About me

Hey, my name is Craig! I'm an artist and musician from the Philadelphia area and have been playing DnD since 2nd edition! I've been playing DnD most of my life and have always enjoyed introducing new people to the TTRPG hobby. Whenever possible I love to make my own stuff for Tabletop games, whether that means miniatures, illustrations, maps, or lore.

GM Style

At heart, I am more of an improv-er and roleplay-er rather than a strategist when it comes to running games, but I always try to bring a complete experience to the table to satisfy a diverse group of players. It's important to me that everyone gets a chance to shine in the spotlight and have problems their characters can solve. My favorite games to run are sandbox-style games where the players are really driving the action and prompting me with the things they most want to do and see, but I also love delving into a carefully crafted dungeon with puzzles and riddles and unique combat challenges to solve. Expect some silliness and jokes, some fumbling around, but also some moments of badassery and occasional heavier emotions. I'm a bit more old-school in that I don't mind killing characters, but I'm also ok with ret-conning things if the players aren't having fun or felt misinformed about a decision. I hope to make my table feel like one big supportive family environment, even when I'm threatening you all with deadly challenges. All kinds of players welcome, grognards on warning.

Been playing in Craig's campaigns for close to 20 years, starting with a very memorable 3.5e homebrew and continuing through both published adventures and his own settings and stories. Excellent characters, thoughtful and detailed world design, overall just a great experience every time. Good balance of action, puzzles, and roleplaying. He's a great DM for both new and experienced players.

I've been playing with Craig for 7 years, both as a fellow PC, and with him as our DM. His characters are always thought out and fantastic. He's lead us through Tomb of Annihilation, Curse of Strad, as well as his own world he built. While all were fantastic, his home built world was by far my favorite. He worked hard with me to integrate the backstory I wanted into the world! A++ good time would recommend

By far the best home brew I've ever played. Memorable NPC, a huge world and tons of original artwork!

Craig has years of experience and allowed players to be creative with enthusiasm. He is very animated and creates a wonderful world of characters along with great voices. I have some dnd experience but he would also be a perfect DM for beginners or more advanced players.
