About me

I’ve been a GM for D&D games with friends, for volunteering and work for over five years both in person and online. I have recently become a GM through StartPlaying and looking to bring a variety of games to a variety of people in a variety of different ways! I have a passion for creating worlds through my own writing but also helping people make their own worlds - I love nothing more than to help someone create a setting and become a player in a crafted experience they always wanted to be a part of. My first experience of playing D&D was playing at my local college and having my character being killed by an animated plant two hours in. GM of said game ended up being the best man at my wedding – another aspect of these games and being a GM is the collective crafting of stories and friendships along the way. Rest assured, I do not run games as brutally (unless you are into that sort of thing!).

GM Style

Depending on how many sessions are planned, if I can offer it, I love to provide a sandbox and let players explore and discover interesting hooks and nooks off the beaten track. If using supplements or established settings, I am not against veering the narrative off if I think that will bring more enjoyment and satisfaction to players (within reason). Overall, I usually like to follow the ‘rule of storytelling’, no matter how wild that might take things. In regards to actual mechanical rules, I like to stick to ‘rules as written’ most of the time...though I'm never against skewing things to make an interesting combat moment or narrative beat! Before the start of any campaign, I always establish with the players what they want in regards to rules so there’s no unexpected discourse from debating rules or playing styles.
