About me

👋👋👋Hello new potential friends! I want to save us some time and start with what is most important: Inclusivity and accessibility. We’ve all been othered at one point or another, that should never happen at a game table, and absolutely not at a paid one. I work my hardest to ensure that my tables are the exact opposite of that. I’m Miles, (He/her/they) and my experience playing and running TTRPG's for over 15 years had made me certain of this: If you want an action oriented game⚔️, heavy on character👾 and sprinkled with absurd moments🥸, epic stories📖, scenes of powerful awe and tragedy🎭, and a liiiittle flirting😍-I am absolutely the right GM for you! I want my games to play like all our favorite TV shows. I love to adapt stories from all sorts of different genres into a tabletop setting. My GMing is heavily influenced by my experience as a professional actor and stuntman, two jobs I left behind because I loved this more. I bring a trained understanding of story, character motivation, and drama, and I combine that with 17 years of experience performing and improvising on a professional level, and a decade of designing fights for stage and screen. 👾Message me on Discord any time with questions!👾 🎓Cool things I’ve done that I am super proud of🎓 Recently published🎊 - I wrote the full campaign for the Dragon Thrones Kickstarter. Founded Geeks4Good🦸 - One of the up and coming success stories of Actual Play Streaming, back when Crit Role was really gaining steam-we raised over 10k for various nonprofits and charities, and I’m really proud of the work I did there. Nominated for Best Principal Actor🧑‍🎤 - San Francisco Bay Area Critics Circle way back in 2015 for a premiere of a queer Irish play called For the Love of Comrades. Paddy Crean Award🤺 - iykyk 🔮Current professional games that are not on StartPlaying🔮 Eberron Homebrew - 6 years - Full Descent into Avernus (unrecognizably homebrewed) - 5 years - Full Delta Green - 5 years - 2 seats open! Vampire the Masquerade - just starting! - 2 seats open! 🐉A note about D&D🔥🐲 I’ve been playing D&D for a very long time and have logged well over 2000 private games and 500 professional games. My D&D content is bespoke, carefully crafted, and always custom. I have the luxury to be very picky about who I play D&D with, and what I run when I do choose to. I am absolutely available to play D&D on StartPlaying, but only through private booking, ideally for an established group of four people who like my style and want to go in on a consistent weekly game. StartPlaying is my mechanism to help me play games that aren’t D&D, increasing my skill and flexibility as a DM. I hope you will consider joining me at the table for laughs, tears, tales, and some brutal action. Stay Miles Away from boredom!
