About me

20+ years GMing, specializing in horror and the weird. Survivor of the edition wars and supporter of making bad decisions in the safety of collective storytelling. I believe that play is a vital part of healthy psychology and always seek to provide that fun to the whole table. I run monthly learn-to-play adventures for new gamers of all ages locally, and am very newbie friendly. LGBT+ positive and will not broker harassment of any players. Air Force veteran.

GM Style

Everyone is here to have fun: The right to swing your fist ends where the other player's face begins. I want what you want: ROLE-play? ROLL-play? As long as we're all on the same page, it's all good. Fair Arbitration of the Rules: I'll never rule against you in bad faith. Collaborative Storytelling: Having started with Vampire: the Masquerade, I am focused on player buy-in and the out-of-the-box thinking that creates for fun moments. Theater of the Mind but Tactically Sound: Most of the time the only map will be the one in my mind. This will be to your advantage, as it helps remove the choice paralysis of a grid. Assume Character Competence: Unless you tell me otherwise, your character is good at the stuff they should be and knows the things they should know. Tech-lite: A discord channel with notes & voice, google shared drive for some documents. Occasionally Owlbear Rodeo for a map. What I can't/won't do I do not expect from you: Voices & Rules Mastery are the two big ones.
