About me

Gamer. Designer. Writer. Publisher. I follow a gamer-first philosophy. I love to play and create, and I only play and create what I love. My passion for tabletop roleplaying games knows no bounds. I started playing RPGs on Easter Weekend in 1980, and with over 43 years of gaming experience, I've played and mastered many games, far more than I can recount here. I have my favs, but there are still many I would love to explore.

GM Style

I run professional, fast-paced, high-risk, non-tactical, theater-of-the-mind, OSR-style roleplaying game campaigns. The goal is to offer continuous weekly campaign sessions you can count on. 🍺 For New Gamers: I will assist you during character creation, taking you step-by-step through the onboarding process and live session play. 🥃 For Serious Gamers: I have many years of experience running detailed, "sandbox-style," long-term campaigns. 🍸 For Classic Gamers: I run online games in Discord as I would around a real table. I utilize "theatre-of-the-mind" and a no slow-play tactical VTT. 🍻 For Active Gamers: I run multiple games on most days of the week. Live game sessions run for 3+ hours.
