About me
Hi! My name is Allen and I am a veteran gamer with 18 years of experience running games in a variety of different systems old and new. I love exploring new game systems and seeing how different designers handle different mechanics. I am comfortable running pre-written content from modules, adventures, and living campaign systems as well as custom content specifically for your game. I love to learn new systems, so if you are interested in playing a game that is not on my list of game systems, please reach out and let me know. All of my games are 2SLGTBQIA+ friendly and everyone is welcome at my table as long as they can be respectful to me and their fellow players.
GM Style
I love to mix and match game mechanics from various systems where appropriate to create interesting new experiences for players. I also enjoy getting into character for NPCs and encourage my players to do the same. Expect about equal parts roleplay, puzzles and exploration, and combat (balance of these may vary depending on the system). Above all, I love to share new systems to players that haven't experienced them before, be they obscure games from the past or indie games hot off the press.

Had a great time in Character creation, Allen was patient with us new players and it was comforting to have his guidance during this session.
SnackDaddy Games
He really knows the rules and has been doing this for years, so his encounters and dungeons and really well thought out and well designed.
Alec
He has a great grasp on dynamic scenes and always makes your character feel like they're included and that your time in the game and your presence is worth it.
Ian
Allen is a great DM, very experienced and knowledgeable. He puts a lot of effort in to story building and creating the environment for players, and works with players on creating the character they want.
Temira
Allen will always put his 1000% into his games. He has made programs to help with autogenerating characters. He knows a wide variety of rpgs and works hard to create an immersive world. (he has literally made entire universes before). If you are looking for someone who is passionate about story telling and someone who loves to introduce new systems to both experienced and new players- Allen will be a great GM for your games. :)
Matias Zen
The information and story the he provides is detailed and capable of adapting to the usual player antics of wandering from the plot. It is still a creative environment and he is ready to fill anyone in on any details they need to know, be it a new player or veteran.
