About me

Greetings, adventurers! I’m new here on Start Playing, but I have 42 years of experience as a DM, 1000+ hours on Roll20, and years of improvisational theatre to make your game spectacular. I’m an award-winning uni prof, so new players can rest easy that I’ll take the time to teach them how to play the game. I'm a former indie musician, and bring that flair and energy to my DMing sessions. Voices and accents? You bet. Music to set the mood? Check! Maps and dynamic lighting? Whatever your computer can handle! I have a large library of tokens and maps on Roll20, as well as many official modules to enhance your online play. I value story over mechanics and rulings over rules. I am a fan of the player characters, not their opponent. At my table, we play to see what happens. I run a wide variety of games, from D&D 5E to Mörk Borg, Tales from the Loop to Masks: A New Generation, Alien to Mothership, Avatar Legends to Adventures in Middle Earth, Vaesen to We Deal in Lead, and many more.

Story over mechanics Rulings over rules Voices Faster combat, even when it's 5E Music that sets the mood Friendly
