About me

I have been playing and running TTRPG's since 1984. It all started with D&D but I have run many other systems since then. Since April of 2020 I have been using Roll20 to run games for my regular group. I have been running modules but this is not what I normally run. I am a world builder so I tend to run homebrew worlds and settings and my smaller games, 3-4 players, focus on player stories with an overarching world plot. Larger games with 5-10 players focus more on the plot with party dynamics taking up more time, depending on the group. The Largest game I have run was a 10 player game using Dungeon World as the system, the party had been trapped and cursed to a box which they could not be too far from and had been dimensionally transported to a planet they would learn was a "prison" for Gods and God-like beings. I am currently building a couple of worlds. I also run campaign modules for 5E. The games I would run would be using D&D5E, Roll20 and Discord.

GM Style

I have run a few modules in D&D5E which my players have enjoyed. I tend to run games which quickly ramp up into epic world threatening storylines, but I value roleplaying most of all. My NPC's also tend to have individual accent, voice and syntax. I do respect the rules of the system I am using and have used many systems over my life, even helped to create a couple for personal use. My current system is D&D5E and Roll20 using Discord for voice communication. But other games can be negotiated.

It is very detailed and in depth ,GM gets in character very well and has fun with it. He is a great storyteller, asks for input from players to make the gsme more fun for any play style. He even does different voices for different characters. He is a GM who roots the players, and will let you know if you're heading toward a TPK gently.

Kevin walked me through the character creation and encouraged me to play the class I wanted, with a backstory tied to the adventure. He is patient and fun, recognizing players are there to have a fun time. Highly recommend

Great dungeon master that knows the modules and the rules. Great creativity and very safe for beginnings or veterans.

Soren has been our Storyteller for nearly 20 years. His worlds are vibrant, and he has a great talent for description. One of the interesting things about his worlds is that they are living, things will change and grow without the players' intervention.

Great NPCs and villains. He does phenomenal voices and roleplaying as well. Storylines are full of drama and intrigue as well as some great dungeon design (try exploring a dungeon inside a moving Rubix cube). I've been playing with him for twenty years and never looked back.
