About me

My favorite aspect of TTRPGs is setting up a world with ideas, then letting the players loose into it to see what happens. I love to use 5e as a baseline, then apply custom themes to them. I have run many different campaigns, from a Disney-themed campaign to a Star Wars-themed one, from a Superhero theme to a holiday theme, and a modern-day high school theme to a standard fantasy theme. If you want examples of my GM style, check out the podcast Approximate Heroes for more!

GM Style

I love developing characters over time and working with the players to come up with interesting and meaningful growth for their characters to experience. I am working on my voice acting, so my NPCs usually have a different voice or accent. I try my best to "Yes, and" my way through player choices, but also want to make sure that every single player is comfortable and on board with what happens at the table. I am a believer in setting boundaries in Session Zero about what everyone is ok with, and am always open to hearing how we can redirect things if they get a little unsafe-y.

Andrew introduced me to DnD and within the first 5 mins of the first session I was hooked. His creativity in world building and puzzles is truly amazing! My weeks got longer because I could not wait for the next session. My favorite interaction with him was when I lost interest in my character and talked to him about killing him off. He was so understanding and actually shifted the story to incorporate it in. The results were truly amazing and actually had the whole party in tears. I highly recommend him!

Something that I really loved in Andrew's campaign was that at the beginning he sat down with me and helped me come up with a goal and a weakness for my character. He then carefully and consciously incorporated that into the whole storyline, which made the whole experience extra personal and meaningful with a satisfying conclusion. Andrew is also awesome at roleplay and many awesome voices/personalities. It's not hard to feel immersed in his sessions.
