Hello adventurers,
I've been playing tabletop roleplaying games since the mid-nineties, and I quickly took to GMing. I enjoy rich roleplay and vivid descriptions, and often create handmade customized maps for my campaigns. I'm very willing to work with you to provide an enjoyable gaming experience. I am a professional GM, and I've logged over 2500 hours on Roll20 for over 100 players.

GAME STYLE & TONE
Character and player agency is my primary focus in game. I want the world to feel as real as can be, emphasizing visual descriptions rather than mechanics.
I offer a fully fleshed out roleplaying experience, with a combination of voice acting and narration. My gaming philosophy attempts to utilize all three pillars of roleplay; so expect NPC intrigue, environmental challenges, weird and wonderful world-building on top of complex and challenging combat.
I run campaigns in many genres: low and high fantasy, post apocalyptic, horror, science fiction/space-faring, and strange tales.
Whether you want to explore in a dungeon for a few hours with friends or run an ongoing biweekly cosmopolitan campaign, or even if you just want me to run an arena style battle to test out your new PC ideas, I'm the GM for you!

WHAT TOOLS DO I EMPLOY?

A NOTE ON SAFETY
I take consent and comfort-level in gaming very seriously. My table is a safe space for you and your fellow players. To this end, I make full use of safety tools provided by Roll20, and I also use the Monte Cook Games consent form in my games. I take mental health and trauma very seriously. In addition, my table is LGBTQ+ friendly and personal expression is strongly encouraged! At the end of every session I hold a debriefing and we go over Stars and Wishes to ensure the gaming experience is always good for everyone at the table.
