About me

Welcome, adventurers, to the realm of pen, dice, and paper! I am your guide, a creative writer, game designer, and fervent enthusiast of role-playing games. My journey began over 35 years ago in a cabin in the woods, where I first rolled the dice as a player of Dungeons & Dragons. Since then, I've more often taken up the mantle of Dungeon Master, weaving tales and guiding heroes through countless adventures. Based in Florida, I share my life with my wonderful wife and our three adventurous 'hobbits'. Here, in the world of Tabletop RPGs, I believe the true magic lies in the Story, the Characters, and the Choices they make. These elements combine to create those unforgettable, truly epic moments that define our journeys. Join me, and let's embark on a narrative adventure where your choices shape the saga.

GM Style

As a creative fiction writer, I excel at world building, engaging NPCs, character development, and an intriguing story that adapts to the PCs actions within the world. I am comfortable with all aspects of the game from combat to role play, from exploration to puzzles. I have GMed various campaigns with varying proportions of each. I have been a storyteller for hundreds of games, for a wide variety of groups, in traditional RPG settings, and even games of my own custom design. My specialty is being able to tailor make a gaming experience to a particular group or audience. I enjoy running campaigns for players of all kinds. New to the game? No problem! I can introduce you to wondrous worlds (and teach you the basics). Grizzled veteran? We can swap tales and I can present you with a new challenge or twist. And everything in between. In short, join my table if you want a world that comes alive where you can explore the character concept you have dreamed up.
