About Michael

My name is Mike and I would love for you to bring your characters to life at my table! As a Game Master with over 20 of experience and a keen interest in learning different systems, I have a firm understanding of what helps make these games work and, most importantly, where to bend those systems to fit YOUR story. I'm very comfortable making adjustments to the world and the playstyle to conform to what my players need; that includes sensitivity discussions, trigger considerations, and reflexive changes for in-the-moment issues. I pride myself on being very chill and adaptable as well as LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC-friendly. I tend to run RP-heavy games- though a good dungeon crawl is always something I am interested in. I enjoy solid backstories and character motivations and I want to build the best world your character can experience. I love to help players integrate themselves into the world- whether that is in Faerun, Eberron, or my own homebrew world. Many of my paid games are Dungeons and Dragons 5E (2014/2024 agnostic) but I have experience in World of Darkness (5E), Mothership, Cyberpunk RED, and an interest in expanding into games like Star Wars: Edge of the Empire, Pathfinder and more.

My favorite books are

I absolutely love the Gardens of the Moon Series by Steve Erikson, they have an incredibly unique power and how they deal with their ascended, their divines, are just masterclass.

How Michael runs games

I bring full maps on Roll20, honest attempts at character voicing with deep and interesting roleplay and characterization with evolving character narratives. There is music, there is art and I work with you to help bring your unique character tokens to life. Character stories are considered and incorporated into the game and accounted for in the overarching gameplay. Character concepts will be discussed and explored in a group Discord chat on my server as well as in DMs. Character creation can be done solo or as a group with any character not created before the first session being built at the beginning of Session 1, acting as the groups session zero.
