In 1981 the age of 11 with 1e D&D. Got hooked which led to other TTG's like Top Secret, Star Frontiers, Marvel Super Heroes, Gamma World, everything made by Steve Jackson, Paranoia, Villians & Vigilantes and the list went on.

The Dragonlance series had a profound impact on me, but it was Nuromancer, by William Gibson, that changed my life and inspired me toward a career path. Watership Down was the first novel I ever picked up was the first time I felt the need for a story to not end.

As I have grown older, I lost touch with what it was like to be creative again. Resuming the GM path recently has made me realize what is important to me. There are important needs to tell stories and to participate in something that lifts us spirtually. This is my path in the world.

Story telling is at the heart of every adventure I run and it is my primary goal to make the players believe that are a part of one, regardless if it is a one-shot or campaign. I enjoy working with players to ensure they feel like their character is a part of the world they are in.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, with a bit of Denis Villeneuve and 
Steven Soderbergh thrown in for good measure.

Intention:
1) Provide balance to the game overall to ensure challanges and choices have rewards and concequences. 

2) Allow players feel they are progressing to something and are growing.

Not inteded:

1) to be obsessed over and married to, especially if it gets in the way of fun.

Develops an interesting background for their characters and wants to explore it during a campaign.

If you are into story telling and exploring, you're going to love my table.

Nit pick over every inch of of the rule book.

They see the GM as the challange they are facing. 

The GM is your vessel, not your apponent. The world you are in speaks through me FOR you.

A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!

Dungeon Crawl

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

I have been playing and DMing since v1e back in the 80's. My specialty is game flow and keeping an enteratining and exciting story moving forward and fluid. I try to keep a strong balance in game between role-playing and game rules to help appeal to most players. Every game session is a story of which the player both inhabit and also drive forward and steer.
