About Matthew
I have been running TTRPGs since 2009, starting with 4th Edition D&D and expanding to Pathfinder, Star Wars, Cyberpunk, and more. I pride myself on player-centered games where clever and creative play is encouraged and strong bonds of fellowship can flourish. I also place an emphasis on respect, engagement, and inclusion. Unless we all feel safe and comfortable, we can't get the most out of this wonderful game.

How Matthew runs games
As a GM, I try to build a colorful, complex, and consistent world around my players. I enjoy doing voices, describing setting, and narrating pulse-pounding combat. I tend to emphasize player engagement over strict rules, and am always open to a balanced homebrew. These are collaborative stories, and I am eager to weave my player's ideas into the fabric. My favorite thing is having to think about something I hadn't considered because a player just HAS to see what's behind a closed door (or inside a noble's pocket). If it seems like I had it planned all along, that's just part of the illusion.
