About me

"With decades of experience in storytelling, world-building, and immersive gameplay, I bring a cinematic, narrative-driven approach to my games. My journey began in the 1980s with 1st Edition Dungeons & Dragons, but my passion for deep, intricate storytelling led me beyond traditional fantasy into the realms of horror, political intrigue, and immersive roleplay. As a veteran LARP coordinator, player, and developer, I have designed large-scale interactive narratives, including a World of Darkness LARP campaign that grew to over 300 players. My background as a Master of Arts in History, Religions, and Philosophy allows me to craft rich, layered worlds filled with mysticism, power struggles, and paradigm-shifting conflicts. I specialize in Vampire: The Masquerade, Mage: The Ascension, and the broader World of Darkness, running games that blend deep roleplay, strategic decision-making, and immersive, cinematic storytelling. In my games, every choice has weight, alliances shift like shadows, and the truth is never as simple as it seems. 🔹 Over 30 years of storytelling experience 🔹 Expert in World of Darkness, horror, and political intrigue 🔹 Immersive roleplay with deep character integration & dynamic NPCs 🔹 Cinematic visuals, soundscapes, and world-reactive storytelling ✨ Step into a world where the Masquerade is fragile, where mages rewrite reality, and where the eternal struggle between power and morality unfolds in the darkest corners of history. Join me for a game where your choices shape the world, and the world pushes back."

GM Style

"I strive to create a living, breathing world where players can become completely immersed in the experience. Using voice acting, Syrinscape, Foundry VTT, and vivid, sensory-rich descriptions, I bring every scene to life—where you can see the flickering candlelight, hear the distant whispers in the dark, and feel the weight of every decision. Your actions will have lasting consequences, shaping the world in ways both grand and subtle. Choices are not just mechanical; they affect the story, NPCs, and the power structures around you—for better or worse. Backstory and character development are at the heart of my games. I craft stories that evolve alongside the characters, where personal ambitions, alliances, and rivalries drive the narrative forward. No two campaigns are ever the same—because every group creates their own legend. 🔹 Cinematic storytelling with dynamic world-building 🔹 Fully immersive experience with voice acting & sound design 🔹 Deep roleplay, impactful choices, and evolving narratives 🔹 Foundry VTT-enhanced gameplay with custom visuals & mechanics ✨ Step into a world where your story matters, where every decision shapes the future, and where the lines between reality and legend blur. Dare to play?"
