About me

Hello! I’ve been playing and running RPGs for the better part of 3 decades, professionally for 10. In that time I’ve introduced tabletop rpgs in kids’ programs (ages 8-13) and to adults of all ages. I love nothing more than bringing people into the hobby! I run an inclusive and respectful table that spans playstyles from a light, casual atmosphere to an immersive and deep experience. Over at www.thetabletopalmanac.wordpress.com you can read reviews I’ve done of a variety of games. Even if not listed on my profile, I’m available to run them all! While this would be a great full-time gig, I'm primarily doing this to put money in my daughter's college fund, so it's going to a good cause! (Should higher education exist in the future).

GM Style

The style of my games vary depending on the rules and dynamic at the table. Whether it’s a light, casual dungeon crawl, or a deeply immersive character-focused game, I enjoy them all and bring everything I have to foster a specific environment. I aim to foster an inclusive and safe atmosphere. All should feel welcome so long as the social contract of an accepting society is adhered to:)

Simon is great! He’s got a great playstyle and makes the entire experience very enjoyable. I was a bit of a luddite regarding playing online/virtually but Simon really did a great job makingbthe experience come to life.

Simon has been so great to work with! Friendly and more than reasonably accommodating. He knows old systems, new systems, middle years systems, you get the idea! He was incredibly patient over a couple weeks while I assembled some friends from around the country to play in a very long campaign that I’ve wanted to play in for 20 years. I recommend Simon to anyone looking to have a good time, in game
