About me

I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons, and other RPGs since the late 80s. Started GM-ing in my teens, and turns out I'm one of those who prefer to be a GM. I get to make funny voices. I tend to enjoy pre-made modules, which usually discourage uncooperative player groups. I wouldn't say I like doing a lot of prep and having players upend it on purpose. I tend to run games a bit more Old School, relying more on player skill than stats on the page. I play open dice, so I *never* fudge the dice for a specific outcome. This can result in Adam dying only for the party to find his long-lost twin Edam tied up in the next room.

GM Style

Not a big combat fan, but I run combat fine. I prefer roleplay, and would say I like to run fantasy in a David Eddings style. Some of the best stories are just what happens on travel. An epic game is one the players enjoy.

The GM knows his lore and allows players freedom. Good for beginners and veteran players. There is no nit picking over rules and the dice decide your future.

The friendly Chap is a knowledgeable DM, with better number skills than Jacob Zuma he will take you on an adventure through the ages.

Really professional and very fair. Keeps the game fun and allows for individual tomfoolery that adds to the game.
