About Matt
Hey there, I'm Matt! I'm a pretty busy family man, father of 3 kids ages 10 and under, but I've always set aside time for TTRPGs which have been a part of my life since high school years. At every step of life I've managed to maintain my status as a "career GM," even sometimes running games for my kids. I've GM'd games at GenCon independently, full-time, for the past 4 years. My game interests tend towards simpler, 'indie' kind of games. Examples are Shadowdark, 'Borgs, Cairne, Dragonbane, Mothership, Alien RPG, Liminal Horror, and so forth.

I became a GM because
It's always my turn when I GM. :) Jokes aside, I GM because it's the best means I have to giving other people a good time.
My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be
Mothership for ease-of-play, 'do anything' sci fi. Shadowdark for easy medieval fantasy! Liminal Horror for modern stuff.
When I'm not running games I'm...
With my family! I'm a busy father of 3, ages 10 and under. We enjoy soccer practice, running team, swimming, board games, so on... They're even starting to get into TTRPGs! Otherwise I dabble in video games, although not as much as I used to, and my goal this year is to go back to reading!
How Matt runs games
I like a mix of things, but I feel like I shine most at improvisational gameplay. I'm very much a "yes, and" or "no, but" sort of GM who likes to "play to find out," drawing off of random tables or turn of events opposed to preparing a set piece of an adventure (not to say I don't draw from published adventure/material from time to time...).
