About me

I'm a poet, science fiction and fantasy writer, and game designer from Trinidad and Tobago! I'm really passionate about telling stories and using collaboration and performance to do so together at a table, which is why I'm excited about playing and making TTRPGs. In particular, I love discovering and expanding on the worldbuilding of players, making room for really interesting character play, and giving PCs opportunities to be cool in as many different narrative ways as possible. I always want to make room for an inclusive and welcoming experience in the story, at the play table, and even before we roll dice. At present, I'm really into Forged in the Dark and Powered by the Apocalypse games like Blades in the Dark, Apocalypse Keys, and Thirsty Sword Lesbians, but I'm always on the lookout for new indie stuff to play and always intrigued to discover a new system as a player, a GM, and designer.


GM style

RPGs are a collaborative storytelling endeavour, and I want to encourage that storytelling from my players--the vibe should always feel like you're all discovering the coolest scene of your favourite television show playing at the table, only that you're the characters, and also the writers, and my job is just to stage-manage. I work hard to find moments for powerful internal development for your characters that play off each other and the world in interesting ways that make you feel inspired and awesome. Space opera, urban fantasy, cyberpunk, superhero fiction, and noir/neo-noir are my preferred subgenres, (and I'm especially into tokusatsu if you're a Super Sentai or Kamen Rider fan!) but I'm pretty open-minded in general. I also prefer more energetic and adventurous than dark and brutal. My story style tends to lean toward merging the mundane world with the weird and surreal and discovering the conflict that emerges between them, where normal people find themselves in radical situations and learn that both worlds have something meaningful to share about overcoming conflicts. I'm also willing to facilitate GMless games like the Belonging Outside Belonging system and Fight With Spirit! Want to get a sense of my GMing?
