About me

Hi gamer, call me Tim! I've been running and playing games since 1981, at home, online, and at conventions. I enjoy bringing a world to life, and get a thrill when a player pull their jacket back on when their character is cold. My players say, they love to hate my villains. I enjoy running monsters that act according to their motivations and intellect. Goading the ogre into putting themselves in danger might be easy, but take more care when dealing with dragons! I've got a good head for math, and can play the game “in 3-D” when the players wish. My NPC's have distinct voices, even if their accents sometimes wobble a bit. My players are often convinced they're headed for a TPK before they pull it out at the last minute. I usually run a serious campaign with some comic relief, but I'll happily run gritty combat-as-war campaign or a goofy romp.

GM Style

I enjoy tweaking my style to suit the table. By default: I do serious games with comic relief. Character voices. Villains you'll hate or half-admire. Monsters that use tactics according to their intelligence and motivations — beware cunning dragons, they're more dangerous than dinosaurs of equal power.
