About me

GM with 30+ years experience wants to roll dice with you! New gamers and veterans welcome! Well-versed in dozens of systems. (Ask about Red Markets, MERP, 7th Sea, Blue Planet, Eclipse Phase, Rolemaster, and a double-handful of PbtA titles! Just to name a few!) Background in education and theatre means I'm detail-oriented, used to explaining things, and entertaining to hang out with! Award-winning storyteller! One-shots, adventures, and campaigns upon request! Game On! Note: Nazis, racists, sexists, transphobes, homophobes, and other bigots are explicitly prohibited from playing, reading, watching, or enjoying my games. In fact, I'd rather you avoided my games altogether. If you have to ask whether this statement is about you, it is.

GM Style

I love roleplaying and making memorable stories. I love player agency, and I'll be asking you a lot of questions! I love creative failures, good (and bad!) player choices, redemption arcs, and finding out things I didn't know.

Great GM that got me out of my comfort zone easily and made me have the most fun I had in a while in the first session. Definitely recommend Owen.

Owen's adventures are well thought out, fun, and challenging. He does a great job of getting you into the story. Best of all he is always prepared and ready for a full session of adventure. You can tell that he cares about the game and those who play with him. I don't know how much effort he puts in behind the scenes but it must be a lot because it shows in his product. Owen is a fantastic GM. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a solid GM.

Owen is a great story teller. His knowledge of the Dungeon world system has been superb. I have never played this system before, but now with him I feel like an old pro.

Great story telling, knowledgeable with rules, a few to many people in one session but still handled well.

Roleplaying was excellent. Loved the casualness because I prefer it over super serious games. Enjoyed hearing about peoples' cats. Everyone got a turn to participate - Owen made sure of that - and we were an 8 player group in a 4 hour session. Owen used the Dungeon World system that I found more liberating than DND 5e because it allows Role Players to truly shine. https://www.dungeonworldsrd.com/ Owen was diligent. He made sure we all had our character sheets and bonds properly done.

My group and I are seasoned players (decades of experience) and we have a fairly particular style of game we wanted to play. Owen took significant time and effort to craft our experience to what we had hoped for. His world is engaging and unique. His style is straightforward, easy to engage with, welcoming and immersive. Owen comes prepared, never seems flustered and is a very friendly guy. Hard to rate our experience as anything less than excellent.
