About me

Hey, everyone! I’m Leland, a lifelong tabletop RPG enthusiast. I’ve been running games since I was 15 (that’s over 20 years now!), and my passion for storytelling, world-building, and breathing life into characters has only grown stronger with time. When you join one of my games, you’re stepping into a world filled with daring battles, ancient mysteries, and bonds forged through shared adventures. Every player’s voice shapes the story we tell together, creating a unique journey where we’ll celebrate victories, embrace unexpected twists, and build memories that last long after the dice stop rolling. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or brand-new to the game, there’s a seat for you at my table. I strive to foster an inclusive, welcoming space where creativity thrives and everyone’s contributions matter.

📖 Depth of Storytelling: I craft immersive, intricate narratives that captivate players from the first roll to the last. 🎭 Character Development: I breathe life into complex, relatable characters that leave a lasting impact on the story and players alike. ✨ Custom Content: Whether running a module or creating something new, I love adding unique twists that spotlight your characters and make the game your own. 🌍 Collaborative World Building: I actively involve players in shaping the world and its lore, weaving their ideas and backstories into the fabric of the setting to create a shared, dynamic storytelling experience. 🤝 Inclusivity Advocate: I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone, regardless of ability, age, gender identity, nationality, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic background, neurodiversity, or any other factor. 🎙 Experienced Voice Actor: With over 20 years of amateur voice acting, I bring an array of authentic, unique characters to life at the table. 🌟 Player Engagement: I make sure every player gets their moment in the spotlight, encouraging active participation and immersion. 😂 Friendly Laughter: I make sure the game is all about having a good time, sharing laughs with friends—both old and new! 🔄 Adaptability: I easily adjust game dynamics on the fly, making sure player decisions always shape the story and keep the experience seamless. 👋 Encouraging Beginners: I’m patient and welcoming with new players, ensuring they feel comfortable, no matter the experience level of the group or the complexity of the campaign. 🕊 Conflict Resolution: I skillfully handle both in-game and interpersonal conflicts, keeping a positive and healthy group dynamic a top priority. 📚 Continuous Learner: I stay up-to-date with the latest RPG mechanics, lore, and GM techniques to ensure our sessions are always improving.
