About me
I've been in love with TTRPG's since the first time I sat down to play with friends after school 15 years ago! That initial sense of freedom and wonder at being able to craft wonderful stories and go on adventures with those around me on the fly has never left since that day. It’s become something I’ve wanted to share with anybody I get the chance to, pushing me to become a game master so I could make the perfect space for all of my other friends to get to have the same kind of wonderful experience I did when I first started playing tabletop games! After a decade+ of long spanning campaigns with my friends, and making new friends along the way I realized I’m never having more fun than when I see big smiles on all of my players' faces, or hearing them talk excitedly after a game. I realized it’s become more than just a hobby for me, it’s what I want to do in order to make a difference in the world. I want to meet new people, make new friends, and give them a safe space where they can tell the stories they want to tell together, and that’s what brought me here! So come on in and take a seat! Get friendly and tell me about the characters you've been cooking up so we can see what sort of adventures we can go on!
GM Style
I love running a good story that’s satisfying for the whole table, and making sure everyone gets their moment to shine every session while keeping a steady line of communication to ensure you are getting your money’s worth when you are in one of my games. One of the best ways to do this I’ve found is utilizing a players backstory whenever I can! You can expect me to work with you on your backstory, asking you questions and working together to brainstorm plot beats. Nothing puts a bigger grin on my face than seeing a character finally track down the person they’’ve been seeking vengeance on during the whole campaign, or finally saving the person they cared for most. Those kind of moments are what I live for!
