About me

Hi there! My name is Michael, but you can call me Fisher or Fish. I am new to startplaying.games but me and ttrpgs go way back. I have about 15 years of DM'ing experience, starting with DND 3.5 and pathfinder. From there I have branched out into a number of systems and games, and I try to make every game an enjoyable experience for myself and my players. I like make rich worlds where players can really test their roleplaying skills, enjoy the spotlight, and have a great time. I hope you consider my games and come check them out!

GM Style

I love telling a good story. Whether it is DnD, Monsterhearts, or Mothership, I love building suspence and giving my players an interesting and detailed world to explore. I am no slouch in actual plays over voice, but I believe I can really flex my skills in Play by Posts and other written formats.

Fisher has put an amazing amount of work in to creating his world, its lore, and its features while still leaving where you go and how you explore it up to the adventurers.

I just had my first session 0 with him and he explained the rules of his game very well even made a small note section to help us player keep up with them. He also made sure everyone was comfortable with all rules before we moved on. And help us all with character creation and was very patient. He even made small vignettes for are characters. I really looking forward to playing a amazing game with him.

Fisher is an amazing story teller who builds incredible worlds and allows the players to interact with it as they wish. He's very adaptable and more than willing to work with you to create characters that get you emotionally invested. I came to the table with a very bare-bones character concept of a girl with no recollection of her past and Fisher brought her to life with ease in a way that was riveting to play and kept me coming back every week, as well as thinking about it daily. Fisher's pacing is perfect. He knows how to give you just enough information to keep you hooked, but not too much to where it feels too easy or short-lived. As a GM, Fisher wants nothing more than for his players to have fun and enjoy their time in his games. He is constantly trying to find ways to increase immersion and improve his GMing. He's always trying new things and taking suggestions, and it's a breath of fresh air. I cannot recommend Fisher enough.

Fish is excellent at creating homebrew settings and stories. He is patient with his players, knows the rules, and great at encouraging player creativity and running a game that is fun for each player. I've never not enjoyed playing in a game that he's DMed.

GM is patient with those unfamiliar with a game's system/setting, willing to walk them through things. Tremendous amount of out-of-session prep and time dedicated to the game is obvious, allowing for lots of depth of interaction. Would highly recommend.
