About me
My GM style is relaxed, story-rich, and focused on collaborative fun. I run dynamic, sandbox-style campaigns where player choices matter and the world reacts accordingly. One-shots are brisk and punchy, racing toward satisfying conclusions. Custom campaigns are always shaped by player preferences, character backgrounds, and group play styles. I use “destiny dice” and “iron dice” to keep things thrilling—embracing both luck and consequence to create stories that stick with you. I prize player agency above all. The real magic happens when fate, risk, and reward intertwine—those moments when a single die roll can alter everything. Whether you want to kick down doors, solve mysteries, forge political alliances, or explore the unknown, I’ll help tailor the experience to your group’s vibe. My goal is always to create unforgettable memories shaped by your choices and the chaos of the dice. I’ve played and run a massive range of systems—D&D (from the original boxed set to 5e), Gamma World, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Metamorphosis Alpha, Call of Cthulhu, Traveller, and far more. I’m also ready to dive into Tales of the Valiant and Outgunned. My campaigns take place in rich, varied settings like the Forgotten Realms, Mystara, Blackmoor, Hyperborea, and original worlds. I own and run modules from WotC, Kobold Press, Frog God Games, DCC/MCC, and tons of third-party publishers. If it’s been written, I’ve probably read it—and if I haven’t, I can get up to speed quickly. I’ve been rolling dice since Tunnels & Trolls and the earliest days of D&D—back when Chainmail was still in play. Since then, I’ve lived a wild, story-filled life both in and out of games, and I now bring that passion to the table full-time. From kids’ birthday games to corporate team-building to grognard reunions, I’ve run it all. I believe the best games are forged in shared challenges and the camaraderie that comes with them. Let’s tell amazing stories together. TL;DR: Veteran GM with a massive RPG library and decades of experience. I run fun, story-driven games shaped by player choices, fate, and creativity. You bring the characters—I’ll bring the world!
GM Style
GM Style: Friendly, Flexible, and Epic I run tailored, player-focused games that blend freedom with high-stakes fun. Want Destiny Dice (aka Iron Dice)? Totally your call. Player agency is everything—follow the threads or blaze your own trail in a living sandbox world full of evolving storylines. Sessions are run on Discord (mic required, camera encouraged) using Owlbear Rodeo, AboveVTT, or Theater of the Mind—your call. I’ll adapt to what works best for your group and your vibe. Whether you want an adventure run as written or a sprawling, ever-evolving sandbox using classic and modern modules, I bring dynamic storytelling and customized pacing. Roleplaying intensity is always player-driven—and yes, I do voices. My regulars say it’s “all the fun of 5E with the terror of original D&D.” Join the story. Step into the unknown. Let’s play.
