About Alex
Howdy! I'm Alex (he/him), a trans man from Georgia. I work as a ghost writer and commission author, which has allowed me years of experience in world-building and storytelling. My BFA is in Acting for Stage and Screen. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for over 12 years, with a general focus on D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder 1st Edition. These days, I tend to DM 5th Edition and Pathfinder, though I have finished two campaigns in other systems. I love writing, gardening, gaming, and group storytelling.

How Alex runs games
I am a narrative-focused DM! While I enjoy combat, puzzles and storytelling are my specialty. I have written several novels, as well as short stories that were later published in collections. My playing style tends to lean more toward improvisational, although I will write monologues and certain dramatic scenes in advance. I love a high fantasy story about adventure with undertones of political intrigue. However, I can work with a variety of genres. My games tend to have adult themes, but I discuss limits with my players regularly. Additionally, I heavily encourage player-character story. The more a player gives me with backstory, the more I flesh out the world around them. I am new player friendly! Most of my games have included at least one new player in the past. Because of this, I have taught over 30 people how to play Dungeons and Dragons. I am very comfortable continuing to teach new players.
