About me

Hi there, I'm Andrew! I've been playing TTRPGs for about 10 years now, and I have experience playing and GMing a wide variety of games, settings and tones. I love teaching people about new games, and I look forward to seeing you at the table! If you want to see a bit more of my stuff, I do run a YouTube channel called ThatGamerAjax that has a few actual play one shots as well.

GM Style

I love facilitating great roleplay moments, and while my character voices aren't the best I do try to make characters unique from one another. Depending on the game, I try to do a blend of roleplay, exploration and combat per session. When the combat breaks out, my goal is to make players feel as awesome as possible with enough challenge to keep it interesting. Above all, I want to create a fun and interesting world with the input of my players, and craft the story around their actions.

Played 1 sessions

I really enjoyed his monster of the week one shot. He was fairly new to the system, but he clearly had done his homework. He was really good explaining the rules to everyone. It was fun would play again.

Ajax has a great sense of direction and pacing while giving players room to set the course of their adventure. He's receptive of player input and incredibly approachable in or out of a session. Above all, he makes fun and comfort a priority for everyone at the table!

I've played multiple different games with Andrew, including some for the first time for both him as a GM and me as a player, and he nails the line between respecting the rules and encouraging everyone to have fun in a safe way. His enthusiasm for new games and systems is unmatched and was a big factor in me getting deeper into this hobby!

Andrew is an amazing storyteller who really puts effort and care into crafting his stories, listening to his players, and ensuring a fulfilling and entertaining experience no matter what you bring to his table. His NPCs are memorable and evocative, and I was captivated and invested for the entire time I got to spend in the game he ran for me. On top of all of that, he took a complex game system and managed to break it down for me (who had almost never seen it before) in a way that made it easy to understand and learn, and did a great job recognizing what I latched onto in order to emphasize those features of my character and in doing so really raised my personal enjoyment of the game. I cannot recommend Andrew highly enough!

It was great to spend time together, and the positive energy was infectious.
