About me

Hey! I’ve been DMing on and off since the 90s, and recently for the past few years. I like to keep my games balanced between role-playing, combat, and puzzles, so everyone gets a chance to shine. I mostly stick to published adventures, but I love using companion pieces to add a bit of whimsy and keep things fresh. My style is laid-back and fun—I'm all about making sure everyone enjoys the game. If you're looking for a relaxed, enjoyable session with a mix of storytelling and surprises, I'm your DM.

GM Style

Roleplay: While role-playing isn’t my primary focus, I’m more than happy to match the players' enthusiasm. I make sure to give characters plenty of opportunities to interact with NPCs and shape their own stories through their decisions. I aim for roleplay to make up about 33% of the game, striking a balance between character development and action. Character Voices: I’m not a master of voices, but I’m pretty decent at it! I enjoy using different accents and speech patterns to bring NPCs to life. It helps differentiate characters and adds a bit of extra immersion to the world. Combat: I prefer to stick closely to the rules during combat for a consistent experience. It helps keep things fair and predictable, while still allowing some flexibility for creative player actions within the rules.
