About me
Hi there! I am a Games Master with nearly a decade's worth of experience and have run a number of games in D&D, SWFFG, Starfinder, Lancer, Basic Fantasy, Pokemon Tabletop United, Pathfinder 2e, Blades in the Dark, Forbidden Lands, City of Mist... quite a few. This hobby has somewhat taken over my life: be it my fortnightly game that has been running for 8 years, various one-shots and mini-campaigns, play-by-post experiments, artwork, books... I'm rather enthusiastic. I use Foundry VTT's many bells and whistles to bring life to all of these fantastic games.
GM Style
I like to see the rules as a launch-pad for creativity - allowing for Rule-of-Cool, Rules-as-Interpreted, and creative resolutions. I'm passionate, friendly, accommodating, and patient. One of my favourite elements of storytelling is the characters, and I like each and every one of my players to feel like the protagonist of the story. You will each get a moment to shine, an arc to follow, and a fulfilling resolution to your story. I am a quick-thinker, and can adapt to most situations thrown at me by the players, and yet prepare myself for the paths clearly set ahead by the players and the story.

Absolutely amazing GM. Knows his prepped material but also easily adapts when we (inevitably) go off the rails. Amazing ambiance and scene setting both auditory and visual. Funny as hell and easily draws you in and manages the tone when things are serious.

In the pbp pf2e game I'm in, Reece has the perfect balance between being laid-back and funny, and being 'professional'. He makes sure everyone knows what they're doing (in-game and on the pratical side), and then he lets things happen the way the players decide, only and seemlessly bringing in the next part of the story when all is settled. Thanks to Reece (and some good fellow players), it feels like we are writing a cute little story, even if it's a pre-written adventure.
