About me

It's your friendly neighbourhood Canadian GM here! My name is Seth, and I'm a Math Teacher who's run a Dungeons & Dragons club at my school for 4 years, DM'd for about 8 years, and am very passionate about the game. I'm also in a local recurring Dungeons & Drag Queens campaign where I perform in Drag and do a liveplay event as a player! Very queer-friendly, I particularly cater to roleplay-focused groups who want to have a good time and tell a cool story together. The rules are there to guide you towards a fun time, but I'm a big believer in Yes-And-ing players to make a more exciting game where players feel in control of their narrative. I'm happy to help those who aren't used to the game - especially if you're trying a system you've never tried before. I am currently obsessed with running one-shot Call of Cthulhu games, and have several campaigns I've written for 5th edition D&D. I've also dabbled in Changeling the Lost and Star Wars, and love exploring new systems. This summer since I won't be teaching so I wanted to hone my skills GMing for people online! Come have a great time!

GM Style

My style is very roleplay-focused. I love to weave character details into my campaigns to give more weight to player's choices and make them connected to the world. I am somewhat rules-light in that I sometimes will bend the rules to tell a more compelling story. My highest priority is that everyone at the table is having a great time. If my party wants gritty combat, I can give them that. If they want heartfelt moments and emotional stakes, I can give them that. I'm flexible and eager to bring an awesome experience for every party!
