About me
I'm a theatre of the mind DM of over 10 years with experience in DnD 3.5, 4, and 5th Editions. I also run FFG Star Wars! I strive to make sure player Safety and comfort are at the forefront of every game, with the Rule of Cool being one of my favorite ways to DM. My games are very newbie friendly and I tend to focus on roleplay and narrative with character arcs and character driven stories. That said, I will work to accommodate any and all player types, so long as you don't make anyone at the table uncomfortable or anything like that. My ultimate goal is to help you and the rest of the table have fun creating a story with and for each other!
GM Style
I am a roleplayer through and through! I do my best to immerse my players into the world around them through narration, description, character voices, improv, and acting. At my table, you will be treated as an equal and will be encouraged to create and tell the stories that *you* want to tell with the characters *you* want to bring to life! I will work with you from the start to make sure you feel comfortable and have fun at my table, no matter how experienced you may or may not be! I will always take steps to ensure you are safe at my table.

The Session Zero was great and Tal listened to all of our ideas. I'm stoked to play the campaign.

I recently played Essence 20 Power Rangers with Taldoz and overall, I had a decent experience. One thing I appreciated about Taldoz was their dedication to capturing the feel of the Power Rangers universe. From the character creation process to the exciting action scenes, it was clear that they put a lot of thought and effort into crafting a game that was true to the source material. Overall, I would recommend Taldoz as a GM for Essence 20 Power Rangers. They clearly have a passion for the game and a deep knowledge of the source material, which made for a fun and engaging experience. Thanks for a great game, Taldoz.

Taldoz is a fun storyteller who brings a compelling story and gives each player a chance to shine. In terms of running the Power Rangers RPG, he brings his knowledge of the lore but also makes it fun for people regardless of lore knowledge.

Did a great job helping us learn D&D in our first campaign. Was always encouraging us to be creative and played very well off whatever we threw at him. Very fun voices for NPCs, made some memorable allies and enemies.

Taldoz knows the characters and motivations of those NPCs front and back. He does an excellent job with granting the players the space to try their own ideas and have fun doing so. Taldoz knows the rules for the games he's running and doesn't get bogged down nit-picking on them. The story he puts together is convincing, entertaining, and you'll hardly remember that you're in a game of make believe! I played Star Wars RPG with Taldoz and I would do it again, over and over. He's a phenomenal story teller. He reads the table well and uses great story beats to keep the adventure flowing and engaging. Can't recommend him enough for your games.
Dax
Taldoz's games always make you feel involved in some way - either he brings in a piece of your backstory or he hooks you in a way your character would totally buy into. It's not just about going along with it because of the sandbox rules. His flair for impressions and worldbuilding make you feel truly immersed. Always allows for player creativity too.
