About me

About Me I have previously worked for Rowan, Rook, and Decard (the publisher of Spire: The City Must Fall, Heart: The City Beneath, and Honey Heist) as a pro GM running Spire at GenCon, and now I want to bring Spire to the rest of the world as well. I run my online games on Discord and Roll20, and if you live in Minneapolis/St. Paul or their surrounding suburbs, I’m also available to book for in-person games. As stated above, I specialize in running Spire: The City Must Fall, a D10 pool system set in a mile-high dieselpunk city-building that served as the home of the drow until it was colonized by the high elves 200 years ago. You play as drow revolutionaries trying to overthrow your oppressors, and the game digs heavily into themes of realistic revolution where not everyone survives unscathed and some PCs might not survive at all. If you enjoyed Netflix’s Arcane, want a game that allows players to have substantial influence on developing the setting and plot, or have only played D&D and want a system with similar classes but more of a focus on roleplay than mechanics, a more tech-heavy setting, and darker narrative themes, then Spire might be a good fit for you. I’m happy to work with people with who aren’t familiar with the system—I’m experienced in running Spire for people who are new to it and am eager to help you learn.

GM Style

Spire is a very roleplay-centric game and I am a narrative-focused GM, and I want to tailor my games to what stories my players are looking for as much as possible. Narrative expectations will be discussed in Session Zero, and to further help with this, my games use the Beats mechanic from Heart: The City Beneath rather than Spire’s traditional mechanic for gaining class advances. (This means that you will list some things you’d like your character to do in the campaign, and when your character does those things, they gain a new class ability.) I want my tables to be a safe and comfortable space for everyone, so we will be using safety tools (lines/veils/highlights, X card-like safe signals, etc.) You do not have to pay for Session Zero, as I believe that Session Zero is a time to determine whether a campaign is right for you and I don’t want to make someone pay for the entry point to a campaign they end up not wanting to participate in. My games are also a welcoming space for queer people, POCs, disabled people, mentally ill/neurodivergent people, or people who are otherwise part of marginalized demographics. Spire is a game about rising up against those who seek to oppress you, and the last thing I want is for the message of my games to not be in line with what I support in reality. I reserve the right to remove players who are exhibiting bigoted behavior or are otherwise acting in a way that negatively affects the game for other people involved. All players in my games must be 18 or older, as there may be sexual content and/or graphic depictions of violence.
