About me

Hi! I'm a long-time DM/GM/Storyteller and Player of TTRPGs in person and online. I got exposed to dice at a young age and really traded my sanity for worldbuilding in high school, more than a decade ago. But what got me to actually sit down and be a dungeon master and take it seriously was being hosted in person by a bunch of veterans who just transitioned to 5e and had room for a Cleric. The campaign was short-lived, the group eventually splintered and transformed and now we game online together. Since being taken in and embraced, being given the opportunity to fail and to succeed and to have fun all the while, I've wanted to share that feeling with others and to inspire others to take up the reins and tell the stories that they want to tell!

GM Style

I like to tailor my games to the preferences of my players when I can, but when I'm running as if I'm at a table full of me's, I push roleplay over roll-play. I love adding voices to characters, adding vibrancy to NPCs and PCs alike, though I never require it of my players. I construct interesting, challenging encounters that play to the strengths and weaknesses at the table and encourage teamwork and tactics. I do my best to build a living world where, should one be so inclined, they can dive into any aspect they desire.
