About me

I love the chance to craft experiences for and with my players. When we play, we create original situations and I value player expression and player choices in collaborative experience building. I've run games for children as well as adults and can adjust content on the fly for the comfort and fun of players. I'm also experienced with corporate clients and am happy to tailor a session to your company's needs. I truly love gaming with diverse groups and want roleplaying to be available to all. The games I offer provide opportunities for player skill to shine. Your creativity is not in "the build", it's in how you play. I believe in leaving consequences like injury and death on the table. Your choices and reactions to situations beyond your control and use of the tools you have in the moment are what really count. If you want to challenge yourself as a player by playing imperfect characters, doing dangerous things and snatching victory from the maw of doom, we should talk.


GM style

I love role play and the act of creating a story together. I love bringing the world to life for my players through voices, descriptions, and honoring player agency. I want you to feel like a hero. I want you to have epic moments and nail bitingly tense battles. I want you to have a blast. I also like a good laugh and will reward you cracking me up. I can do theatre of the mind, or virtual tabletops. If "rule of cool", narrative forward play sounds good to you, then I am happy to engage with you in making that happen. I tailor my style to the group and I can play nice, or hardball, depending on what will give you, the player, a good time at the table. I trust you to give me some narrative hooks to work with and will make use of them.
