About me

Hi, I'm Harrison (he/him, 🏳‍🌈, fun scary) and I'm thrilled to be your GM! I fell in love with TTRPGs 20 years ago and they've been taking up way too much space in my head ever since. So I bring people together to have fun with our brains and tell amazing stories! I love roleplaying, improv, myths, fairytales, and all things wonderful and spooky. I'm also a project manager with a background in literature and storytelling, which helps me tailor my campaigns and make them unique to your characters! Collaborative stories, character development, dynamic combat, and player agency are all integral to my games. See you at the table!

GM Style

With me you can expect: Campaigns that embrace the characters you’re excited to play! Meaningful choices that have real impact on the story and game world. Custom magic items that grow with your character. Entertaining and slightly unhinged NPC’s. Dynamic, high-stakes skill challenges. Sword-swinging, spell-slinging, multi-phase boss fights. Safe and inclusive games: everyone is welcome at my table.

Harrison clearly cares about his players! He offers a lot of customization and wants to make sure the characters feel exciting. Coming into an existing campaign, it was great to see how he took the time to work with me to create a tailored backstory that felt very collaborative and naturally hooked me into what was going on in the story already. He knew when to give me suggestions, and when to sit back and let me make the call. I would recommend him for players of any level of experience!

Harrison is an amazing GM! I am currently in one of his campaigns and just signed up for another one that he is running. Harrison is super willing to work with you to help create an amazing backstory for your character and will work your backstory into the narrative. It's been a really cool experience to see things that relate to the character I created coming to life in game. He allows each of his players chances to shine and to work together to find solutions to the problems that the adventure presents. Fights are challenging and exciting while being well thought out for your level. Can't recommend him enough!

Harrison does a great job in allowing player creativity in the characters, not forcing them to strictly adhere to the game guidelines. His encounters and combat are fun, and he paints a great world in the theater of the mind.

Harrison was the GM who showed me how much fun role playing could be. He’s a great GM for novices and veteran players alike. He is a masterful storyteller who draws you into his world. He is always prepared for the weird and wacky character responses to situations. And if he is not, you likely wouldn’t know because of his ability to improvise. You won’t be disappointed with Harrison as your GM. Beware the Witch Hag!

Harrison was my first introduction to D&D, and really helped me get to terms with how everything works. His world building and scene setting is amazing, and really brings a lot of depth to each session. I've had hilarious, goofy sessions and pretty heavy, deep sessions with him, and it's always been a blast.
