About me
I found my first Players Handbook under the Xmas tree long before they started numbering the various editions of any of these games, and have been playing ever since. I started DMing regularly for family and friends ten years ago, and soon branched out to offering games online, first as a side hustle and then as a full-time occupation. I like to explore every pillar of game play and have a particular liking for mysteries and puzzles, but I certainly know when it's time to roll dice and crunch monsters as well.
GM Style
I try to ensure that all three pillars of game play (role play, exploration, combat) are represented in each game session, while tailoring the emphasis of each of these to the specific preferences of the players. I personally favor a tilt towards the role play/puzzle solving end of the spectrum, but do know to when it's time to roll dice and crunch monsters.

Craig is fun, knowledgeable, flexible, and a really good sport. He has the sort of relaxed but effective approached to DMing that comes from having done it well for quite a while. It's also clear from talking with him that he holds what his players want high on his list of priorities.

I've been playing with Craig for over 2 years now and am definitely not looking anywhere else for a GM right now. He does a great job at running a fun games, trying to balance combat world building and role play. He's super flexible and letting our party go where we will but bringing it all back around into a cohesive storyline. Definitely would recommend!

Craig is a great DM and I had a good time with him on a 8 month long campaign.
