About me
"What do you do?" is one of the most magical phrases in all of gaming. I've been playing and running tabletop games since the D&D cartoon aired. D&D in particular, even as a flawed system in its many iterations, has been a decades long golden thread connecting great things in my life. One of my first jobs was at a game store and I remember selling a Concerned Mom on the magic of D&D based on its promise of social engagement, math, and creativity all in a bundle. I stand by that decades later. Systems I've loved: - Bunnies & Burrows - Palladium's TMNT - Shadowrun - D&D 2e, 4e, 5e D&D in every incarnation has held a special place in my heart. Let's play!
GM Style
I want to help tell your story. You as a player and what you want to explore through your PCs. What excites you about your character? Their backstory full of hooks, a mechanic you haven't tried, a meta or narrative goal? I'm all about it. And world building. I love world building. An article in "Kobold's Guide to Worldbuilding" by Wolfgang Baur described worldbuilding as (paraphrase) 'not making plots, but stacking dynamite.' Basically, that my responsibility as a designer and GM, is making a place where stories can unfold that feels alive, not because the table etiquette for the isolated Riverfain goblin tribe is defined in detail (quite fascinating and more nuanced than you'd imagine), but because what players choose to do has weight. Consequence. Simply put, in my world - at my table - you matter. OHEY. I also have a Project Sigil beta key - holler if you want to take a spin at my table.
