About me
Hi there! Long time D&D and Call of Cthulhu player here who ran multiple online campaigns for friends throughout lockdown which then continued afterwards. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view), I'm currently without a group to DM so thought I'd offer out my services! I'm a schoolteacher by day, DM by night! I run sessions following the 5e rule set and have a homebrew world I've been playing with for a few years now that is itching to be explored by new and experienced players alike! Of course, I'm just as happy to run existing modules if people prefer. I've taught new players who range from 9 to 40+ years of age so am more than happy to have newcomers to the game who are a little nervous and looking for support as they try out a new hobby - hopefully, I'll be able to keep some of you involved in the game! And yes, I do like to do voices (some of the accents aren't even that bad!).
GM Style
I think my favourite games are always the ones that include a bit of everything. I like players to have chance to flex those combat muscles but also talk their way around a problem. Being a primary school teacher, I default to using voices for all my npc's though I absolutely don't expect players to follow suit(unless they want to!).

I have played one campaign and several one, two & three-shots with Phil as GM and each time I’ve been amazed by the depth of his imagination, his skill as a world-builder and how thoughtfully he involves his players in the multi-verses he creates. If you’re looking for a fully immersive experience with someone at the helm who can in turn guide you through the story and stand back and let you do your thing, Phil is the guy for you. Cannot recommend him highly enough.
Daniel Brookes
The way he built players into his world and games. My character's desires to join a guild led to mishaps and ultimately a pretty cool side quest!
Erusarn
Amazing DM with fantastic worlds built from scratch, patient and inclusive, knows the rules back to front - highly recommended!
Andrew Slater
Phil builds an amazing world that interconnects through multiple campaigns and one-shots. He's always open to collaborate on ideas you have as a player and will lead with the rule of cool. All players are made to feel welcome and safe during his games and you'll get hooked in his world after one session.
Chloe Coxley
I have played a number of campaigns with Phil as the GM and he is a master of imaginative story telling, character creation and role play (his range of regional accents alone is impressive!). He puts an immense amount of thought and care into building exciting adventures and worlds to explore. His enthusiasm has brought several newbies to the game (myself included) and sparked an enduring love of it within them.
