About me

Hello all! I’m Kevin and I’ve been playing since way back in 2nd edition. I became a default DM about fifteen years ago, and have been running both homebrew and official products ever since. I have a background teaching archaeology/history and am prior military, which I use to bring a level of immersion to my games that players seem to enjoy. I’m happy to run in-person, remote, or hybrid games! If a group desires a specific module I’m happy to purchase and run it if I don’t already have it.

GM Style

My GM style focuses heavily on the enjoyment of the group, so I tend to run the game fluidly based on who I am playing with. I excel at creating memorable combat and dungeons, and particularly enjoy weaving character backgrounds into the story. I like to keep things upbeat and encourage joking around the table, but will redirect the group when necessary. I lean towards a rule-of-cool and Rules-as-Intended approach, but if we get too bogged down I’ll make a call and we can revisit during a break if necessary. I think pre-game socializing is helpful, and find that even groups familiar with one another immerse more deeply when they’ve had a bit of time to chat before the game. This is particularly important for session 0.
