About me
As with every profile, it's a work in progress. Most ttrpg folks have a dice kink. I have a systems kink. I have more books and systems than I'm ever going to be able to play, but I am damn sure gonna try. Here to run games I love and explore games that others do. Want me to run something particular? Let's have a conversation and figure it out.
GM Style
Narrative focused GM with an emphasis on Player agency in games. I bring the story, you bring the adventure and we build the world together.

We have just had session 1 of a Scum.& Villainy campaign, and thanks to Johnnie it's quickly becoming one of my favourite games. After we established the groundwork in session 0, Johnnie dropped us right into the action and gave us the freedom to develop where we were and why we were there. He even encouraged us to establish what sound blasters make in our game (I love tropes so I had to vote for "pew-pew-pew") and worked that directly into the opening scene. It was a true collaborative process and I was personally more invested as a result. Can't wait to see where we go in this campaign. I would highly recommend Johnnie if you like a GM who works with you to create a story that's fun for everyone.
I played with Johnnie using the Dragonbane system. It was a fantastic instructional session, where he encouraged our RP and ideas. Johnnie did a good job leading us through the rules of the game system and the VTT Alchemy. He provided an inclusive and safe environment while providing the tools for us to use, in case anyone felt they needed them. I would play again with him.
Johnnie was patient and communicative, showing new players the ropes of the game and the VTT. He made it known that we were in charge of our story and he never said "no" as he worked everyone's input into our collaborative narrative. Johnnie made himself available the day before for anyone who wanted to make their characters but also provided ready-made sheets on game day for players who chose that route. He knew the rules and knew when to make them cool! I would definitely play with Johnnie again.
