one crisis at a time
where FUN comes FIRST
Professional Game Master for indie & small-press RPGs. Online sessions and convention tables. Prepared worlds, real stakes, and a seat for everyone, first-timers included.
What you get at my table
A world that's ready.
The prep is done before you arrive. Maps down, tone set, session starts on time. You bring a character; the world's already breathing.
Choices that matter.
I don't tell stories at you. I build the world and play it honestly, and you decide what happens to it. Find the door I didn't plan for, and we're going through the door.
A table where everyone plays.
Veterans, first-timers, and that friend who "doesn't really do voices." Inclusive, welcoming, zero gatekeeping. The rules are easy. The fun is the point.
I hunt for the good stuff.
My shelf leans toward small and independent publishers, the studios taking real creative risks. Free League is a longtime favorite (Vaesen, Coriolis: The Great Dark, The Electric State, Dragonbane), alongside the Cosmere RPG, Call of Cthulhu, and whatever standout I've most recently fallen for. Gothic horror and sci-fi mystery are home turf.
Never played any of these? Even better. There's no homework at my table.
Not sure if my table's your table? Session Zero is free. Every time.
One hour. We talk about the game you want, the tone you're after, and whether we're a fit. No commitment, no charge. Just two people who like games, talking about games.

From the table.
Bryant GM’d the most amazing game of Coriolis: The Great Dark by Free League Games at Origins this year. It was our first time playing Coriolis, and Bryant quickly got the table up to speed on the setting and the system.
Bryant is an excellent GM. He's very good at pacing and sharing the spotlight between players. He also provides gorgeous handouts and props. It was a really fun time!
Bryant really brought the game alive, running with some bad die rolls to provide a wonderful experience — small failures that made the overall success feel great.
