About me

Been part of a Candela Obscura table for about 2 years every other Tuesday. Love that so much got a tattoo of it. Tried to branch out to roll 20 discord voice for a few months, got enjoyment out of it but i started to feel pressured to 'perform'. I also hated how an entire session could be filled up with just combat. While combat is fun, if it is number crunchy and too long it just feels like a waste of time.  I'm a rp and lore junky. I loved the characters and story of my campaigns, did not care or know really how to make a super powerful and dps build. Which tells me while I prefer combat to be more rp prone.  I'm a 34 year old mailman and husband and father, so time is very tight.  I will post at least 5 posts a day. Depending on the workload and how high maintenance the family is, and if I find the pbp compelling, I might do a lot more. I hope so. That's why I ultimately ended up bowing out of the dnd.  So my next stepping stone in my ttrpg journey is to find a pbp that posts normally that focuses on rp and story. While I appreciate the chaos and uncertainty of the dice it shouldn't be at the deterrent of player creativity, or fun, or rule of cool. But that's just me.  I can learn any system or setting, I'm a smart dude. I value the people and the pc and the story over all. Also, I'm from Kansas. In the US. Normal sleep schedule. So CDT is where I'm at. That has been an issue before. I've never done paid pbp before but if the quality of the campaign, and set up, and pace is good enough I have no issue helping with a few dollars to the gm

Love this Dm! I came to this DM with a character in hopes to heal from a bad experience. Every day my character is in her world is another day of healing for me. Amazing rp, communication is amazing, could not recommend more.

Incredibly flexible with ideas. Had no idea what I wanted and he was able to cater to that. Expectations were clear as day. Incredibly personable, amazing storyteller, brilliantly understanding. I really appreciated the transparency we shared and the realistic expectations that were set forth. His storytelling really is in a caliber of itself. I will miss this. Couldn’t recommend this dude more.

I gave him a character concept I have always dreamed of doing. Thinking it was unrealistic, and he made it realistic. Super receptive and understanding. Great at communicating. You really can’t go wrong with this guy

One aspect of being a DM is how to deal with a situation that doesn’t work for a player. Frustration and disappointment can spark up and make things messy, so it’s hard. But this guy right here dealt with it with professionalism and understanding. Die to no one’s fault I had to bow out. And it was a great experience. My PC had an epic moment of glory, and everyone was left with a feeling of peace and closure. This is what dnd is about. It’s easy to be a good DM when things work, it’s a real testament to the DM when they deal well with it when it doesn’t. I hope to eventually get back to his table when the stars align, because this guy is an absolute pleasure to have DM
