About me

I love storytelling, and think collaboration is the future of great, memorable tales. As a GM, I run loose and player-driven games, with a large repertoire of voices, a mixture hand drawn and digital maps, and a LOAD of detailed worldbuilding. If you want a GM to work with you, in and out of game, send me a message! Let's get gaming!

GM Style

I enjoy creative and player driven Role-Play, with a great array of character voices at my disposal. In my games, combat serves the narrative, so you won't find that a combat encounter is purposeless - it may reveal a new plot hook, or hint at a growing threat. I love worldbuilding, so am always super excited to tailor my world, plans, and ideas to your characters. I run a freeform game, usually in sandbox styles - but have experience running all manner of adventures. Special interests of mine include maps, religion, and flavorsome description. Most of all, I want to see my players doing cool stuff that we make work together.

Been in his game for a little over a year and a half. Simply amazing world building and storytelling skills. I've been excited for every game and that hasn't dwindled in the slightest. One of the best DM's I've ever had, and definitely worth joining one of his games if you can manage to find your way towards one when he never schedules them lol

If you like hand-drawn battlemaps, npcs, and amazingly detailed citymaps, having your actions in-game have actual consequences, then I can whole heartily recommend Tom! All members of our party is, as of writting this review, in jail, because of our actions. Looking forward to a kickass jailbreak

Absolutely great DM! Tom puts more work and love into his worlds and knowledge of that world than almost any other DM I've seen. Couldn't recommend more!

Makes great use of character voices, and is overall a great GM. Easily the best GM I've encountered so far!
