About me

I suppose most of us here have always been drawn to tales of adventure and heroism... Maybe we would hang out with people who could make us smile with just a few words... I am sure you did to. So, now I hope that we can get together to tell many more great stories. As a kid I started with AD&D and now, 30ish years later someone finally tells me I could get more than just free pizza as a GM so... lets have some fun tonite! The spirit of those stories, is embodied in all of us and with the growth of Technology and many new great Campaigns, we can explore together so many wonderful worlds. Recently, I have spent most of my time in Golaria (Pathfinder) and the planets surrounding the Space Station Absalom (Starfinder). Now I hope we can spend some time to travel these worlds together.

GM Style

Remember this is your interactive journey I will just help keep your world from falling apart! (hopefully?) So A few Tips: The Tech - We will use Foundry as well as Discord for my games. These are all FREE for you the players Player Agency - It's important that players know that their choices matter. The game environment will change and react to the player's actions from minute to minute, and session to session. Immersion - I will do my best to to help us focus on the game environment, instead of our dice. Tactical maps - We will be using tactical maps for combat... this keeps us all knowing we are at least somewhere close to the same place. Rules are there to be broken - I love improvised actions. Describe how you're going to be awesome, and I'll work with you! Laughter - The game is all about laughing with/at your friends! (even the ones you haven't met yet...)

Gnomey is prepared, personal and passionate about his games. Last night's game everyone was laughing at and with one another as we experienced the highs of the double-crit and the lows of nat 1's but came up with creative ways to ... fail ... hilariously. Yes, we won the day, but the journey felt like a true adventure and everyone was sad to see it end. Gnomey made that happen quickly, efficiently, and helped us bring out the fun in the game. Kudos and thanks ... Gnomey rocks. Try one of his games and you'll be hooked.

Gnome is a fantastic Pathfinder 2e GM who brings creativity, balance, and adaptability to every session. His campaign / games are engaging, with dynamic storytelling and well-crafted encounters that keep things exciting. Gnome also creates a welcoming atmosphere where all players can contribute, making him my top choice for anyone seeking a skilled and enthusiastic GM.

Gnome is a fantastic GM who brings a lot of great material to the games. As a GM he is also a patient GM willing to help all those in his games, and works to create an enjoyable experience for every one.

I sampled over half a dozen DMs and Gnome is the one that myself and friends agreed was the best. His rules knowledge is solid. He keeps things moving. He is very knowledgeable about macros and the way to get the best results from their use. Because of our satisfaction with him my friends and myself stopped sampling other GMs through 1 shots and gleefully started a 1-20 level campaign with him which is all you really need to know.
