GM Style

At the forefront of my games is YOU! I adapt to the tastes of the group, ensuring a fun and exciting experience! I am a believer that the rules provide a solid foundation for fair play, but I am prone to warping them in situations to give way for memorable moments that highlight characters. As an actor by trade, I am an avid roleplayer and strong with characterisation. I have a Mercer-esque approach to DMing, excelling in roleplay and immersion. All my NPCs and Monsters are fully-voiced and vocalised, from the zombie gargles to the High-Elf Wizard. I love to immerse through sound, combining my real life voice with the use of Syrinscape to bring a mix of sounds to the game. You can expect to be part of excellent improvisation and a chance to explore your character through roleplay you might not find elsewhere. I take this mentality into combat with dynamic enemies and enviroments that work to create unique expereinces, encouraging creativity. I try to keep combat to being meaningful to the game, but sometimes, it's good to allow a chance to try out new abilities or let off steam. Every combat, however, has an optional alternative, and the fallout of a fight is never just an enemy that despawns. These random encounters more often than not, have a chance to expand into story elements we create together. Most of all, I am on YOUR side. I want to see your characters be the centre of an amazing story, no matter how large or small it may be. I'm never out to kill you, simply to challenge you along the way. My philosophy is that TTRPGs are wholly a cooperative story telling experience. These are all things I go over in mandatory Session 0s, whereby we can talk extensively about the game and answer any questions in advance. The Key to a successful game is open communication, something I feel very strongly about in my games. Each session ends with a chance to discuss the contents of the session. Whether you're a new player or someone with a backlog of experience, you'll feel comfortable at my table, and given the chance to play in a way that otherwise might be harder to find.
