About me
An experienced GM who loves shared story telling roleplaying games where the players create the story along with the GM and I just guide us all to the best story experience possible. I've been a GM and Player for over 30 years, played many systems across all genres but have now settled on Dungeons and Dragons 5E for Fantasy and Call of Cthulhu for Horror. I run everything from one shots to introduce players to a system to full blown campaigns taking players from meeting each other to battling world-ending events. Because I do a lot of introduction games I ensure that every player feels included, is involved in the game and progresses both their characters and themselves as a player.
GM Style
Shared story telling is my love, there will be combat, puzzles and challenges but we tell the story together.

Paul was super welcoming and did a wonderful job making everyone feel comfortable. He made sure everyone was able to access and use D&D Beyond's tools and that everyone had a chance to shine in both roleplay and combat. Whenever two or more people started to talk at once, he made sure they all got the chance to speak. He also gave very clear explanations of the rules and how they've changed in the new 2024 ruleset.

I haven't played regularly in decades and needed a serious rules/process update. Paul did great help us not only execute the session, but explained how and why things were happening. I really appreciate it!
