About me

Hey, there, I am a seasoned GM with a rich history dating back to the early '80s (the Satanic Panic era). With over 40+ years of experience, I've immersed myself in every role-playing genre as a player and a GM, honing my skills and gaining a deep understanding of the game. You can trust my seasoned expertise to guide you in your role-playing journey. My passion, my true love, lies in the art of storytelling within role-playing games. A compelling story must always include conflict, investigation, and problem-solving elements. Regardless of the system, it's a rare session that only incorporates these three core elements. Let my passion for storytelling inspire your narratives. While I often run Call of Cthulhu and Dungeons & Dragons 5e, my gaming history is a treasure trove of diverse experiences. I've played and owned a plethora of games in all genres, and I'm ready to accommodate your unique gaming preferences. Just ask, and I might have something special in store for you. Happy rolling!

GM Style

My GMing style is traditional yet flexible. I blend combat, investigation, and problem-solving to keep every session engaging. Roleplay is the heart of the game, making NPCs feel real and giving players a reason to care about the world and their place in it. I don’t get bogged down in the minutiae of rules—my philosophy is simple: "If nobody died, let’s keep the story moving. We’ll fix any mistakes next session." More than anything, I prioritize player agency and character growth. Your choices and character’s story matter, and the game evolves based on what you bring. Whether you love deep roleplay, strategic combat, or clever problem-solving, my goal is to ensure everyone has their moment to shine.
