About Thomas

Hey there, heroes and scoundrels! I'm a lifelong Game Master with over 40 years of experience crafting unforgettable worlds and weaving cinematic stories at the table. From the gritty streets of Shadowrun in the '80s to the cinematic chaos of Outgunned and the fresh magic of Daggerheart today, I’ve run it all—and then some. My game shelf? Think of it as the multiverse. Whether you're into D&D, Pathfinder, City of Mist, Blades in the Dark, Star Wars, Avatar, or deep-cut indie gems like Prowlers & Paragons and Tiny D6, I've got you covered. I tailor each session to the vibe you’re craving—epic, gritty, heroic, hilarious, or haunting. 📽️ Storytelling is in my blood. I’ve appeared in two films and I’m currently co-writing screenplays with a creative force behind Independence Day, Donnie Darko, and Gone in 60 Seconds. Expect a GM who knows how to pace a scene, deliver drama, and make every player feel like the star of the show. I am also a published artist for the Prowlers and Paragons RPG and Supers RED. 🎮 Also? I’m a former Major League Gamer (yes, for real—Rainbow Six Vegas), so I bring fast thinking, tactical depth, and high-energy fun to every session. Let’s make magic. Whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned dice-slinger, I’ll guide you into worlds you’ll never want to leave.

How Thomas runs games

My GM Style: Cinematic, Immersive, Player-Driven Step into a story where your choices matter and every moment feels like it could be on the big screen. My GM style blends narrative depth with smooth mechanics, leaning into cinematic systems and storytelling that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Think thrilling action, rich character arcs, and moments of quiet drama that hit just as hard as any boss battle. 🧭 I invest deeply in building shared worlds using tools like LegendKeeper, bringing your adventures to life with interactive lore, dynamic world maps, and evocative storytelling. Every NPC has a backstory, personality, and motivation—no cardboard cutouts here. 🎶 To heighten the experience, I layer in cinematic soundtracks using the Fantasy+ app, creating an atmosphere that draws you into every scene, whether it’s a tense negotiation, a haunting mystery, or an epic showdown. 🎲 Combat is fast, flavorful, and always exciting—but it’s the story we create together that takes center stage. Above all, I foster a safe, inclusive, and welcoming table where all players feel seen, respected, and free to be themselves. Whether you're new to TTRPGs or a seasoned dice veteran, you're invited to shape the story.
