Hello fellow gaming enthusiasts! I’m here to offer my time
and creativity, and an enjoyable entertainment experience, at what I believe
are very reasonable rates. The Offer
Currently, I’m focused on running games in D&D 5E as I
continue to explore the best edition (IMO) since 2 nd edition. I’m
available either Sunday evenings biweekly or Mondays weekly. I have some
flexibility in timing and have a handful of games ready to go, including: N1 Against
the Cult of the Reptile God , my 5E adaption from an award-winning AD&D
module
T1 The
Village of Hommlet , also my 5E adaption and 1 st part of the
Temple of Elemental Evil
One-shot games from Tales from the Yawning
Portal (Roll20 Marketplace)
I’m also available to kick off a full-blown campaign
stretching 1 st to 15 th and beyond, a 5E game based upon a
popular Pathfinder adventure path called “Carrion Crown”. This campaign combines the D&D fantasy elements with the horror genre, exploring dark themes and affecting the fate of a
gothic kingdom with an evil-stained past. I only offer long-term campaigns
to select individuals, because we’ve played together before.
Pricing for any of the one-shots is $50 per person for 18-24
total hours of gaming. Pricing for the full campaign is negotiable, but the
base rate is $10 per 3-hour session. Group discounts may apply.
But Dark Gods below! Fifty pieces of silver? Why?
It’s a good question. My experience with one-shots is that
commitment levels vary. As I’ll be facilitating a shared entertainment
experience, I’m acutely aware that when one or two players don’t show, it affects
the game. Payment up-front (after session 0) indicates a commitment to not just
the game master, but also your fellow players. Tools
As a Pro subscriber, I use many of the features available
within the Roll20 interface – mood music and sound effects, the best maps I can
find or create (often with dynamic lighting for the intense dungeon crawls), token
macros for quick and easy combat resolution, and many others. I use the
Compendium heavily
I run highly interactive games with audio at a minimum, but prefer
video as well and have settled on Discord like many others. I can be found
easily at VorpalDM#0812 Terms of Service
Expanding upon Roll20’s Code of Conduct, I post here my
additional Terms of Service, spelling out what you can expect from me and what
I expect from those at my game table:
My
Role (Game Master):
.
Provide you (the Player) entertainment in the form of a hosted game session. Role play all Non-Player Characters (NPCs) Facilitate role play between Player Characters
(PCs), and between PCs and NPCs. Arbitrate rules disputes using D&D 5E rules,
any accepted official errata, and any house rules. Arbitrate other disputes as needed. Take corrective action when violations of the GM
Terms of Service occur.
Your
Role (Player)
Be punctual. This is a shared entertainment experience. If you cannot participate in a scheduled game
session, provide 24 hours of notice to the GM. Adhere to Roll20's Code of Conduct .
Demonstrate respect for other players and the GM at all times. Understand the capabilities of your assigned PC,
and adjust them (increase levels, choose abilities, etc.) as needed and/or
directed by the GM. Participate actively in the game through your
assigned PC (or PCs) and their abilities. Avoid knowingly diminishing the entertainment
value of the game session for other players. This most commonly occurs
through metagaming . My Credentials
Nine Hells! You’re still reading? So why would you bother to
spend your hard-earned silver to play at my game table? I’m glad you ask! I’ve been a game master for over 30 years. I’ve run long-term games
in almost every edition of D&D, as well as Pathfinder, Shadowrun (1 st -3 rd
editions), and an indie RPG known as "The Riddle of Steel." Heroes Unchained is
an award-winning example from my portfolio, a 3-year Earthdawn campaign. I
create and run the types of games I prefer to play in, with exciting tactical
combat and epic role-playing. In the worlds I build, you’ll have an opportunity
to develop multidimensional characters with interesting histories. Professionally (my day job), for the past 15 years I’ve
worked as a technologist for an enterprise-sized financial institution, and
most recently I took a role managing global relationships around a set of
technology services. On a daily basis, I facilitate meetings and calls with
senior executives, engineers, and demanding business partners. Many of the
skills I’ve honed professionally have sharpened my game mastering – time and
project management, negotiation, and active listening.
People keep coming back to my game table because first and
foremost, I’m consistent and dedicated. Offering a Sunday or Monday night game
means I’ve made the commitment to provide you a service. I value diversity,
cultural awareness and different perspectives. I have many hobbies, but this
for me is a craft, and sharing it with others energizes me like nothing else.
