About me
I am a professional voice actor with 20 years of improv acting. I love both the collaborative storytelling of TTRPGs and the more gritty game elements of some systems. I tailor my approach to meet the needs of every table. Ultimately we are telling a story together. I love being surprised by our choices and character moments.
GM Style
I love telling stories that make players make hard choices with areas of grey. I approach a pretty balanced roll play and combat with an eye to what is fun. I bring strong points of view for my NPCs with a variety of voices. As a comedian I am open to either comedic campaigns. As a horror writer, I am all for building more dramatic tension. Depends on the table and we will lean in to either or both.

I had a really fun time playing Brindlewood Bay with Luke. It was my first time playing this particular game and he made it easy to pick up the rules and feel like my character was a part of the world. He's an excellent storyteller and brought in all kinds of interesting characters for us to interact with. Brindlewood Bay is more of a collaborative storytelling exercise and he struck a good balance of giving us some structure to work from but letting us explore and add to the story as we saw fit. It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and I definitely plan to play more Brindlewood Bay with Luke in the future!

Just finished a one-shot call of chtulhu game with Luke, and I can absolutely say without a doubt that you WILL NOT be disappointed when the game closes to an end! Great game, very narrative driven, great at setting the scene. Would absolutely recommend!

Honestly, i would definitely play with Luke again. The story was well worked and told the story beautifully. He brought back some small joke that I early in the story back later in, and it was such a good laugh.

Very engaging and informative. Gives great detail narrating and guiding through the story.
Storytime with Uncle Casey
I just played a one-shot with Luke and it was awesome. It was an immersive journey with a fully fleshed out story (which is tough to do with a one-shot), twists, surprises, and allowed for many player hijinks. The pacing never felt forced, he never rushed the players RP moments, and really created as open-world feel as is possible for a short game. I'm very impressed.
Tyler Howe
Very fun and fluid with the story and characters. Doesn't railroad and likes to run with player ideas!
