About me

You can call me Scraw, Sam, or something else. I have lots of experience running TTRPGs, including Dungeons and Dragons (ADND, 3.5e, and 5e), Dungeon Crawl Classics, Old School Essentials, and Cairn. I am founder and director of the Gnomestones gaming organization, which publishes TTRPG modules, creates content for youtube and twitch, manages the website www.gnomestones.fun, and hosts game development jams in the greater Olympia area. I am a long time nerd of fantasy, gaming, philosophy, and nature. My table is welcoming, supportive, and fun, and I have high hopes that the stories you will craft with me will be exciting and unforgettable! I have years of experience as an educator, leadership trainer, and therapeutic group facilitator. I apply my training in group dynamics to make sure that my table is respectful, well-paced, and to help each player have fun at their own rate and in their own way.

GM Style

At my table, we play the Gnomestones way: πŸ—ΊοΈ Track your location on the map. You can go where ever you want βš”οΈ Combat rules are inductive, with potential for custom abilities 🎭 Roleplay with funny voices OR 🏰 Describe scene in 3rd person πŸ“– Emergent stories build on your choices ⛰️ Sessions end on cliffhangers πŸ’€ Play challenging old-school style OR 🐢 keep it PG-13 and friendly πŸ† Select from several classic modules πŸ₯” Get lost in the homebrew world of Gnomestones 🎲 Roll tons of dice, but only for things that matter πŸ’› Respect and support each other, let everyone tell their story πŸ’₯ Inspired by: Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Adventure Time, The Edge Chronicles, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Discworld, history, mythology, and the TTRPGs of countless other creators.
