I got started GMing...
during the pandemic, when online games became a lifeline for connection and creativity. What began as a one-shot quickly spiraled into full campaigns, deep character arcs, and a realization: I love weaving stories that players help build.
My favorite shows/movies are
Hannibal (NBC), Pacific Rim, Attack on Titan, and Moon Knight. I love stories that blend psychological tension, larger-than-life stakes, and characters caught between monstrous power and fragile humanity.
People are always surprised when I tell them
I’ve never played a TTRPG in person. Every game I’ve run or played has been online but that hasn’t stopped me from building deep, emotional stories, dynamic player connections, and unforgettable moments.
How Moses runs games
🌟 More Than a Game: A Shared Journey Each session feels like a cinematic episode: rich in emotion, full of drama, and packed with unforgettable character moments and twists you'll talk about for weeks. 🗣️ Deep Roleplay & Distinct Character Voices Love roleplay? You’re in the right place. I bring vibrant NPCs to life with unique voices and personalities, and I create space for your character to grow, break, love, rage, and shine. 📖 Story-First, Player-Focused With a Ph.D. in English and years of storytelling experience, I build narratives where your choices matter, your backstory weaves into the world, and the plot responds to what you do—not just the dice. ⚔️ Crunchy, Tactical Combat That Matters Do you enjoy strategy and clever teamwork? So do I. My combat encounters are smart, cinematic, and designed to challenge without dragging. Every fight tells a story and rewards creative problem-solving. 🎲 Tailored Experiences for All Players Whether it’s your first roll or your five-hundredth, I’ll meet you where you are. I love teaching new players and giving veterans the freedom to dig deep into character or system mastery. 🏳️🌈 Safe, Inclusive, and Actively Welcoming This table celebrates queer, POC, and neurodivergent players. We use consent tools and open communication to make sure everyone feels seen, heard, and safe. 📬 Play Between Sessions Want more story? Free play-by-post options let you explore character arcs, NPC bonds, and world lore between sessions.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...
Guillermo del Toro for the haunting beauty, Jordan Peele for the tension and subtext, and Taika Waititi for those perfectly timed gut-punches wrapped in humor.
My games focus on...
on immersive storytelling, emotionally rich characters, and collaborative worldbuilding. Whether it’s tense roleplay, cinematic combat, or unexpected choices, the goal is always the same: make it matter.
Rules are...
flexible, until they're not. Just make sure you know when you're bending them and when they're bending you.
Moses's ideal table
My table is friendly, inclusive, and built on trust—we laugh a lot, roleplay even more, and keep things flexible so everyone can shine. Whether you're a shy newbie or a seasoned dice goblin, there's space for you here. Expect a mix of irreverent side banter, deep character moments, and cinematic scenes that swing from funny to gut-wrenching without missing a beat. We prioritize story and connection over rules lawyering, and I love players who are curious, emotionally invested, and down to collaborate. If you enjoy messy characters, dramatic reveals, a bit of weirdness, and a safe space to explore intense or vulnerable moments, you'll fit right in.

I think it's a red flag when players...
treat the game like it’s them vs. the party or GM. If you’re not here to collaborate, connect, and build something together, you’re in the wrong tavern.
I think metagaming...
happens. It's human nature to connect dots, but it works best when players pause and ask, “What would my character actually know or do here?" I always encourage checking in with me if you're unsure. It keeps the story grounded in character perspective while still honoring player curiosity.
My table is not the place for...
players who hide behind "it's what my character would do" to excuse disruptive behavior, gamers who aren't also invested in roleplay and story, or anyone bringing bigotry to the table. We're here to build something meaningful together with drama, laughs, and a lot of heart.
