What are you looking for?

I like to feel camaraderie with a DM rather than animosity; I'm not at the table to beat someone. I know that systems can be brittle, so I try to treat them fairly. I've played 4.0 D&D, but it runs more like a tabletop war game than I'm happy with. That said, I've played 3.5 D&D games that were entirely story-driven with no combat; that was woefully unfulfilling. I've played high and low magic games, high and low power games and I play nice with people new to a game system.

About Me

Biography

I'm a big fan of story-driven games. Games I've run have favored skill checks and intuition as much as direct damage dealing madness. My play style varies; In 3.5 games I've run a bitter loner sorcerer, a book-smart but unworldly wizard with a vow of nonviolence and a mysterious mute psychic warrior who abused ploymorph. In other systems, I've played an Afghani CIA informant, a magic-wielding ex-Spetsnaz soldier working for the CDC, an automatronic crime-solving van with identity issues and an african-american angel/janitor working at Berkeley University during the 1940's, that I best recall.
