About me

I've been DMing for almost two decades now, having started in high school with no core rulebook and a bunch of handwritten rules that I could glean. That was the moment, in retrospect, that I was fated to become a DM. I've been running professional games in-person through a local company, but now I am starting to delve into the virtual DMing world. In fantasy games, I will most often use my homebrew setting of Sholla, which is heavily inspired by the films of Studio Ghibli as well as a steampunk-adjacent aesthetic. I have yet to delve into sci-fi games but I am hoping to develop one soon! Modern games are rarer but I have run Monsters of the Week in the past.


GM style

I am a firm believer in the collaborative storytelling element of tabletop games. I usually have a plot loosely written out, but more often I develop things via the characters in play, sometimes having nothing planned but letting them roleplay. Then I will improvise from there!
