About me

I'm an Australian writer and games designer. I've been running games consistently for about 8 years. I like to play science fiction and fantasy games that have a little bit of gritty realness to them. And always a bit of silliness. I love creating worlds for people to play in and sharing the narrative with the party. I am looking to collaboratively build worlds and tell badass stories.

Really enjoyed the casual nature of the game play. Allowed players to be creative in their exploits and gave every player an opportunity to participate.

Stuart is fantastic DM and great for new people just starting out in RPGs. He is brilliant at worldbuilding, and works with his players to provide a rich, engaging experience. Most importantly, playing with Stuart is just fun!

Stewart is an amazing GM, I joined with a seasoned crew with limited experience of my own and he made the whole process of learning to play really fun, enjoyable and supported. Would recommend him for novice and experienced players alike.

Adaptive, considerate... patient. Accepts the normal through wacky choices players can make. Stuart has been one of the best GMs I've had the pleasure of playing with. He is an amazing story teller, extremely creative, engaging on every level, and encourages others to be the same.

Stuart was my first DM, being new to this world and apprehensive about DnD I wasn't totally sold on the whole experience before I'd even started. I found him very patient, willing to assist and help me through the intricacies of learning the format. The immersive roleplaying with voices/deep character narratives isn't my thing and I felt quite supported by Stuart and not pushed into this side of things. He was quite happy to let me just be myself and whack things with swords until they were dead and move on. I would recommend him from the perspective of a beginner as your DM and I have the feeling he'd be equally as good for veterans of the game.
