About me

Storytellers, welcome one and all. My name is Matt and I just love a good story, so please come along and share in tales of adventure. Since I was young I've been writing and sketching, weaving adventures in any form I had available. Through education I embarked on a short career in Film Production, before finding a home and fulfilment in the TTRPG community. I would like nothing more than to offer each of you a fraction of that same fulfilment, as we adventure together and chart the course of your next great story.

GM Style

"Yes and..." or "No, but..." are two of the most important phrases in my repertoire. I very much enjoy some good roleplay, supported by rules, rather than limited by them. At the end of the day, any game is about the group working together to tell a great story. It's my job to facilitate that in the most fun way possible. Whether you're an experience roleplayer, or a complete newbie, I'll work with you to create a session that you find engaging and enjoyable.

Was my first time playing Star Trek Adventures and GM Matt did a great job of teaching the rules and walking us through rules in a fun manner. Really had a good time and highly recommend.

For a session designed for beginners to a game system it was absolutely spot on, Matt was able to keep the narrative flowing for the benefit of the game while explaining the rules which isn't always an easy thing to do. I'd recommend this session for any newbies!

A brilliant introduction to the game. I'm very new to RPG and Star Trek, and the GM made me feel really comfortable and I got into the game much more than I thought I would. Went through the rules as they occurred in the adventure and also explained possible outcomes if dice rolls were different.
