Multiple campaigns, numerous one shots, several game systems, and thousands of hours later, here I am, hoping to expand my abilities as a Game Master and eager to share my passion for role play and combat with players new and old. I'm throwing my name into the hat, questing with reckless abandon to be your first, next, or even favorite Master of the Dungeon. With 25 years of acting, writing, and storytelling under my belt, a love for creativity and role playing, and generous-but-not-gratuitous application of the Rule of Cool, all in an effort to make your gameplay as dynamic and fun as possible, I'm ready to start. Care to join me? With a background in entertainment and writing, I'm not shy about providing colorful descriptions to build the worlds of the game, nor in lending my voice to create the various voices of the NPCs who inhabit them. That said, as a player myself I understand the draw to action and combat, and I strive to create sessions that fire on all cylinders. My DM portfolio includes one shots and campaigns of glorious variety, both virtually and live at the table --whether you like political intrigue, suspense, and mystery to drive your curiosities over multiple sessions, or streamlined quests to have you panting at a fever pitch for a single one shot, I make every effort to provide diverse experiences for even more diverse players. What's Provided and What to Expect Expect a combination of high quality battle maps and scenic images to visually bring you into each of my adventure worlds. Combat and ambient music are a mainstay in my games, as well as NPC voices and some sound effects to complete the immersion for gameplay. Your pre-game setup experience will be streamlined with access to all the tools and links you'll need in order to prepare for the sessions. Membership on my Tangled Web Discord server will connect you with your party and also allow you to feast you eyes on several other one shots and campaigns I am currently running.
