Games Run

  • Planescape Nights, a break from the more experimental and artsy campaigns to take a trip back to a simpler time when adventurers were adventurers and we all knew what alignment we were.
  • The Emperor Seldon Plan, a prelude to a fantasy campaign in construction. The players wake up having lost their memory, and investigate their own nature and growing powers.
  • Facilitated many games of Microscope. Yes, technically there is no GM in this game.
  • Dr. Prologue Trek: A Star Quest Odyssey to the Future Wars. A science fantasy set in a custom universe, using a free-form system loosely based on Top Secret. In this adventure, a set of rag tag players roam the galaxy seeking profit and fun.
  • A fantasy game set in a custom world using D&D 4th Edition. The players investigated the strange causes of wars, disasters, and the undead rulers of the human empire.
  • A fantasy one-shot using D&D 4th Edition. The players deal with some goblins or similar in this one-shot used to test out 4th ed.
  • A fantasy campaign set in Forgotten Realms using D&D 3.5. The players are recruited by a cleric and a paladin to assist in the battle against an ancient evil.

Influences and Trends

Some things that may affect my games.

  • I'm reading up on Burning Wheel and a lot of the ideas in that system are looking interesting to me right now.
  • I tend to improvise a lot more than other GMs. It seems to work well.
  • I want to find ways to incorporate audio into the gaming experience to set the mood.
  • Expect experimentation.
  • Recently I've had a lot of exposure to European history, especially Rome, England, France, and the German speaking countries. This might weigh a lot on how I design cultures and political entities in my games.
  • I've also been learning Old English and gotten interested in some bits of linguistics. I promise not to invent a language and make you learn it, I am no Tolkien.
