About me
Stevie is a queer Professional Game Master with over 6 years of experience. Stevie enjoys facilitating groups through one-shots and short campaigns (3-12 sessions), depending on the system. Stevie has always had a deep love for telling stories, whether on page or stage. He brings that same energy to being a Game Master. Like many game masters, Stevie’s journey began with Dungeons and Dragons but diversified into many other games including, but not limited to Agon and Call of Cthulhu.
GM Style
What are Stevie’s values when it comes to facilitating games? Fun-forward Experience – Having fun (and that can look a lot of different ways), is an important part of the TTRPG experience. When facilitating games, Stevie makes an effort to follow the fun that the table is pursuing. A lot of the time this will look like “yes, and…” or “not, but…” to steer the experience in the direction of fun. Inclusive Narratives – It’s important to have diverse representation in our TTRPG narratives. In Stevie’s worlds, you’ll find diverse skin tones, a variety of sexual orientations and genders, abilities, and more. Assuming stereotypes to be true will often lead you astray. Respectful Engagement – While following the fun is important, being mindful of what everyone at the table is seeking is also very important. Stevie aims to make sure that everyone is having a satisfactory experience through safety practices such as X-cards, content theme disclosures, and an open table policy. For campaigns, Stevie provides a list of expected themes as well as what things will not be tolerated at the table.

Stevie is a great GM with lots of experience. He works hard to make people feel comfortable at the table and always has great LGBTQIA+ representation in his games. If you get the chance to play with him, I recommend you do so.
Luc Brien
Stevie is an amazing GM. He is patient and thoughtful with new players, and his stories are just so well-crafted. It's a pleasure to play at Stevie's table.

I am always in awe of Stevie's dedication and the amount of effort he put in the preparation of each session, carrying all the minis and the paraphernalia in order to bring an immersive and exciting world for the players to enjoy and participate in the storytelling. I feel respected in my gameplay and always had incredible fun in our sessions.
Grat GM
Stevie is enthusiastic, welcoming and cool to play with. He's got great ideas and puts in extra effort to make the table feel engaging and special.

Stevie is great. When I started a campaign with Stevie, I was relatively green at DnD, Stevie was very supportive and made time to catch up to finesse my character. Stevie provides a safe and inclusive environment for all players at the table. Before the campaign started we were all provided with information about the campaign setting and history. Story wise, there a great opportunities to utilise you spell book and some very tense moments as monster hit hard. Stevie also has a fantastic sense of humour and bounces off the vibe at the table creating some very memorable character moments.
