About me

I'm a long time RPG player and GM. I ran for my high school friends on the 90s, and I've run for my current gaming group off and on for almost 20 years. I enjoy most anything that brings fun to the table, be it a crunchy dungeon crawl or a quirky indie game. As a GM, I love seeing what sorts of characters my players will bring to the game, and then throwing those characters into memorable stories with shocking twists. I've also got a fondness for Japanese tabletop RPGs, many of which are great for one-shots.

GM Style

I typically try to play to the strengths of whatever system I'm running. For d20-based games, that generally means a pretty solid focus on combat, though every game needs a good amount of roleplay to fill it out and give the fighting a purpose. I've got a pretty good vocal range and I like to take advantage of that with weird voices. I'm a huge fan of big story twists and you can generally expect a few of them in any given campaign.

Steve has a lot of experience, good knowledge of the game, and runs AP's by the book. If you are looking for a firm and fair DM, he's your guy. Would rate 5 stars but combat tends to be on the more-difficult-than-I-bargained-for side 9.5 times out of 10

this is my first game on startplaying.games and ive had a lot of fun. GM Steve is a patient, creative, and knowledgable GM. adept at both storytelling and manipulation of the virtual tabletop. its a real personal kick to the junk that i gotta quit because its a lot of fun, but this fat boy has gotta make some money instead of gaming. Thanks Steve!!!
