About me
I’m a military veteran (a long time ago), a father of several wonderful children, and an amateur mythologist, poet, and philosopher. I've been playing and running games for 42 years, a partial list of which is on my home page. I’m here to run games, and make that as easy and fulfilling as possible. Wanna see what I bring to the table? https://www.ofgodsandgamemasters.com/ and https://www.youtube.com/@OfGodsandGamemasters for my written work, my voice work, and my actual plays. I can run nearly any game, and that flexibility and wide knowledge improves all my games. I build deep, intense, and well-realized worlds, but my games and stories are player and player character driven and focused. I'll be glad to work with your table to create a custom setting and adventures that are absolutely bespoke and tailored to you!
GM Style
I love deep RP, do a lot of voices and accents, and prefer theater of the mind with deep description, but am competent with vtts. In some cases I can really enjoy tactical combat if that's what the whole group is there for. I like deep, player and PC focused narratives that emerge primarily from player choices, but I also tend to build deep, intense, and thematically focused settings for play. Book me for a different experience than the published modules in whatever system you play.
