About me

Sean is a video creator, game designer, adventure author, actor, comedian, and professional game master who brings his passion for collaborative storytelling to a wide audience. His goal is to grow and diversify the tabletop gaming hobby by inspiring people to play for the first time, players to GM for the first time, and GMs to try new games for the first time! His games are story-driven, and always include three-dimensional characters complete with unique voices, powerful factions, dynamic conflicts, thrilling scenes of tension and suspense, and a dash of humor. Play a game with Sean if you want to unlock your inner storyteller and tell an unforgettable tale! He is available to book for public, drop-in/drop-out campaigns, one-shots, private campaigns, and one-on-one "campaign consultations" for GMs both amateur and professional! Feel free to direct message him for more information. Sean is an inclusive GM, and bigotry of any kind is not tolerated at his table. His games are LGBTQIA+ friendly, and open to players of all experience levels.

GM Style

Narrative-focused, including dynamic characters with believable motivations and fun voices! To me, roleplay is all about tense negotiations, tough choices, and exhilarating risks. My favorite game elements are faction play, intrigue, and interspersing pulse-pounding action with slice-of-life interludes!

One of my favorite story tellers ever! Sean slotted me into an ongoing game with ease and immediately made me feel like an important part of the action. And what action there was! Sean ran an amazing campaign of Blades in the Dark filled with action, adventure, and intrigue. He involved every player and rolled with every suggestion. I don't think the word "no" is in this man's vocabulary.

Sean has a taste for storytelling that is infectious. The kind of game master who gets so excited not only his writing but the stories being led by his players.

Very open & welcoming, knowledgable & responsive I am at the very beginning of DMing I did not feel small or judged for asking what I feel were pretty basic questions.

I've been playing with Sean for over 2 years now - he never fails to disappoint. I feel very fortunate to have his guidance as I begin to explore the daunting world of GMing. He is clearly so passionate and knowledgeable about his craft, and he has a lot of experience to inform his very useful advice. Beyond that, he is an excellent moderator for these types of sessions, ensuring everyone has time to speak and share their opinions.

We actually did a GM Tips and Tricks session. It was amazing. Not just for the information Sean provided, but the information exchange he facilitated. He seems to be a thoughtful and communicative GM.
