About me
Hello friends and fellow enthusiasts! My name is Mike and I'm a well seasoned runner of games ranging from Pathfinder to to the ever popular 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons! I started very young, rand have run many home games in the 3rd edition, 3.5 edition but most prominently Pathfinder 2nd edition as well. My games tend to be made from scratch and of my own unique design, but run with both new and old players in mind. I've also got a few official modules under my belt so keep an eye out for those when they're available! I've gotten access to a wide variety of books, but tend to run campaigns of Wild Beyond the Witchlight, Curse of Strahd and maybe even Descent into Avernus someday. If you have anything else you want me to run I'm happy to learn more and add to the repertoire. Be neighborly and contact me if you've got a custom scenario or just say hi, I don't bite!
GM Style
My style is riddled with Dungeons, monsters and traps (the essential 3!). I'm constantly exploring new adventure types such as modules I'm new to, flexible to suggestions in and out of game about scheduling or otherwise, and knowledgeable enough about rules to improvise unfathomable scenarios. No I don't know the average fly speed of an unladen swallow but I can estimate it in game as needed! When it comes to running modules I try to stick pretty close to the book while maintaining a cinemagraphic overtone; The players may not be the first or even only heroes, but they are the most well known and deserved of respect by key NPC's. In general I try to keep TTRPG's as quick pace and immersive as possible ranging from heavy Roleplay to in depth consequences for action both in and out of game. I dislike player death and always have some sort of resurrection clause in play (though it may come with side effects!)

Creativity
Teacher
Whimsical and wild. Mike isn't the most by the rules DM, and he lets players come up with creative ways around problems. He is okay with the game world being experienced in the way that the players want to; no railroading. He is also very passionate about the game and loves playing, so it feels like the DM actually cares.
