About me
🥀Hello! Long time GM currently running Mörk Borg, MИP, D&D, Delta-Green, and Zweihänder Reforged. Love the old Frank Frazetta, Dark Fantasy vibe/gothic vibe! If you're looking for either gothic fantasy campaigns, high octane Mörk Borg shenanigans, all the way to X-Files eldritch horror vibes with Delta-Green, we'd love to have ya! 🥀My roots start in D&D 1e growing up, then picking up 5e as a new DM. Later migrated to Zweihänder to facilitate the dark, gothic fantasy vibe, now fallen in love with MИP and Mörk Borg each for their simplicity, dynamics, and unique mechanics! 🔥🤘 🔥 🥀Love using TaleSpire for the 3D environments and absolute eye candy of maps the players can run around in. Hope to have you join us!
GM Style
🥀Firstly, I'm huge on roleplay and exploring very personal stories between characters and the backgrounds they write (no matter how concise or extravagantly written). A large part of this is also exploring weaknesses and flaws in characters (both mechanical and background written), as these vulnerabilities create opportunities for growth, tension, and compelling storytelling! 🥀Secondly, I love playing out intricate, very tactical combat. Utilizing both sub-objectives and hostiles while also navigating fully 3D environments adds great levels of dynamics so combat always feels fresh and fun. 🥀Lastly, although I run mostly Dark Fantasy, Gothic Horror themed settings, we dont take ourselves too seriously and enjoy a bit of banter at the table. We're never "edgy" for sake of being edgy but instead use darker/adult themes to create compelling story threads and unique dilemmas that continually challenge and grow the characters. 💠Sources of Inspiration: Frank Frazetta Art, Baroque era paintings, Belle Epoque era, Mortal Shell, Bleak Faith Forsaken, Dark Souls Series, Gothic Horror, Lovecraftian horror, Folk Horror

This dude is awesome! Amazing range of play styles from easy beginning games to darker, serious settings and able to branch out to more games than just DnD. I've played with him for years and he always does his best to set the mood with music and maps for the most engaging experience, online and in person. Always excited to play and an absolute inspiration for me to try other games and create my own worlds as well.

He is great at story telling and puts so much detail into his maps and minis. I love how immersive his story telling is.
Zachary Muldoon
He’s a great DM, been playing with him for years. Wish I could add every tag on here. He’s very dedicated to crafting fun and interesting stories. Not to mention his attention to detail in his maps and minis. Playing in his maps is a privilege. Saying he has a passion for TTRPGs would be an understatement. I highly recommend you play with him, especially if you love interactive game mechanics or horror. He taught me pretty much everything I know about the game. PS- Let it be known that all the Spires are connected….. 👀

Meko Noble
He does a great job at setting the scene and keeping the game engaging. The universe he has built is rich with lore and intrigue in every location on the map. He also does a session zero with everyone to establish boundries get an idea of what the player's want to get out of the campaign. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Harielira
I cannot say enough to express how much I enjoy being apart of this man’s games. You’re not getting just a well rounded GM, you’re getting an experience built from the ground up from beautiful talespire maps, minis, history, NPCs, visual aids for rules and streamlined character creation. This is his passion, and it shows. He’s an easy going guy that encourages player creativity and collaboration. He does it better than anyone I’ve played with before, you just can’t go wrong with him as your GM.
