About me

Greetings and well met, fearless traveler! From the dark caves of the Sword Coast, to the shimmering shores of Otari; from the depths of cyberpunk dystopia, to a Galaxy Far Far Away, I've been the companion of countless adventurers on their journey to greatness! My campaigns continue to thrill players in game stores, online via VTT, and even within the confines of their own living rooms. All walks of life can safely come together at my games and forget the real world for a few hours. TTRPGs are about hanging out and having collaborative fun; that's exactly what you'll find us doing at my table. Come prepared for one of the most dynamic, interactive roleplay experiences you've ever had! You WILL have a large hand at creating the narrative, with freedom to build and play the character you always wished you could! WHY HIRE ME?: Family Discounts!!! - I'm a family man, so I know it can be hard to separate personal time from family time, but with the family discount you no longer have to! When you join a campaign with your kids, seats for 8-15yo cost only $5 USD, and seats for 16-17yo cost only $10 USD. If you join a campaign with your significant other (gf / bf, husband / wife), you receive at 25% discount on their seat. Family discounts persist for the duration of the campaign, so the entire family can roll dice and break some heads, without you breaking bank! ENOURMOUS Library - I'm truly a GAME master, fluent in over a dozen different systems including: DND 5e, Pathfinder 2e, Call of Cthulu, Cyberpunk RED, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Classic Traveller, Fallout the RPG, The Dishonored RPG, The Dresden Files RPG, Ironsworn, and the list just keeps going. Shoot me a message to hire me to run any of the listed games, or to inquire about a game I haven't listed. Full Immersion - My worlds are complete sandboxes that you can live in, potentially for years. There are endless possibilities during a campaign, but even the campaign is just a hook, because once you've beaten it, you may continue questing in that same world, creating new goals, and dealing with the consequences of the previous campaign. The cycle is addictive, and perfect for anyone craving true escapism. Solo and Duo Mode! - Have you ever wanted to TRULY be the main character? To play in a story fully centered on YOU? At MOST tables, your character will be just one of 4-6 other powerful heroes, but in single player or two-player mode, it's only YOU and your choices that decide the outcomes. Become the main character, truly be "The One". Not only will you have my FULL attention as the game master, allowing me to tailor-make your experience, but you also get to play a much more powerful character than typical. If you want to feel as immersed as possible, then hop in solo or with a friend, and see what unfolds! Tucsonan - I live in the Tucson area, and am frequently found at the Isle of Games, where I run live games EVERY MONDAY NIGHT! I'm also available locally to hire for events and conventions! So hit me up, or drop by the Isle of Games any given Monday night, and say hello! Youtuber - Subscribers to my Youtube channel, "Encounter - Mastering Dungeons", receive a 5% discount, so come check it out! I talk TTRPG news, reviews, DM / GM how-tos, and general discussion topics. It's truly a channel for TTRPG fans BY a TTRPG fan, so if you have even a passing interest in this hobby (and I suspect you might!), then you'll find something on the channel that you can enjoy!

GM Style

Here is what you can expect from my games: •ALL 3 Pillars: I don't skimp on ANY element of the roleplay experience—Combat, Social Interaction, or Exploration. Each session is an intentional experience where YOU are in the driver seat; my fully responsive worlds guarantee a compelling story that you'll always remember. •Mind-blowing Combats: Regardless of system or setting, my combats hit HARD. Expect bone-crunching brawls, savage crits, lethal firefights, high-octane chases, near-death (or full-death) experiences / close shaves, FULLY interactable environments (throw a chair!), and story-defining boss encounters with deeply cinematic set pieces. (Disclaimer: Questing is dangerous! Aside from 'Downtime', death is literally ALWAYS on the table) •Co-op: Perhaps the MOST important thing to know about my games is that you have a LOT of agency. I'm the GM, yes, but my style is very collaborative. For my part, I work with you to fulfill your dream character, providing all the challenge that should reasonably be present while questing, but WITHOUT stifling your character. On the player side, all of the implemented mechanics / rules incentivize teamwork / party play. I want you to add your own chapter to the epic saga we weave. Your voice matters, your ideas are valued, and it's YOUR actions that will shape the unfolding legend. •Sandboxing and Lifestyle: The worlds we inhabit are ONLY bound by the horizons of our imagination. Each of my settings is its own open-world sandbox (akin to Grand Theft Auto or Red Dead Redemption) with dozens of quests, NPCs, locations, and each with a fully implemented "Lifestyle" system. "Lifestyle" allows you to literally LIVE in the world (buy a car / horse, rent an apartment, get a job, go to university, get a girl/boyfriend, go see a show, hit the casino, visit the gun range, get a pet, get a haircut, buy a new wardrobe, go clubbing, hit up the dojo, visit a fine restaurant, take a spa day, etc, etc). Not only can any Lifestyle activities be done solo, but the whole party can roleplay an activity and receive mechanical buffs / debuffs depending on the outcome! The dungeons you find will be jam packed with content, but in my sandboxes, there's just as much fun to be had OUTSIDE of the dungeon. I also tailor content to better fit each table, so while you may be familiar with the Core Rules of a system (ie DnD 5e), expect to encounter scenarios that challenge normal conventions, and invite you to think—and play—outside the box! Join me and forge a true epic worthy of recounting through the ages!
