About me

I started playing AD&D in the 80s with my collage friends. Then I took a few decades off. I was reintroduced to D&D (5e) when my family asked during Covid - and after Stranger Things - if I would teach them to play D&D. I learned 5e and started running family games. I quickly realized that I would like to be a player, too; I was having a lot of fun. I found StartPlayingGames in 2024 and have been having a blast since.

I had a great time playing a Daggerheart one-shot with Tiger. He is really a great storyteller, once of the best I've played with. He is also very patient and willing to help others learn games systems and the tech around playing. I can't wait to join more session with Tiger!

Carson ran a great one-shot session. The story and setting were very creative, the situations and encounters were complex, interesting and fun. Carson also allowed for flexibility and creativity from the players as solutions were sought for a variety of problems. Carson had fun with voices and other sound effects and music to help set the tone of the story. I look forward to joining more of Carson's sessions.

I had a great time playing one of Bruno's one-shots. It was focused on problem-solving (not puzzle-solving, and Bruno created a fun, creative session with a lot of role play. Bruno used the Rule of Cool allowing a lot of creativity and innovation, and also kept the session moving when necessary. I am looking forward to joining more of Bruno's sessions!

Oscar ran a really creative and fun one-shot with an Ozzy themed setting. Oscar used the Rule of Cool and was also very patient, helping and guiding the players through the various layers of technology when someone needed it. It was also nice to have a table with a wide range of age groups present, and Oscar made all of us feel welcome. I would definitely recommend joining one of Oscar's one-shots, and I look forward to doing so again as soon as I can.
