About me
Hi y'all! My name is Liam and I want to help you express your creativity! I've been a musician and director since I was young and have always believed that everyone deserves the chance to be creative. I've been GMing for 4 years and enjoy all kinds of adventures, from fantasy and pulp action to dramatic thrillers. I've run Homebrew and Official Campaign modules. I'd love to meet you and run a fun, vast, and immersive campaign together! Being born and raised in the SF Bay Area means folx of all backgrounds, identities, and orientations are welcome!
GM Style
My favorite games as a GM are also some of my favorites to play! I love a deep world with more discovery and secrets around every corner. You gotta have some good roleplay in there just to set the stakes for the rising action. I always encourage my players to be creative. There's more than one way to solve any problem! Even when I'm improvising I'm always bringing in tropes and movie quotes, so feel free to quip away. If you're open to silliness, scenes can always be more heightened, and can even go gonzo. I have years of experience managing group environments so I'm happy to share the spotlight, I love bringing people together so I can confidently say anyone is welcome. š Story Comes First I run games with real stakes, strange twists, and moments youāll actually remember. Your choices shape what happens. š Character-Driven Play I love PCs who feel like people; messy, layered, and full of heart. If your character matters to you, they matter to me. ⨠Tailored to You Whether weāre running a published module or something homebrew, I shape the world around your characters and ideas. š Collaborative Worldbuilding Your backstory helps define the setting. Weāre telling this story together, and your input matters. š Everyone Gets a Moment No spotlight hogging. Every player gets time for cool moves, quiet scenes, and emotional payoff. š Beginner Friendly New to the game? Iāve got you. Iāll guide you through the rules, and weāll learn as we go. š Fun Is the Point Weāre here to enjoy ourselves. The vibe is creative, chill, and full of āwhat if we tried thisā¦ā energy. š¤ Inclusive and Safe Space My tables are actively welcoming. Queer, trans, neurodivergent, BIPOC, disabled individuals are always invited to the table. No room for hate or ājust kiddingā bigotry. š Distinct NPCs and Voices I bring characters to life with voice acting and improv, from creepy weirdos to heartfelt companions.
