About me

Hi there! I'm a friendly forever GM and official Kobold enthusiast! At the moment, I'm primarily running Pathfinder 2e and would love to teach you the game. I am a firm believer in the Rule of Cool, the creativity of players, and the power of teamwork and imagination! I run a very inclusive table with a focus on comfort, kindness, and fun. While still keeping the tension of a dramatic game! I've been a GM for just over 10 years. Most of my past experience was in D&D 5e, with additional experience running Dread, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire the Masquerade, and Avatar Legends. With a hunger to always learn new systems! My most recent addiction: Pathfinder 2e! I have a focus on my players and their characters, roleplay, and engaging combat. Expect fun and unique NPCs, challenging and rewarding combat, robust and interconnected storylines, and a passion and dedication to you as a player!

GM Style

I host an inclusive table that is pro-LGBTQ+! I tolerate absolutely ZERO bigotry, transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, or hatred of any kind directed at a group of people. This is non-negotiable. If anyone has an issue at the table or ever feels uncomfortable, please talk to me about it so I can deal with it. I always put my players first. We are telling your stories together, it's my job to support those stories and help you each tell them in meaningful ways. I can cater to most playstyles too! More or less combat, more or less roleplay, etc. But personally, narrative is king! While I love running intense and exciting yet highly rewarding combats, my heart lies in interesting and engaging NPCs and plotlines. With all of this wrapped in a story that puts you and your party on center stage! I focus on intrigue and character depth for both NPCs and Player Characters. It's my job to make the world feel real, lived in, alive and active. And to ensure you care about it just as much as you care about your characters. I run games through a Discord Server you will be invited to prior to Session Zero. Just a decent microphone and internet connection is all you physically need to play! Excitement and motivation is always a plus too! - Combat: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Social: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Exploration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Homebrew: ⭐⭐⭐ - Humor: ⭐⭐⭐ - Puzzles: ⭐⭐⭐

Great GM, willing to work with the players to ensure everyone is having fun but also willing to lay down the law when needed.

GGG is such an amazing GM. Been playing for about a year now. Hes so accommodating and loves to have fun. He loves the game and loves his players having fun. Great at role play and very knowledgeable, if he doesn't know makes a call on the fly and adjusts as need be. I hope to play with GGG for many more years. Great guy, great GM. Shame I can only select 3 tags, GGG honestly foots the bill for every single tag.

Justin is a GM who is the master of making player characters flow into the worlds he creates. He will find a way to make your character cohesively fit into the world he's already crafted, to the point where it felt like your character was meant to be there. On paper that sounds like par for the course, but it is a skill that is vastly important for a good GM, and having every story be a "fish out of water" narrative can create a feeling of you being on a tour rather than being a pioneer. If you're looking for a GM who can make you feel like you're a part of a larger narrative, Justin is the right one for you.

When we played together he showed that he was willing to listen to my feedback and wanted to continually incorperate what i wanted to do within the game. he always made me feel special and that my participation mattered, thats all i could ask for from such a brilliant game master.
