About me

Hey there! Whether you're new to tabletop roleplaying games and seeking an experienced guide for an exciting adventure, OR you're a seasoned player looking to for a great game you've come to the right place. My goal is to provide a consistent, high-quality experience in a player-friendly environment. My games start on time, typically with a 5-10 minute recap of the last session and any important in-game events or news updates. I only host games that I’m confident and passionate about, so you can trust that every session is well-prepared and engaging. Feedback is always welcome from my players, and I make every effort to improve on areas where needed. My tables thrive on atmosphere and storytelling, creating moments of suspense, tension, and the thrill of not knowing what lies behind the next door. I focus on immersion, keeping the adventure moving, and ensuring both players and their characters have the chance to shine. Grab a seat at my table for a cinematic and engaging experience that will leave you excited for the next adventure! Curious about one of the Game Systems I run? Send me a DM!

GM Style

Immersive. Cinematic. Action-packed. Player Spotlights. Visual and Audio Effects. My goal is to run the type of game that I'd want to play in. I want someone that knows the rules, but isn't going to grind the game to a halt when there's a question. I like immersion and atmosphere in a game, so having dynamic sound effects, visual effects or animations, and quality maps is an important focus. Most games are setup with blood splatters, attack animations and sound effects. Finally, I want to play a game where I can engage with the scene and the story, I want to explore my character while not knowing what comes next. If you're joining a campaign of mine, I'll likely ask what game do YOU want to play in and what encounters do you personally enjoy. I'll then work to craft the adventure to include some of those scenes. My games focus on immersion, keeping the adventure moving, engaging with players and their characters, and giving them a chance to shine. I use the Foundry Virtual Tabletop for the gameplay which will display your characters, the map, the dice, and everything you need to play. Foundry VTT runs best in Google Chrome and doesn't require a download or subscription. I host a private Discord server that will be used for our voice chat and banter.
