other formats. I pride myself on providing an expert storytelling experience focused on making your characters the stars of the show rather than the mechanics of the game or anything I had planned in the story. My primary experience is with Dungeons and Dragons (most editions, but 5e primarily), but I am also experienced with Cypher System games, Monster of the Week, Through the Breach, and am willing (with some time) to learn whatever other systems may interest you. My specialty tends to focus on taking published modules and elevating them from what is written on the page to create a unique, exciting, often humorous, and hopefully memorable gaming experience.

GM Style

My passion is to create a memorable story for my players every time we sit down together at the (virtual) table. I combine an understanding of character for NPCs, designing combat encounters to be memorable rather than a slog, integrating music and sound effects, doing some voices, and injecting humor to create an overall memorable gaming experience that will hopefully leave you clamoring for more. One of my big focus areas is player agency. If your characters make a choice, that choice should matter and have effects on the world, whether positive or negative. This is YOUR game. You create the story.
