Rates
My normal fee is $5 per person per hour. This includes character creation (whether you want me to help you to create your own — which does not count towards the per-hour cost — or provide pre-generated characters), running the game, and finishing up the session(s).
If you're a first-time player, ask about my Newbie Discount!
Location
I am located in Norman, Oklahoma. I can travel to the greater Oklahoma City metro area, including Edmond, Moore, Noble, and other nearby places. If you're outside of this area, I can do online gaming through a number of video chat services: Google Hangouts, Skype, or even Zoom.
Available Games
Currently, I am able to run games in the following systems (those with an asterisk are a speciality):
| Changeling: The Dreaming * | Shadowrun (6th Edition) |
| Fate * | Ten Candles * |
| Little Fears | Mage: The Ascension |
| Bluebeard's Bride | Wraith: The Oblivion |
| GURPS (4th Edition) * | Toon |
| Tri-Stat dX | Dark Ages: Fae * |
| Paranoia (2nd Edition) | Cyberpunk 2020 (2nd Edition) |
In addition to the games listed above, I can run a number of games using existing settings (either from other roleplaying games, such as Blue Planet or 7th Sea, or from comics, movies, or TV shows, such as Star Trek, Albedo Anthropomorphics, or Firefly/Serenity) with universal systems. The three I know best for this purpose are GURPS, Fate, and Tri-Stat dX.
More games will be added to this list periodically. If there's a game you want me to learn and run for you, please let me know and I will see about picking up a copy!
Important Note:
I do not run Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder or Starfinder, or other D20 games. There are plenty of other GMs that can run these games for you. You don't need me to run them. If you're in the central Oklahoma area and looking for someone to run a D20 game, I recommend The Bearded Foe.
Code of Ethics
I strongly believe that everyone is welcome at the gaming table. In order to maintain an environment in which anyone can enjoy the community, storytelling, and thrill that comes from playing an interactive roleplaying game, I have a few standards to which I expect all my players to adhere. The following behaviours will not be tolerated:
- Abusive statements, either spoken or written, that are not in character (and even in-character comments must be stopped if any player expresses discomfort; see the X-Card section below).
- Intimidating or stalking behaviours
- Unwelcome recording of video, audio, or photographs
- Inappropriate or unwelcome physical contact or sexual/romantic attentions
- Encouraging or advocating for any of the above
If you engage in any of the above behaviours, you will be given one warning. If the behaviour continues, you will be asked to leave the gaming area without refund, and you will no longer be allowed to procure my services nor to participate in games paid for by others.
Especially severe instances of these behaviours will result in banning without warning.
The X-Card
I use a tool called 'The X-Card.' This is simply a card, in the middle of the table, on which is the letter X. If any player is uncomfortable with anything that is occurring in the game, they need only touch the X-Card, and we will immediately stop that activity with no questions asked. I may, depending on circumstances, take the player who touched the X-Card aside to clarify what exactly it was that we need to stop, but apart from this, there will be no disagreement or bargaining; we will simply drop the problematic topic or behaviour.
The X-Card is a tool created by John Stavropoulos; you can find more information in his original document.
