I have loved TTRPGs ever since I got my hands on the core ๐ƒ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ž๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ƒ๐ซ๐š๐ ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐Ÿ‘.๐ŸŽ books back in the late 90s, and my passion has continued to spread into other RPGs, such as ๐‚๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‚๐ญ๐ก๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ก๐ฎ, ๐…๐€๐“๐„, and ๐๐ฅ๐š๐๐ž๐ฌ ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ƒ๐š๐ซ๐ค. As a professional Gamemaster, it is my job to share that passion with you in the hopes that you, like me, will discover your own genuine fondness for the wide and vast world of TTRPGs, and perhaps fall in love with them like I did!

GM Style

While my playstyle isn't wholly original, I uphold the following principles: 1๏ธโƒฃ ๐“๐ก๐ž ๐๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐‘๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ž. TTRPGs belong to ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ, as everyone has a story to tell. You will be expected - at all times - to treat others how ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ฎ want to be treated, and respect each person at the table with the utmost dignity and stoicism. 2๏ธโƒฃโ€‹ ๐๐จ ๐‘๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ ๐‹๐š๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ. Though the core rules still apply, the "Rule of Cool" will always prevail. If you intend to argue every ruling, this table isn't for you. 3๏ธโƒฃโ€‹ ๐€ ๐๐š๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐œ๐ž๐ ๐†๐š๐ฆ๐ž. Combat and roleplay are both integral to the TTRPG experience, with neither superseding the other. You can expect combat to be tough but fair, and roleplay to be rich and immersive. Non-combat solutions to problems in-game are always an option! 4๏ธโƒฃโ€‹ ๐๐ž ๐’๐ฎ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐จ๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž. As Gamemaster, it's up to me to help guide you through your experience.
