About me

My first actual around-table high fantasy tabletop game was Pathfinder back in 2017. I joined in their already-running campaign as a human Universalist Wizard at level 8, which turned out to be a massive learning curve when I'd never touched a d20 before that. I started playing in-person D&D 3.5 sessions after that with some people of the same group, and actually read the Player's Handbook before my first game as a player. Then the Spell Compendium after. Then the 5e Player's Handbook before I showed up to a new 5e campaign as a player. And then the 3.5e Monster Manual, and the 3.5 DMG, and realized that I had, oops, read too much to just be a player anymore. I started my first 3.5 campaign back in (checks discord) 2018 turns out, and that campaign is still running today. Another in 2023, still to today. I figure: Why not keep doing what I so clearly enjoy?

GM Style

I enjoy Roleplay. That sounds shallow, I know. But hear this: With merest words and conjured tones, moods and sentiments of purest fiction and faintest reality, the tears and smiles evoked are no less genuine, and memories fonder for their purity of imagination. Am I good with Character Voices? Not really, but I've a few at least and can learn more still. 'Crunchy' tactical combat? That entirely depends the party and the enemies involved in that combat. Rabies'd goblinoids ain't exactly tactical geniuses. Dragons with kobold trapmakers in their long-held layers though... Besides that, I have a very simple rule of: I don't care if it's a URL even, Cite your stuff and it's far more likely to be approved or modified to approval. Why? Because, to me at least, these are collaborative storytelling games. I'm a player at the table too, and I want cool and memorable stuff to happen as well. I'm going to make sure choices have meaning, that characters have places feel like people too, that the players can be invested in the fates of their characters like I am. And like many things in the books: Challenge Rating is a guideline.
