About me

My love of RPGs started with the Holmes Box Set. Since then, I've played, GMed, admired and analyzed numerous game systems. I enjoy testing home brews and rules tweaks that fit the style of a particular table. Having spent time designing games and scenarios, I believe authors and publishers often have good reasons for choosing their RAW. But I'm a firm believer in 'the rule of cool'. And I always try and work with my players so that they can say and do (or at least try to do, subject to the will of the dice) what they want.

My preferences

I like to play...

Call of Cthulhu
World of Darkness

David: The Bearded One

New review

David ran a Fiasco session - my first time with the system - and he seemed very comfortable running a storygame. He was great at managing the creative elements introduced by each of the players, and before the session he made it easy for new players by providing basic information about how the game runs.

New review

Had fun with a Trophy Dark one-shot that Ben ran! He was very knowledgeable about the system and was patient with new players (like myself). He was also open to player co-creation and was good at reacting to player choices.

Cass

New review

Cass ran a really great Savage Worlds homebrew 1-shot. I'm new to the system, and Cass was really helpful in teaching game mechanics and in using the VTT. Also, Cass was very respectful of player agency and did an awesome job voicing NPCs. Would highly recommend as a GM!

Dayv

I was in a Paranoia 1-shot that Dayv ran. He's a very cordial, easy-going GM, and the session was a lot of fun. I didn't rate it 5 stars because we were unsure of some rules at the beginning of the session, and things were a bit rough. But once the game got going, Dayv was great at running NPCs and in responding to the PCs' actions.

Simão Vaz avatar

Simão Vaz

Simão ran us through a VtM 1-shot. He's very good at quickly and effectively describing a scene without heavy-handed narration, he respects player agency, and he responds appropriately to player actions. I'd recommend him as a GM and would readily play in another of his sessions.
