About me
I've been fascinated by TTRPGs ever since a few friends had me join their table. The first game I played was a Homebrew world with Pathfinder rules, and I couldn't get over the sense of freedom and community I felt when we played; I was immediately hooked. In hindsight, that first game was pretty terrible, but it's ultimately what led me to start running games myself. My GM journey began with the very clunky Star Wars: The Role-playing Game. The system itself was not ideal, but I was able to gather my friends once a week and enjoyed crafting new stories for them. Now, I've been running games off and on for well over a decade for players from all over the world. While I was working as a contractor out of an air base in Japan, I managed to meet a hub of players and we created a small community. In that time, I built a modest collection of games based on franchises I enjoy. I've had a great variety of different players in my games over the years and am used to many differences in player styles. It has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.

GM Style
My games are usually very narrative-heavy with intriguing plots and deep lore. I usually lean toward franchise-based games and do extensive research on the in-game worlds to try to deliver the most immersive experience I can. Most of my games follow a "Natural Consequence of Your Actions" style of play and are very much player-driven. All my games are new-player friendly. I've personally introduced a half-dozen people to this hobby and have a lot of experience guiding players through the learning curves. TTRPGs have become a huge part of my life, and as someone with ADHD, perfecting my games is a constant obsession. When I find a system or universe I like, I will learn every piece of lore available, and work hard to provide a game that feels authentic to that franchise's unique qualities. If you're looking for detailed, narrative-focused games with a lot of lore and world-building, or really want to get immersed in your favorite franchise worlds, you've found the right place!
