About me

I’ve been playing TTRPGs since middle school with whoever I could rope into it! This continued through my military career until I finally got to settle down and now I’m consistently running games for my friends and family. I’m huge fan of both role play and tactical combat, seeing a combination of the two as the most satisfying way to explore your character.

GM Style

I'm here to craft a game that's catered to you, I've ran games that are nearly all combat and other games where I never bring out the minis. I'm happiest when my players are engaged and enjoying their time at the table. I tend to run games where the players are the heroes (or villians) of the story and the world recognizes that.

A friendly, laid-back GM, Connor is patient with his players' shenanigans (he was truly understanding with my talktavive gnome charlatan, even though the Gods only know she could be trying in ll possible ways ! lol). Nevertheless he's also very confident with the rules and... wait for this: He RULES with his minis ! This was a welcome addition to visual aids, and shows how dedicated and prepared he is (he even was adding pieces of terrain as my character was stepping away from the combat scene !). All in all, a true GM and a definite recommend. p.s: his One-Shots are a MUST for anyone interested in the Adventurers' League scenarios.

Connor really cares about players enjoying the session and being successful in the adventure. He is open to letting the players experiment and explore. And he uses real terrain and real minis, which really helps bring the encounters alive!

This was my first time playing D&D and Conor was an amazing first DM! He was very helpful, made the game so easy and fun, probably the most fun I've ever had playing a TTRPG. If you're new to D&D and don't know where to start, I definitely recommend to join up one of Conor's games! Also his live board is pretty legit too!

I'm a new player and he made me feel very welcome and answered all of my questions in a way that I really understood. I loved his use of online mapping as well as real world terrain and miniatures, really made it feel like I was at a table with friends. Would definitely recommend

Connor is very creative and is great at reacting to player ideas and going with the flow. IF the player does something unexcepted that works or is cool, it is rewarded and Connor will adjust the game to accommodate and reward out of the box thinking and fun play. Great DM! He knows the rules and is great for players of any experience. Highly recommend!!!
