About me

Hi, I'm irately! You can call me Andrew if you like. I am a storyteller at my core. My current focus is game design, but I have dabbled in writing and digital art. My love for storytelling found its outlet in tabletop roleplaying games, and I have been a game master since my teenage years. I constantly seek out tools to improve the experience I provide.

GM Style

I focus on the player; their agency is vital. Roleplaying is central in my mind. I aim to evoke emotions in my players. I run fast, intense combats. Every problem has a silver bullet. I run 0 Sessions to make sure everyone is on the same page.

Andrew has done a solid job at creating a completely homebrew world. The World, the races, even the currency are all homebrew, so if that's the type of thing you enjoy, you would very much so enjoy his Tree of Bones world. He is attentive, asks for player feedback and pays attention to it. He seems prepared and has done a nice job with maps and music and wants you to get invested in the world he has created.

I really like the unique setting Andrew is creating, it's detailed and interesting to explore without any hustle. He's an attentive DM, who is always asking for his player's opinion and creates a comfortable place to play.

Having just finished session two, I feel like we've got a good handle on how Andrew is as a GM. He values cooperation between characters and players. Character creation was a whole-party experience and it had us coming up with a fun group that actually likes each other. His campaign setting is incredibly imaginative and original, and it's still pretty easy to wrap your head around it after a session or two.
