About me

I have played and GM'd games for over 4 years across multiple systems including D&D5e, Star Wars 5e, Savage Worlds, Mothership, Mausritter, and more. My focus each session is to create the stage for the players to perform, acting as the background to allow their creativity to shine. I have experience in virtual tabletops including Roll20 and Foundry VTT and also enjoy Theatre-of-Mind play and use video conferencing tools such as Zoom for play.

GM Style

I prefer a game with strong roleplay and focus on narrative, low crunch systems and fast combat.

Todd starts off by giving a visual aid pdf so you can see the rules very simplified on one sheet of paper. It was very helpful. He gave suggested archetypes that were affiliated with some Test books and another document. He sets up safety tools to make sure everyone has a great time at the table while staying in the comfort zone. He gave suggestions to help make you experience even better with music, tokens, sound quality, etc. He even worked well with some restrictions the player may have. Very flexible. His knowledge and explanation of the rules were spot on. He gave amazing opportunities to experience different scenarios by setting up specific encounters. Plus, he was very mindful of the time, making sure the session flowed with his amazing improvisational skills. I feel like I could play Savage Worlds with a general understanding of how to play. The one-shot had a great story, the participants were great, and it made me want to continue to learn SWADE and teach it to others. Definitely a great GM.

Todd was the GM for my first TTRPG I ever played. I was very nervous but he made for a great experience. Lots of communication beforehand, made it easy to ask questions, managed the stats and flavor really well, and all around just a comfortable and engaging experience. Excellent descriptions of physical space and creatures. Knows just enough to say to give an idea of the situation while still allowing players to explore. Look forward to playing with him again in the future!

Was very welcoming, both in terms of helping new players as well as making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Also works with the players to set the scene both mechanically and thematically to best suit the narrative. Would be more than happy to play in a game of theirs again.

Todd did a great job hosting our group's session of Mothership. The event/story was well prepared and pacing was great. Todd kept everyone engaged and encouraged us to develop and progress the story in unique and interesting ways.
