About GM Kade
Hi, I'm Kade — a nerd, father, husband, and most relevant for a StartPlaying profile... a professional game master! I specialise in cinematic, character-driven, narrative-focused tabletop RPGs, running both beginner-friendly official modules and epic homebrew campaigns. I'm based in the UK and mostly available 8–11pm UK time, which is 3pm Eastern time for those on the other side of the pond.

When I'm not running games I'm...
Usually spending time with my wife and kids, who are three and five and literally the most amazing people I've ever met.
How GM Kade runs games
My campaigns revolve around the player characters and feed off the choices they make. I lean into roleplay and like to make combat and exploration feel meaningful and cinematic. Sessions tend to be slow-paced, with plenty of room to explore/roleplay. I focus my preparation on what I feel players will enjoy most, fantastic locations to explore, meaningful NPCs to mingle with, and an epic story unfolding in the background. I try to add voice and personality to my NPCs who each have wants and needs.

GM Kade's ideal table
My ideal table likes to roleplay and isn't afraid to look a bit silly in the process. If you're imaginative and like telling stories, my table's the place for you.
