About me

I'm a movie and comic lover who loves to play games of all sorts, so naturally I got hooked on table top role playing. I love world building and narrating my own cinematic moments for my players more than being bound by the rules of the game or physics! The thing that I feel is my greatest strength when it comes to being the Dungeon Master is that I come up with these grand worlds and amazing lore to the way they work. The issue is that they ultimately feel empty of a true story until I have players sit down and explore my world that I put them in. It really completes me and my need to show off my creations, especially when my players can add more to the world itself because of their crazy ideas!

GM Style

I play for fun and not for the rules, I like keeping a momentum in epic battles with flashy cinematic descriptions. If you picture the game as if it were a movie then I'm your director and the comedic cutaway team with a trillion dollar production budget quality. "The Good Kinda Crazy" and a big preparer who always has something up his sleeve for players depending on what they're looking for. Outside of the session I like to promote a healthy community with my players if they like or just to have everyone enjoy the game safely.

Great DM, one of the best I have played with in a while. Allows for a lot of freedom and "the rule of cool".

Very fun experience, especially as a beginner! Was very helpful and explained things quite well, and is very fun to have around!

The game (which is ongoing) is a wonderful take on the Destiny 2 Red War, with some new twists and turns along the way. He allowed me to make a fair homebrew class, and helped me integrate it into the story. He has ways to get feats from reading books, and generally allows us to do crazy things that push the plot forward. He is amazing and I couldn't ask for a better DM.

I love so far how much effort he has put in not only the setting, but I to us as players as well.
