I'm here to deliver extraordinary games that raise the bar for adventure quality. ๐ŸŽฒ ๐’๐ก๐š๐ฉ๐ž ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ƒ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฒ Your story is yours to create.

Iโ€™m committed to creating fantasy worlds that are understood by players and do not feel wacky, ridiculous, or non-immersive. The more players understand how a fantasy world works, the easier it is to immerse themselves in it. ๐Ÿ”น ๐‰๐จ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐€๐๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ž You donโ€™t have to take my word for it.

GM Style

๐Ÿ”น Balance and Fairness I'm a strong advocate for balance and fairness in my games. Whether you're new or experienced, focused on roleplay or combat, a powergamer or not, your character should contribute to the game as much as anyone else. This balance is achieved through the addition of homebrew elements, tweaks or removal of official rules, meticulous study, and a wealth of experience. ๐Ÿ”น Rule of Cool Epic moments that linger in memory are what I aim for, but I believe the Rule of Cool should be used sparingly. Overuse can diminish its impact, making those truly memorable moments feel less special. ๐Ÿ”น Freedom I won't push you in a specific direction unless the group asks for it. I prefer a regional sandbox style, where players are free to explore a region filled with more content than they can uncover. ๐Ÿ”น Meaningful Choices and Dilemmas I enjoy crafting challenges with no obvious right answer or where multiple answers could be right. Your actions will have consequences, affecting your group, NPCs, and even the world itself. ๐Ÿ”น Fantasy Realism Though "fantasy realism" may seem contradictory, it captures what I strive for. Game elements will always be present, but my focus is on blending them seamlessly with the fantasy, ensuring players never think, "This doesn't make sense."
