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.

Teacher
Stevie is a fantastic game master. He is warm, welcoming, and a great teacher. He was super prepared for the intro to Agon one shot, with an awesome PowerPoint that walked us through character creation and the mechanics. Stevie was always yes and-ing and ready to hype up the players! I would absolutely play with him again, and recommend his games to others. I felt safe and supported at his table at all times, and we stuck to the time schedule he laid out. In every way the one shot exceeded my expectations, thank you Stevie!
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.
