About me

Playing since 1986 during 5th Grade recess and haven't looked back! I enjoy watching the stories grow and have many fond memories from decades of playing. For me, the journey of discovery is what makes roleplaying such a rewarding hobby!

GM Style

I love Theater of the Mind! Moving pieces on a map can be an aid, but I don't want it to be a crutch. I am 100% behind the Rule of Cool. If it sounds fun and amazing, let's do it!

From what I read of Dragonbane, I knew it would be tough and it has certainly been dangerous as expected. I've play a couple of one-shots so far and now playing short multi session campaign called Creeping Darkness. I am not sure how we haven't lost anyone yet after 2 sessions. Every encounter can be dangerous but Sir Beef does a great job balancing that level of danger with giving the party and individuals options to survive and help each other. Still, survival is not guaranteed and i know if someone makes a big enough mistake OR the dice just roll badly enough, he will respond as he should and make us pay :-).

I really enjoyed the game with Brandon. He did a great job encouraging every player in the game. He is also one of the few GMs offering ToR2e and a bunch of other game systems.

Had a great, atmospheric Vaesen one shot. He was very beginner friendly and let the group roleplay their interactions. Also let a player pull off a very dramatic end of the game.

Our session together was 10/10. Brandon has a strong sense of group storytelling; with the right group, this led to absolutely cinematic moments. He used Foundry to crank our immersion up with layered soundtracks, ambient effects, perspective shots of what our characters would see in each room, & much more. It all led to a very engaging session that unfolded like a science fiction movie. The group had some players new to the system we used (Mothership) -- Brandon was able to teach the rules while still keeping the game moving. Pacing was killer. If you're looking to try out a game like Mothership, this is an excellent first-time experience.

Very good DM overall, but really shines in the storytelling category! Just finished the best one-shot game that I've ever had the pleasure of playing. Would ABSOLUTELY recommend and will definitely be trying to join up with him in future games!
