About Tom
In the rainy climate in England, I've been playing TTRPGs on and off for the around ten years now. I been GMing consistently for around five years due to being the person who likes to introduce my friends to new experiences. I have run multiple systems from D&D, CoC, Delta Green and more. I love games with heavy atmosphere. All my sessions are safe spaces for LGBTQ+, BIPOC and Neurodivergent players.

I started running games because...
During my college days my friend group wanted to try D&D. I stepped up to create a short one shot it picked up the pace and became a year long campaign. I started running more systems I was interested in. I've been a forever GM since.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Energetic, Unconventional, Spontaneous
When I'm not running games I'm...
Grinding levels with my fiancé on FFXIV, creating new maps and writing quests.
How Tom runs games
I absolutely love working with players to bring depth to their characters. What makes them motivated in their worst adventuring moments? What part of your backstory can be brought up to make a shining moment of roleplay for all the table to enjoy? How was the world around you affected by the destruction of that town infested with goblins? Players will find themselves satisfied with knowing that in our game world they've had an affect on the world around them.

I deal with rules issues by...
checking over quick rule sheets I have created. If it takes longer than a minute to find the rule, we will continue the session as how they were originally perceived to be. After the session the rules can be looked up and implemented correctly next time.
I prep by
triple checking everything, the maps, the character sheets, the campaign notes. If something is missing from official material that could lead to a better game I will try to add this whenever possible.
When it comes to voices
I avoid accents, I fully roleplay my characters with their own quirks, pauses and mannerisms.
Tom's ideal table
A fully welcoming inclusive table for imaginative players, even if it's your first time, if you want to step out of the real world and into a fantasy with others you'll be perfect for the table. Players are not expected to know every inch of a sourcebook or player guide to play here, as long as they can put themselves in their characters shoes, I will always assist if needed. We're all here to tell a story and have fun whilst doing so.

I love it when a player
Comes with a fantastic solution to a problem that no one else apart from them could've thought of. These moments are what GMing is all about and will leave me smiling from ear to ear.
I think min/maxing...
Has it's own place in the TTRPG hobby, great for dungeon crawling and being the best of the best. It does not appeal to me for story driven narratives.
My table is not the place for...
Hatred, racism, bigotry of any kind. We are all here to play a game and if you cannot accept another player for who they are then they are not welcome at the table.
