About me

You want adventure! You want excitement! You want a GM who is reactive to your outside-the-box thinking! You'd really like to play with an X-treme Dungeon Master! Good news! I'm an old hand at this (XDM level 60!), the ForeverDM of my local circle. I've turned it into a passion: I'm interested in worlds, systems, characters, and storytelling techniques. I love most genres of gaming, from fantasy to cyberpunk, sci-fi in all it's flavours, and even the weird experimental stuff. My true gaming love is for richly detailed, robust, lore-heavy worlds where the characters feel like they could be real, and the world feels like it's something just out of sight but no less real than the mundane world. Worlds and adventures where players are incentivized to make decisions that naturally fit the story, rather than having to compromise (story > rules, or rules > story). I'm a big believer in AGENCY; games are made most fun when the players know that their choices and decisions have meaningful consequences. When player heroism, sacrifice, growth, and triumph become meaningful because they were real events that occurred among a group of people. Bob really did save Alice that time, and Dave really did give his life for Chelsea. Even if the events were simulated in the game world, those experiences and memories can transcend the table.

GM Style

I've been gaming for a long time; I can run just about any kind of game, for any groups of people, in any kind of system. My preference is for evolving mysteries, high-stakes challenges that demand heroes who rise to the occasion, and rich, lore-heavy worlds that feel as though they're a real place just out of sight. I support and encourage roleplay, but I know it can be hard for some people to "act out" their character. That's why I enable people to play the way they want! If you want to get into costume, put on a voice, and embody your character - Go for it! If you'd more comfortable narrating what your character does, like the disembodied voice of your character's conscience - Go for it! Some games lend themselves to fast cinematic action where you never have to reload. Other games tend to work best as models for reality, where the player has to care about in-world details. I like match my GM style to the game being played, but I prefer games where the rules help us understand "how the world actually works", so that our scenarios and actions are plausible, believable, and consistent with the lore of the world.
