About me

Hey y'all 👋 My names Pat and I've been a DM for 7 years I'm a big history and mythology dork who grew up on Percy Jackson and more recently enjoyed the poetic/prose Eddas and Epic the musical. I bring those inspirations with me into my games. Was a wrestler growing up so I've got a big passion for fitness and martial arts that always motivate me and will get be yapping for too long. i'll leave at this for now and just say id love to see ya at the next session, and may the dice god's favor you My games are a safe place for all. Don't bring that hateful shit to my table.

GM Style

Mythic adventures that put your character in the foreground of the world. You're not the hero of the story by random chance or convince. It's because either from your own will or that of the fates themselves you are central to what happens in the story. My games lean a little on the goofy side and I'll try and get a couple good laughs each session but when the time calls for it games can get emotional, and I will treat epic or sad moments with the gravitas they deserve. I use a lot of voices through the games and really try to roleplay with feeling. The NPC's you meet have their own hopes and fears and I do my best to make the world feel immersive. -oh and I love homebrew and cool magic items/boons, so if 20 sessions in you don't have a cool Item/ability tailored to your character may Zeus smite me

I had a lot of fun playing in their one-shot. Enjoyed their narration and collaboration with other players. At no point did I feel like I was against the DM.

Patrick allowed us to push the boundaries with our characters, tell our stories, gave us room for flair, and all around gave me a wonderful time! His monsters were challenging but not insurmountable, the ending was satisfying and funny, and I loved this one shot!
