Hello,



My name is John and I have been a TTRPG player for over 35 years and a DM for 34. I run both off the shelf and original adventures. I cater to busy adults who do not get to game that often. I will be starting a multi-episode West Marches style adaptation of Rime of the Frost Maiden. This is for players who may not be able to commit to a full length campaign or who may only want to play certain parts of the story.

My games try to capture the feel of high strangeness from The X-Files and the mystery solving and social from Scooby Doo, Buffy/Angel. Combat is there, but we have rewritten certain scenes to include a diplomatic solution without violence if that is your preference. Fighting and killing is not mandatory for every situation. You can level up through problem solving and interacting with the world. For more about my style see my information page.
