About me

Hi there, My journey with role‐playing games began – like so many – with D&D. I was 10 at the time, and my imagination was firing on all cylinders. I kept playing and GMing through my teenage years and, along the way, got into other role‐playing games. Fast forward to the winter of 2019–2020: my wonderful but spirited daughter was busy with her A-levels (UK exams), which freed up some time for Dad. That’s when I started running D&D games online, initially for friends who wanted to keep playing. One game quickly grew into several, and before I knew it, the ball was rolling. Now, I run a variety of systems: D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Blades in the Dark, and a few others! Throughout it all, I’ve made amazing friends and shared countless laughs and adventures. Here, you’ll find that Dyslexia rules (KO – you’ll see!) and a dry sense of humour reigns supreme. So, pull up a chair and let’s get you on an unforgettable journey!

GM Style

What makes a game truly unforgettable? For me, it’s when players’ ideas spark those fun, unexpected moments that make everyone laugh, cheer, and delve deeper into the story. It’s about crafting a unique and flavourful tale together, where each character’s flair adds to the mix. No matter how much trouble you get into, you’ll work as a team to get out – ideally with some loot in hand! When it comes to rules, I lean towards “Rules as Intended” with a side of “Rules as Fun”. I like you to win, but there are no vol-au-vents on silver platters here – you’ll have to work for it. The players in the game are enjoying the 2024 D&D rules. Even so, there’s always room for your clever plans and big ideas. If it’s plausible, I’ll encourage you to give it a shot. Everyone is welcome at this table, regardless of your ethnicity, background, or identity. (Fun fact: my daughter is part of the LGBT+ community!) All I ask is that we treat one another with mutual respect, so we can focus on having an amazing time. So bring your creativity to the table and embrace your dream character – whether that’s a Fairy Barbarian, a Firbolg Monk, or an Orc Wizard. Let’s make some magic happen!
