About me
SUIT UP, LANCERS! IT'S TIME TO GET IN THE ROBOT! I am an Asian American indie comic artist and game developer who has been running games of various systems since I was a teen. It was only at the age of 19 when I became a forever DM that I found a deep love for the storytelling position behind the screen. Now in my late 20's (27 as of writing this about section), I have gotten more people addicted to 5e D&D than I would like to admit. As far as game systems go, I have been playing D&D since the 3.5e as a player, but now dabble in various systems. I have also ran other games such as the USR system (for people who want the D&D experience but find the world's greatest RPG too daunting to tackle), Little Fears: Nightmare Edition (a decent horror game with the right people), Digital Shades (a rules lite Cyberpunk RPG), among other small named indie RPGs. Now I'm all Lancer all the time! Whether it be Low Fantasy, High Fantasy, Space Operas, Cyberpunk, Steampunk, Arcanapunk, Ages of Savagery, or Post-Apocalyptic, I will run it. So join me on the cosmic stage while we can spin epic sagas together and make your gaming experience memorable.
GM Style
My games tend to be very roleplay centric with combat encounters that can be bypassed with the right solutions. Character voices are a must for me. Every NPC will have a character voice. Combat is also kept loose and snappy to keep the game from coming to a grind. Rule of cool is also in effect, meaning if it sounds awesome and you're willing to risk rolling dice for it, I'll allow it. We are all here to tell epic stories and have fun, after all. Session 0 (the session used for making characters and discussing the game before we play the main campaign) will have a small adventure at the end if time (and general player scheduling) allows for gameplay. If you are new to D&D let me know so I can allot extra time during the game to teach you the basics of the game for no additional cost. If you're looking for a GM who will weave epic myths and legends surrounding your characters, I'm the one to call. I also run "USR Sword & Sorcery" games for those who still want that D&D experience, but are intimidated by the thick rulebooks, numerous sourcebooks, and daunting (at first) learning curve.

Zenny is just bursting at the seams with story ideas and he's so good at making you feel like you're an important part of them! Highly recommended if you like interesting and diverse NPC's and worlds full of things to explore!

Sensei helped me turned my half assed meme character into an awesome story point in my first ever campaign. He even helped me learn how to play. Also going as far as to make sure that EVERYONE's character had a place in the plot. 10/10 DM.
Undead Sin
This dm introduced me to the world of dnd he helped me gain my confidence as a player. my fav moment was when i found out i was a war god from the past and i got to meet my followers and formed a military with them to take over city's.
Tea Drinking Turret
They were my very first introduction to D&D, and I could not have asked for a better DM, their story telling is vibrant, descriptive and interesting, they are willing to roll with player ideas [e.g. if you think of an alternative spell/item usage that isn't expressly forbidden in it's description] they will allow you to play out the idea. Even if your idea goes against their original plans, they will work around it. They also give ample time to each player's story and work to ensure each player's goals for their characters are met in a way that works for the whole party. I would have likely not started D&D without them, I have many fond memories of the campaign I played with them, and I have never stopped playing because of them.
The Mountain Man
Cosmic Sensei is the DM who first got me into D&D, and most of my first games/characters happened at his table; of which he fosters a very welcoming table, encourages you to think outside the box, and helps you learn both the rules and the feel of ttrpgs. Highly recommend him.
