About me

I'm Tom, a 29 year old Brit living in the US with my wife and cat. I have love of fantasy, roleplaying, anime, video games, and all the typically nerdy hobbies and interests you'd expect from a TTRPG player! You can expect to explore fantastical worlds, meet colourful and diverse NPCs, and have your actions change them. Looking forward to rolling dice with you all!

GM Style

Expect a roleplay focused game where your character is the driving force of the story. I mostly play in open world or sandbox style settings where you are free to explore, interact and create! When combat does happen, expect it to be dynamic and meaningful, with interesting tactical choices and custom battle-maps to get your adrenaline pumping! I'm happy to teach the rules of the system or anything else you're unsure of as well as having a table that is welcoming and inclusive of everyone! Most of all I prioritise running a fun game where we can laugh, cry, and tell the stories we want to tell!

I am a very ask for a lot player and he was willing to work with me on 90% of my insane ideas or help me change them into something that would work in the game. Thomas try’s to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable at the table and is quick to stop any bs Basically 🤙🏻🤙🏻

i am a new d&d player and they (the gm) made it easy for me to understand how to play d&d. communicated to ensure attendance and to make sure that we were all on the same page. they help shape your character to be suitable to the campaign with your involvement, to ensure satisfaction across the board. the campaigns i’ve played with them was very fun and i honestly recommend them as anyone’s dm.

In my time with him I really liked that he was very willing to work with whatever kind of character and backstory you wanted to have. With my character I wanted them to rarely get dream premonitions and when I finally got them the dreams came in forms of vague scenic hints to other events that we later went through. When those moments finally happened it was awesome to experience. While I didn't choose it, since it was hard to only pick three, I would say in general he's really good with working with newer players as well, or people who aren't super familiar with the rules. He's always had a lot of patience and was a joy to play with.

Great storyteller, DM is willing to go above and beyond to help players new and old. The DM allows players a lot of creativity when making their character and backgrounds. Makes the game enjoyable for everyone.
