About me

Hi, I'm James! I've been playing TTRPGs since 2018 and GMing since 2020. As an official Game Master with Kobold Press for Tales of the Valiant, I specialize in creating immersive, narrative-driven campaigns and custom one-shots tailored to your group's style. I’m also part of the Kobold Creates program, working with Kobold Press to release partnered content on my YouTube channel. Want a preview of my GMing style? Check out my one shots over on YouTube, RPG Familiar.

GM Style

I enjoy GMing unpredictable plot twists, engaging roleplay, and creative combat. I love weaving surprises into the story that challenge players' expectations and keep things exciting. Roleplay is a big focus for me, encouraging deep character interactions and meaningful choices. When it comes to combat, I prefer dynamic encounters that go beyond simple battles—where players can use strategy, the environment, and creativity to turn the tide. I'm adaptable to all types of gameplay, and whether you enjoy tactical challenges, rich storytelling, or something in between, I’m ready to shape the adventure to suit your group's style.
