About me

My two passions in life are stories and games, so it's no wonder roleplaying games have dominated my life. I've been a GM almost as long as I've been a player and a freelance writer for Pathfinder only a little less than that, and I'm now turning that experience towards the kind of work I've always dreamed of. In addition to posted games I'm also available for hire for PFS and other one-shots.

GM Style

In my games you can expect creative fights, heavy RP, interesting NPCs and often terrible but usually charming voicework. Note that while I mainly run pre-written adventures, I use them as a base to jump off of, modifying a lot with a particular eye for weaving in PC storylines.

I have never met someone who didn’t work full-time for Paizo with more/better knowledge of the Pathfinder rules and setting.

If I could add more tags, I'd absolutely add Good for beginners as well. They were one of the first GMs I ever had, starting in Pathfinder 1e, and helped me love tabletop gaming. Most recently we played the entire Age of Ashes PF2e campaign, and they did incredibly in bringing our characters in personally to the story and having the world react to the choices we made, helping the whole group fall in love with the NPCs and characters around us too. Also they have an encyclopedic knowledge of the rules and game mechanics.

Let me just say, Ferret is an amazing GM that really integrates you into the story, homebrew or no. They're super nice and makes everything seem really cool. They know the rules and can spin a yarn with the best of them

Always runs a great game, and can always find a way to tie the PCs into the story. Not afraid to roll with some really off-the-wall PC concepts, depending on circumstances is even willing to homebrew rules to accommodate them, and still manages to balance it out so everyone gets their time in the spotlight.
