About me

Welcome to Old-school Tabletop! I'm a '90s BX/BECMI kid who took a detour through adulthood before rediscovering the magic of dice rolls and dungeon crawls. My journey began as a player but quickly evolved into DMing, guiding adventures through the realms of Rules Cyclopedia and AD&D 2e. Much later, In my professional career, I found myself planning and conducting exercises to evaluate companies' incident response. I quickly realized it was a form of GMing, which rekindled the spark of my passion for the hobby. This past year has been a deep dive into multiple systems, preparing my return to the GM's chair with a blend of old-school wisdom and modern techniques. My focus is on classic and modern OSR-style games across fantasy, sci-fi, and post-apocalyptic genres. I specialize in these systems: - xWN (Stars/Worlds/Cities/Ashes Without Number) - AD&D (1e, 2e, OSRIC) - BX/BECMI (Old School Essentials Classic & Advanced) - Beyond the Wall My style is immersive adventuring using a simple set of online tools, to provide a blend of engaging storytelling, fair rulings, and strong player agency. Our sessions leverage Discord for communication. I typically use Owlbear Rodeo as a lightweight VTT to enhancing the tabletop experience without overshadowing it. I've also been branching into Foundry for game systems that are well supported. Whether you're a seasoned grognard or new to OSR, join me in crafting unforgettable tales that capture the spirit of old-school roleplaying with a modern twist. Ready to roll some dice and forge legendary stories? Let's embark on an adventure together!

GM Style

I'm an old-school enthusiast with a modern twist, focusing on player agency and collaborative storytelling. My style emphasizes: - Engaging narratives across fantasy, sci-fi, and post-apocalyptic genres - A balance of exploration, roleplay, and strategic combat - Minimal but effective use of online tools to enhance the tabletop experience - Fair rulings and a "fiction first" approach, prioritizing creativity over rigid rule adherence - Adaptive gameplay that responds to player choices and shapes the world accordingly While I don't do character voices (yet!), I strive to bring NPCs to life through distinct personalities and motivations. My campaigns typically fall into one of three categories: 1. Open-world sandboxes: Entirely generative and player-driven, where your choices truly shape the world. 2. Classic module adventures: Pre-written scenarios that capture the essence of old-school gaming. 3. Learn-to-play experiences: Player-driven but with pre-defined elements to help newcomers grasp game mechanics. I welcome both seasoned grognards and OSR newcomers. My table is a safe space for learning and experimentation, where the Rule of Cool is always in consideration. Remember, it's YOUR game - I'm here to facilitate the adventure you want to have. Whether you're solving puzzles, navigating dungeon crawls, or forging alliances in bustling cities, your choices drive the narrative. No railroading here - just a sandbox of possibilities waiting for you to explore. So grab your dice, bring your imagination, and let's craft some legendary tales together!
