Professional Game Master, designer, mentor, and storyteller creating tabletop experiences where people stop performing competence and start surprising themselves.
Who this is for.D&D left you cold and you don't know why.You want a table where it actually matters.You're a GM quietly wondering if there's more to this.The optimization discourse will survive without you.Come do something interesting instead.
What I do.
Long-form campaigns and one-shots across systems you may not have heard of yet. Narrative focus. Genuine stakes. Characters who change. Eleven weekly campaigns and three play-by-posts currently running - there's usually a chair open somewhere.
