About me

I find tabletop RPGs to be a fantastic way to share stories, be creative, and explore ideas in a safe space. I started gaming in the early 90s with the West End Games Star Wars RPG, Shadowrun, and D&D 2nd Edition, and was inspired to create my own worlds based on the movies, books and comics I loved. Later, I moved to the Savage Worlds universal system for most of my games due to its cinematic nature and ability to easily adapt different genres. Most recently I've delved into Deadlands, Call of Cthulhu, Blades in the Dark, PbtA games and City of Mist. I enjoy mysteries, sci-fi, cyberpunk, steampunk, urban fantasy, traditional fantasy, pulp, and wuxia/martial arts games, however other genres and mashups are always a treat!

GM Style

I endeavor to be friendly and welcoming, giving new players the help and encouragement they need to learn the hobby. My games are cinematic and involve a lot of freedom for the players to explore and get deep into their characters and social situations, punctuated by combat scenes. Expect a high amount of roleplaying, medium combat & strategy, and medium crunch (i.e. math) to the systems I use, which are Savage Worlds and Blades in the Dark.
