About me
Since first stepping into the world of Pathfinder 2e in 2019, GM Mike has been on an incredible journey of discovery and growth. His initial experience as a player provided him with valuable insights into what makes a game truly engaging and memorable. In one year as a Game Master of PF2e, he has honed his skills and evolved into a solid storyteller and facilitator. GM Mike believes that tabletop role-playing games are a collaborative experience. He fosters an inclusive and welcoming environment where everyone's voice is heard and respected. No matter your level of experience, he'll guide you through character creation, rule explanations, and strategic choices, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable gaming experience for all. As a true professional, GM Mike values your time and investment in the game. He is committed to punctuality, clear communication, and adaptability. Whether you're playing in-person or online, you can trust GM Mike to provide a smooth and enjoyable gaming session to the best of his ability every time. Personal notes: I am Canadian, 50 years old male, work full time, married and have two children. I love to play PF2e as both a player and GM. It's a fantastic hobby. I am patient and enjoy helping beginners too. I do enjoy some variant rules in the game and have a few house rules. For the most part rules as written will be followed. I take a collaborative approach to my games. I want all to have fun and enjoy it.
GM Style
The 50-50 balance of combat and role-play in Mike's campaigns ensures that every player's preferences are met. Whether you're a tactical genius who loves devising battle strategies or a role-playing enthusiast who enjoys deep character development, Mike's gaming experience caters to everyone, fostering an inclusive and exciting atmosphere for all. Based on party dynamics, I will adjust things such as encounters, for challenges and immersion.

Tyalasti
He’s able to stay organized throughout the campaign whilst making sure to update the players if they were unable to attend a game. Furthermore, he creates great and challenging encounters that follow the storyline. He’s very versatile; therefore, he can fit in white anyone, no matter their playing styles.
Quelenrian
I played tabletop RPG for over 22 years, but was new to the system the game was running. With the GM guidance and sharing of specific rules that may occur in upcoming encounters before games, it allowed me to learn the system at a steady pace rather then having to know all the rules on day one. Great Game recaps to read to get you ready for next session.
Durwin McLellan
I enjoyed him as a GM; when required you interpreted the rules in a fair and balanced way to keep the game challenging and enjoyable for players. I found you were well prepared for games and were good at "setting the stage" with great introductions.
Michel Hubert-Legault
Easy going, player concept enabling, good placing and knows when to adjust difficulty!

Mike is a very cool GM and knows his stuff very well. We were 3 new and 1 experienced player and we discovered together the new world of PF2. If you are thinking of getting into PF2, this is the guy to come and see.
