About me

Played D&D in the late 1970s through to about 1990. With work and family, I shifted to Table top games mostly historical. In the last decade, focused on the newer generation of boardgames and continue to paint miniatures whether Zombicide or War of the Roses. Now retired, I keep finding interest in adventure party/dungeon crawl games and keep having that thought of whether the magic and fun of gaming is possible. Those GMs with the "Teacher/Educator" tags seems like a welcome fit. It has been a couple of decades so I am going to need to relearn!

Japes

Played 3 sessions

Brand new to Cthulu RPG and was a bit confused. Japes was patient in explaining rules and the way the need to investigate for clues without being direct or obvious. Japes presented a wonderful top down art display for playing and moving the characters and was delighted with my co-player (a gent I would be thrilled to game with again). Japes also conveyed a creepy scene and the reveal was particularly unexpected which had my character wanting nothing more to do (run...did I mention run...). Fun time and I would expect a great time in a campaign (this was a one off) and well worth trying something brand new to this gamer. A++

Lawful Cherry

Played 2 sessions

Lawful Cherry provides a wonderful story to develop that is driven by the characters playing. He knows how to allow the banter and comradery to grow with the players and uses a calm voice to present the players with the situation without tipping off the right or wrong way to proceed. That is great when you have a full party especially as some of us were newbies and others had experience with the rules. Happily played in an extended one-off and if/when Cherry does a campaign, I would be all to thrilled to play again (and the fellow gamers were awesome - the combination just makes a great time where you can forget about the annoyance of a day and, instead, explore and investigate the hold underground. Recommended A+!

DM Greg V avatar

DM Greg V

Played 1 session

Greg is a fantastic DM who is excellent at teaching the rules, ensuring that the player is fully informed of their decision(s) and clearly knows the rules. He is very organized, is full of creativity and allows the player(s) to interact with each other and the NPCs as desired. If you are a first time player, or like me, returning after many decades to RPGs, sign up for one of Greg V.'s games and start gaming with a great gent who will get your gaming confidence up (or back).

Carl D.

Played 13 sessions

Ongoing campaign featured an emotionally charged retro back in time where a battle field, black dragon, the black knight (or was ...she...!) and the loss of comrades is the past may or will impact those in the current era! It was fantastic step back in time and uncertainty as to how each player was related or maybe not all and the answer is vitally important! All in 2 hours or so where we all were sitting on the edge of our computer screens awaiting the next installment as presented by a super skilled DM. Take the plunge with Carl D and try a campaign where days of the week and time slots are very player friendly. Contact me directly at anytime if any questions or details wanted. Erik

Tanner

Played 1 session

First game of 5E and played a one-off DM'd by Tanner. A new gamer can have a bit of nerves and uncertain about doing something wrong or not thoughtful. If you have any of these types of concerns, I strongly recommend signing up with Tanner. He is excellent with being patient, giving hints for an action you, as a new player, likely forgot. The effort he has gone through to design maps, play areas, and the setting is exceptional. It has been decades, but having been a DM in the past, I know just how much work that takes and it was appreciated! He is very good with the combat setting, not too slow (analysis paralysis with players) but not so fast that one who is new gets flustered and forgets what can be done. He does very well with voice work and was easily able to adjust to unique moments that we players had (inspirational moment even!). The three "tag" system below does not do him justice. I would have checked all of them and added "teacher". He is gifted with explaining rules, options, and he has that talent to make changes that suit the mood and "rule of cool" when it just made the most sense. Impressive DM and I will joining a campaign as soon as he has one available. Highest Recommendation A+++. Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions as I will be happy to answer.
