About me

I'm Kels, a fantasy writer, board game creator, and your soon-to-be favorite GM (hopefully!). I started running games when I was 11 yo, and I’ve been doing it ever since, for 22 years now. I GM Dungeons & Dragons, World of Darkness, or my own game Heroes of Darkness (a mix of the two). With a background in social sciences and a passion for anthropology, history, and linguistics, I love creating nuanced settings and immersive stories. Let’s roll some dice and tell a great story together!

GM Style

My GM style is all about the narration we build together as a group. I understand ttrpg as collective, collaborative storytelling and player agency. - I encourage roleplay (even if we are not good at acting lol). - Theater of the mind, vivid descriptions to spark imagination, and immersion in the world. - Sandbox enthusiast: I love empowering players to choose their course of action, shape the story, and leave a legacy in the world we are playing. - I'm fond of both intrigue and combat, so I can tailor the experience to suit your group’s style. - My focus is more on storytelling than the crunch. Narrative over numbers. - I add writing techniques to my stories, like a strong focus on character arch, plot, phasing, cliffhangers, foreshadowing, and so on. If you’re ready for a collaborative, imaginative adventure, I’ve got you covered!
