About me

I've been playing TTRPGs for just over a decade and have been GMing them for nearly as long. I have learned a lot in that time but of course there is always room for growth and improvement. I pride myself on my adaptive aproach, adjusting my style based on the system I am playing and the group I am with. I dabble in a bit of whatever I can get my hands on but I particularly enjoy games in sci-fi and horror settings and with an emphasis on exploration/investigation and tactical combat. Games I have experienced as a player: D&D (5th and1st editions), Pathfinder (1st and 2nd editions), Starfinder, Masks: A New Generation, MonsterHearts 2, Shadowrun 5e Games I have run as a GM: D&D (5th and 2nd editions), Pathfinder 2nd edition, Starfinder, Cyberpunk 2020/Red, Shadowrun (5e and Anarchy), FATE Core, Avatar Legends, Call of Cthulhu, Runequest, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Marvel Heroic Roleplaying, Cortex System

GM Style

I generally strive for a balance between combat, roleplay, and exploration, shifting my focus depending on what system is being played and the group that is playing. I enjoy presenting my players with challenges and rewarding creative means of overcoming them.

Great session zero. Set out a clear idea for the party on the do and do-nots for the campaign. He also encouraged us to have our characters be acquainted with each other.

He's very knowledgeable and open to new players. He's been my go to GM for many of my games for almost a decade IRL and couldn't be happier.

They've run multiple systems that I've had a blast with including D&D 5E, Shadowrun, & Marvel Multiverse. Every game they run is fun and leaves you wanting to play more. They take player safety seriously and can run any genre from lighthearted fun to serious horror. Whether you are a new player or a long time veteran you are in good hands.
