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...

New review

Robert ran an introductory Daggerheart 1-shot, teaching the basics of the game as well as explaining some of the more complicated, advanced rules. He was enthusiastic, had an easy-going GM style, and was patient with those (such as myself) who had no prior experience with the system. I'd happily play with Robert again and recommend him as a GM, especially for those interested in getting experience with Daggerheart.

New review

Travis ran a Starfinder 2e 1-shot, an introduction to a longer story arc. As a new player to SF, I appreciated that he was helpful in teaching the basic mechanics of the system. He gave us the option of character creation or pregens, so he ensured everyone was playing the character of their choice. The game ran smoothly, and he managed both the combat and the exploration scenes of the session very ably. I'd recommend Travis to anyone interested in playing Starfinder.

Neves

I played in a 1-shot modern CoC scenario that Neves authored and ran. He's a great GM who kept the session running smoothly and provided pregens, maps, & handouts that helped the whole party engage with the adventure. I'd recommend his sessions for experienced CoC players as well as anyone who wants to learn the system.

Alex ran a great 1-shot introductory session of OGoA. He provided pre-gens and overview material for the setting, so he made it easy to jump right in and learn Cypher. I'll be following his games, as I'd be happy to play with him again.

ShaunR's a great CoC Keeper. He seems to listen closely to his players & react and adapt encounters accordingly. He's an engaging storyteller that effectively uses audio/video & VTT tools. Would highly recommend him for both new and experienced players.
