About me
You know, I absolutely love Dungeons and Dragons and I absolutely love playing with new people. Everyone has their own playing style and watching the combination of different styles coming together is an absolute treat. I am currently running 2 longform campaigns for friends (Mythic Odyssey of Theros and a One Shot mash up Homebrew campaign) and I have run a couple others in the past. I have spent countless hours creating worlds and prepping for magical and mythological adventures of all kinds. I want to create an environment that is safe, exciting, and full of mystery where people can create beautiful and hilarious moments that they will remember forever. I stick to the base 5e rules for the most part, but if I have to choose between sticking to the rules and helping a player accomplish something fun and sometimes ridiculous, I'm here to help. I usually run Fantasy or Mythology based games, but I am a fast learner so if you are interested in trying something a little different, I have no problem figuring it out. Hit me up for questions and tell me what you're looking for. Let's make some magic!
GM Style
I love to come at each game with a sense of mystery and whimsy. I absolutely adore when players role play with me as well because I have many voices and personalities to meet them with and I have even created characters on the fly in the past with their own voice and personalities. I am also a fan of big combat encounters, but I am not against out of the box/creative solutions. I love creativity in my games and if you can bring a character you love, I will match a story to fit. Each player in my mind deserves a moment in the sun. That being said I will try my hardest to challenge you if I can, whether it be small combat encounters, traps, tricks, or even full scale sieges.

This GM goes out of their way to make the game exciting and fun for the players. In the current session I have with them, they have been consistently trying to find new ways to make the board as lifelike as possible, and their storytelling abilities aid in that pursuit beautifully as well. They have a wonderful ability to “yes, and” in most situations, and have seemed to find a lot of joy in helping players build rich backstories for their characters. I genuinely look forward to games with this GM. They are patient, creative, funny, and a joy to play with. (:
Alex is a very thorough and creative GM! From personal homebrew sessions to adding his own spin on ready made games, he really brings out the best in his players and the sessions. His unique brand of story telling along with an impressive repertoire of hilarious voices and accents make him one of the best GMs I've ever played with. 10/10!
