About me

Greetings Adventurers! I've been GMing and playing Pathfinder and DnD sessions for about 10 years now, 6 of which almost exclusively as a Game Master. I've been playing since Pathfinder 1e and the start of Pathfinder 2e. I have played Pathfinder 2e since beta and is my game system of choice, with complete knowledge of the system in and out. I am passionate about my role as a GM, and is why I try to provide the best experience possible! This involves a wonderful Discord community, music, a modified Foundry VTT-based experience, easy sheet keeping/character generation, along with thorough and purposeful storytelling that acts and reacts with characters and their actions. The player and group story always comes first, and I am looking forward to bringing that experience to you!

GM Style

It's the story we all tell together that pulls me in. I like to focus my GM style on balancing the pillars of TTRPG play, while also being able to rapidly adapt to feedback. This is done to better tailor an experience to the group's style of play, and I react on the fly to help facilitate this.

This GM is brilliant! They create a truly immersive world with engaging NPCs and interesting locations. They are always evolving the world and are really good at letting players take the adventure in new directions. They are also very attentive to players and are willing to answer questions and help new players get comfortable with the game. I always have a great time playing with them

An amazing GM! Super knowledgeable about the rules, but never lets them get in the way of creativity. He build rich, immersive worlds and always make space for player ideas to shine. Every session feels alive and collaborative. I highly recommend playing in one of his games!

I found Matt to be a top-tier Game Master. This seminar that he ran was for fellow GMs and though he did it for free, I'd have easily paid for it. His thoughts were invaluable and his demeanor was thoughtful, persuasive, and un-judgemental. There are few better out there.
