About me

I love RPGs because they let us get together as fun, creative people; we interact, tell jokes, solve problems and roll dice. It's great! I've played RPGs since the mid 1990s. I've played D&D, World of Darkness, Shadowrun, Star Trek, Star Wars, Fading Suns, Lord of the Rings, Call of Cthulhu, and the list goes on. I love the creativity and variety of RPGs.

GM Style

As a GM, I believe that a good story or module is focused on PCs. It is my job to bring the world around those PCs to life. I like to do that with voices. Expect lots of voices. I try to encourage a laid-back, supportive and cohesive environment that encourages playing a group of characters together. I like characters who make choices that may not be optimized or the most strategic decisions. I don't like characters who try to cause trouble within the group or use role-playing as an excuse to have a character who is a jerk to the other characters. Some conflict and tension between PCs is good, but they should still all generally and genuinely want to get along. I'm pretty much Lawful Good (it's even my license plate), so expect me to stick to the rules for the most part. I don't know them all, and I may waive or modify them if it fits the story and the drama.

Kevin has been an absolute GANGSTER of a DM. His communication with players is second to none. He has such an incredible drive for creating an amazing story for every single player in the group. If I were to have one DM for the rest of my life, I would die happy having Kevin guide our stories.

I've been playing with Kevin a few months now, and he's a fantastically welcoming DM. He makes you feel immediately at home, utilizes lots of fun characterizations and voices, and incorporates character backgrounds while providing unique character-specific moments. He also balances role play and action/combat well. He's even designed his own homebrew world and campaign. I can't recommend him enough.

Kevin does a great job of bringing his NPCs to life and making them memorable. This contributes to a world that feels alive and real. He allows every player at the table to have story moments with their characters and is able to weave their backgrounds into the bigger story. Most importantly, he facilitates fun and that's why we're all here!

I've been very lucky to play D&D with Kevin for the past few years. I had not played D&D ever prior to joining his table and he runs a very welcoming and awesome game and helped me get on my feet to play and make memories. You'll run the full gamut of emotions in his games -- there will be times you'll be dying of laughter and there will be times you're sitting on the edge of your seat praying for whatever dice gods to go your way. Our group started as an in-person game, but with COVID we transitioned to online and I can say the sessions are just as good and we've taken to using VTT's now even when we're all in person again. Kevin's great to reach out to when you have ideas -- he almost always finds a way to take your idea and make it work. Seriously, sign up and play -- you won't regret it!
