About Magic&Mysterium

I’ve been into D&D and tabletop games since I was 10, starting out with just a small group of friends and a big imagination. I was the “poor kid in the rich kid gang” back in college, but that didn’t stop me from diving deep into GMing and storytelling. One of my longest-running campaigns lasted 7 years—shaped and sharpened alongside a close friend who helped me grow into the GM I am today. I’d say I’m a pretty chill guy who just genuinely loves games, geek culture, and bringing people together. Whether it's comic books, conventions, movies, or nerding out over lore, I’m all in. Outside of games, I work in tech as a team lead and spend weekends volunteering with animal care—which is super rewarding. I’m also a challenger of the big C, so I try to live with a “fun time, not necessarily a long time” mindset. That means I'm here to enjoy the ride and make sure others are too. If anything I ever say or do in a game doesn’t sit right, please don’t hesitate to bring it up. I take feedback seriously—and I’ve been told I’m pretty good at it! Between leading teams and teaching others, especially when it comes to RPGs, I really enjoy helping folks grow and feel welcome at the table.

I got started GMing...

Because I wanted to share my passion for storytelling with people from different cultures and all walks of life—to contribute to a world created for them, explored by them, and shaped by their desires, ultimately bringing it to life through their own experience

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Highly experience driven.

When I'm not running games I'm...

playing games, reading, watching anime, or helping out at the animal shelter!

How Magic&Mysterium runs games

In my games, you can expect a strong narrative focus where your character’s goals and choices really shape the story. I love crafting adventures that feel personal and impactful, where your actions truly matter and can shift the course of events. My main goal is to create a fun, inclusive, and safe environment where everyone at the table feels comfortable and excited to share their love for the game. I’m especially into lore-rich storytelling, and I love working with players who are passionate and committed to their characters and the world we’re building together. Whether it’s high fantasy or another fandom you’re into, I’ve got experience running games across different systems and genres, so I’m always up for tailoring the adventure to fit the vibe we’re going for—though fantasy is definitely my go-to. One of the things I really love is helping new players get into the game. Whether you’re brand new, coming back after a break, or switching over from a different edition, I try to be as patient and supportive as possible. I’m always happy to screen share, walk through rules, or explain mechanics in a way that makes sense for each person. At my table, we use safety tools like consent checklists, session zero discussions, and XYZ cards when needed, so everyone’s boundaries are respected and we can focus on having a great time. If you're into collaborative storytelling with room for character-driven drama and epic moments, I think you’ll feel right at home!

I think metagaming...

Should not exist within the realms of the game unless it's to elevate the level of a scene, in accordance to the agreement of all the parties involved, most of the time it's a negative trait at any table.

I think min/maxing...

is completely okay! I had many optimized characters too and players who enjoy these type of play are welcome at my games, but remember it should not be your sole focus on the experience! (:

My table is not the place for...

Players who have difficulty socializing and having fun with people from all walks of life.
