About me

Hi, I'm Fawkes — your storyteller behind the screen. I've been playing and running tabletop RPGs for 25+ years, ever since I cracked open Vampire: The Masquerade with my brother. Since then, I’ve GM’d everything from zombie survival homebrews to cosmic horror in Call of Cthulhu, superhero drama in Mutants & Masterminds, and of course — countless unforgettable stories in Dungeons & Dragons. 🎲 What I offer: Deeply roleplay-focused games where character choices matter Cinematic combat with tactical depth and challenge A welcoming table for both beginners and veteran players Games using the 2024 D&D 5e ruleset, with a strong story-first approach A free first session to help you see if it's the right fit I specialize in immersive storytelling, compelling NPCs, and meaningful player agency. My players describe my games as engaging, emotionally rich, and full of twists that leave a lasting impact. 💬 Whether you're stepping into Baldur’s Gate for the first time or returning for another epic, I’m here to make sure your character’s story matters. Currently running: 🕯️ Baldur’s Gate: Chains of Avernus — a rich, RP-heavy campaign built on the official Descent into Avernus hardcover with my own homebrew twists, using the 2024 ruleset. 💥 New tables just opened! Try your first session for free and see why my games keep players coming back week after week. Let’s build something unforgettable — together. 🎭 "I'll see you in the theater of the mind."

GM Style

My games are all about immersion, consequence, and collaboration. I build worlds that react — where your choices matter, and the story evolves around what your characters say and do. I love weaving character backstories into the narrative and making you feel like the protagonists of a living, breathing world. Expect a rich mix of: 🎭 Roleplay-forward storytelling, with deep character moments and memorable NPCs ⚔️ Challenging, tactical combat, where positioning, teamwork, and creative thinking matter 🧠 Meaningful decisions, where actions have consequences, and smart play is rewarded I’m comfortable shifting the spotlight to match the energy of the table — whether you're a heavy roleplayer, a strategist who loves combat, or someone still discovering your playstyle. I use voices and dramatic pacing to enhance immersion, without ever making it intimidating. I welcome beginners with open arms and patiently teach the rules along the way. Above all, I aim to foster a table that’s fun, respectful, and story-rich — a place where everyone contributes and every session moves the story forward. If you’re looking for a GM who values your creativity, challenges your characters, and helps craft unforgettable arcs, I’d love to have you at my table.
