About YC
I am an experienced Game Master who has run thousands of hours of games over the last 5 years in-person, over Roll20, and over FoundryVTT. I've GM-ed everything from dice-less story games to crunchy tactical ones, but my most played games are Pathfinder 2e, D&D 5e, Call of Cthulhu, and Delta Green. Everyone is welcome at my table and inclusion is a priority for me! I love sharing this hobby and my goal is to ensure that anyone who is looking for a game feels welcome to sit at my table and roll some dice without judgement. 🎠In my games you can expect light-hearted fun and humor, but also serious moments and a commitment to immersion when the story demands it. I am also very intent on my campaigns being PC-driven. Even in the published Adventure Paths I run, you can expect me to integrate player backstories, create custom sidequests, and heavily modify the written adventure to account for player decisions and make my campaigns a truly unique experience. 📕Lastly, I bring a deep rules knowledge of the systems I GM, which not only helps the game run smoothly but also allows me to easily accommodate players of various skill levels and enable player creativity (if you want to do something, I can work with you to find a way to make your idea come to life through the mechanics of the game whenever possible!)

How YC runs games
I like to include a mix of roleplay and combat in my games and I strive to make both of those aspects engaging and character-driven. In the roleplay, you can expect a sprinkling of humorous characterizations and funny character voices, but I strike a balance between those moments of levity and more serious NPCs/RP moments. Additionally I aim to craft all my NPCs with deep personalities and motivations to reward player engagement and investment into the roleplay. For combat, I use my strong rules-knowledge and an understanding of the player group to create interesting scenarios with varied terrains, enemy types, tactics, and encounter objectives that ensure the right level of challenge for the group I'm running for (whether a group of new players or a band of experienced veterans). In the bigger picture, I also prioritize making my campaigns be PC-driven. I run primarily published adventures, but you can expect me to integrate your backstory, create custom sidequests, and modify NPCs and scenarios to make each campaign a unique experience for the party. Lastly, I stand more on the RAW side of things when it comes to D&D and Pathfinder. But I use the rules as a framework for creativity rather than as a legally-binding document - if you have a cool idea that stretches the rules I will work with you to come up with a way to execute that idea in a mechanically-balanced way by leveraging my deep knowledge of the system. Whether you are a new player looking to try out RPGs, or an experienced one looking for a memorable adventure, I would be excited to guide you on your next journey!
