About me

Making the Old School the new cool. Greetings TTRPG fans, my name is Kimo (Key-Mo), and I'm a forever GM/DM. I started playing TTRPGs way back in the '70s, and it saved my life in more ways than one – a compelling story I am happy to share with my players. I stopped playing in the mid-'90s, but now I'm back as a Gygaxian agent of the golden age of role-playing games. I specialize in Old School AD&D 1e, but I will happily run campaigns in 5e, as well as GM my favorites from the TSR collection, including Gamma World, Top Secret, Boot Hill, and Jeff Dee's Villains and Vigilantes.

GM Style

"What I bring to the gaming table: I am a witness to the evolution of table top role-play gaming, and with that comes experience and knowledge of the mechanics of TTRPGs and how to amalgamate the crunchy math bits with the dynamic storytelling and world-building parts in a seamless adventure arc. I run both pen-and-paper and virtual tabletop campaigns on Discord, Roll20, and D&D Beyond, Microsoft Teams, Google Meets, and Zoom. I use the Ultimate Dungeon Terrain system for combat, with miniatures. I have a degree in theatre and training in classical opera, with about 15 years of professional acting and singing under my belt. Yes, I have a flair for the dramatic, character voices, and setting creation. I also bring a level of professionalism and dedication to the craft that comes from my years of experience working in luxury retail, providing superlative attention to detail and exceptional service. I am dedicated to providing a safe and welcoming game table to have fun and enjoy the company of like-minded gaming enthusiasts. I create bespoke adventures catering to the tastes of my players, whether a modular or handcrafted campaign. Most of all, I'm flexible; however, I do like efficiency when it comes to gameplay, and I run a tight system around combat to keep it moving and exciting for everyone. Please reach out to start a conversation on how Game Master Kimo can make your next RPG campaign exciting and more than just memorable.
