About me

I am a fishy scientist by day that's been running D&D5E since around 2016. I have run both official adventures and my home-brew campaign for my friends for many years. I was also part of a local gaming club where I ran games for different people every week. I am not a professional voice actor but I do dabble a bit with voices and impressions. I also enjoy dabbling with home-brew game design and worldbuilding. Due to my research background I like to add a bit of science fun where possible. I also watch actual plays like Critical Role, Dimension 20 and Acquisitions Inc. so we can geek out together over that.


GM style

My GM philosophy is that I am in charge of everyone having fun, and everyone having fun is the most important thing. A 3-4 hours session is a lot of time to take out of a busy adult's schedule and I treat that with respect. Player agency is my second priority, the whole draw of TTRPGs for me is that it allows for doing much more than what can be coded into a video game. So I try my best to allow as much freedom as possible without breaking things. I enjoy role-play and using voices, but you shouldn't expect professional voice acting. I try to emphasize all pillars of play to foster variety and enable every player character to shine. On the creative side I enjoy world building and creating an immersive world for my players to live and breathe in. I also enjoy testing and tinkering with new high-tech tools for TTRPGs to constantly improve my skill set and player experience.
