About me

I have been a game master for over 8 years. I have learned many different things and strived to improve with every game I run. I am backstory focused and roleplay focused. My main focus is everyone at my table has fun. I will work with all my players to make sure they have the most fun they possibly can. Finally, everyone is allowed at my table. That means I will not play with anyone who uses any bigoted or hate speech. I only care about playing the game I love and ensuring everyone is enjoying themselves at my table.

GM Style

Roleplay heavy. Character voices, tactical tough combat. Rule of cool.

Mike is an incredible GM. If you are a player who enjoys rich RP mixed with story-driven combat, then he is THE GM for you. He excels at keeping his table safe and his number 1 rule is that the game should be fun for all involved. He encourages player creativity and he knows the rules well (and is always happy to help or answer questions), but is also a Rule-of-Cool DM. Whether you're a beginner -- like I was the first time he DM'd for me -- or a seasoned player, he keeps the game engaging, challenging, alive, and inclusive. He has fun setting the scene with visual aids and background music. Genuinely cannot say enough great things about him as a Game Master.

A great GM for all levels of play~ Fun concepts, excellent execution, so much room for activities and banter between players, easy to ask questions from, and really sets an atmosphere for players to learn and experience genuinely rewarding gameplay!

No decision you make as a player goes unnoticed. Even the smallest things you do can have a huge pay off later. There's heavy RP but the combat isn't just there for mechanic, it's always juicy. Many times I wondered how to get out of or work out the combat we were in. That's not to say that there weren't the obligatory PC murder fests that make you feel good for being powerful, but a lot of the combats you need to use your head. Definitely worth it, but you for sure get back what you put in with this Game Master. If you give this guy even a little backstory it will be used and expanded upon in the story and world setting.
