What I Do

TTRPGs are great, allowing for so much creativity and excitement, and with a talented Game Master, they can be even better. I have over 5 years of experience in running games, and for your session, you really want someone with experience and the skill to elevate your roleplaying experience to the next level. I believe above all else in player agency and the joy that playing these types of games can bring.

This is a service where I will run exciting, custom-written adventures in a wide variety of different RPG systems. Read through the adventures and choose which one sounds the coolest to you!

Games

Below is a list of all games you can play. Schedule your session today!

Dungeons & Dragons, 5th Edition Logo

Dungeons and Dragons (5th Edition)

The tabletop roleplaying game that everyone has heard of, and that everyone loves! Adventurers of high regard, death-defying combat, magical mystery. Gods, gold and glory!

Heist of the Primordial Falcon

A classic heist adventure where you and a team of talented thieves must infiltrate a falcon sanctuary and circumvent various bird-themed challenges and security measures laid out by the meticulous Lord Greenly in order to procure the esteemed (and very valuable) Primordial Falcon. Watch your head!

The Onslaught

You and your party are a team of revolutionaries fighting a near-unwinnable war against the overwhelming force of the Bureaucracy. Your group has just intercepted communications from the enemy that the SOR Onslaught, a dangerous warship, is scheduled to arrive, unaccompanied, on Loryson Isle. You and your men arrive on Loryson Isle three days in advance. On the fourth day, the enemy will storm the beach, 150 strong. You have 10. Prepare for the fight of your life.

Racing to Rig Rock

A western/post-apocalyptic, high throttle race where your group will customize their own rig (car) and race to the finish line against a cast of wacky characters for a chance to win the grand prize! Don’t forget your dusters and cowboy hats!

Still as Stone

A very traditional D&D style adventure where you and a group of unlikely traveling companions meet in a tavern, investigate a mystery, fight through a dungeon, solve puzzles, and collect some sweet loot. The only thing that throws this all for a loop is the headless necromancer in the corner…

The Temple of Tarr-Bäog

Delve deep into the ancient halls of a long-abandoned dwarven temple, in search of the secret to eternal life. Take caution, adventurers, for there lurks within these crumbling halls a terrible troll, intent on devouring your bones. Will you solve the clues left for you by the ancient dwarven priest, and uncover the secret, or will the temple’s dangers claim your life? Play to find out!

Wrath of the Pact Kraken

You and a team of intrepid hunters are about to undergo the adventure of a lifetime, not out of want, but out of necessity. An eldritch terror is rising from the depths of the Nuráncar Deep, gathering mindless followers wherever it roams, and your party has been assembled to stop it. Figure out what makes the Pact Kraken tick, track it down, and put an end to its foul campaign.

Monster of the Week game logo

Monster of the Week

Ever seen Supernatural, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Yeah, that’s Monster of the Week. You and a group of colorful hunters will work together to slay a powerful monster. All in a day’s work!

2170

A neofuturistic noir/thriller where you play a team of detectives in a godless world, working to solve the case of a serial killer who seems almost too clever to catch. The smog chokes whatever sunlight might remain, shrouding this dying world in shadow. Danger lurks beyond every corner. Time travel and mystery abound.

A Wicked Temptation

Work together to solve the mystery related to the disappearance of several dozen women over the course of the last twenty years. Something just isn’t right in this county, and it’s up to your group to dig up the conspiracy, and save the most recent victim, before it’s too late. Telling you what kind of monster is behind all of this might give it away, but the title is a hint...

Creepy Crawlies

Sewer maintenance came to a halt when something slimy and gross dragged a construction worker screaming into the depths of the sewer system. Something was disturbed, and needs to be taken care of if construction is to continue. Flashlights recommended. And nose plugs.

Doggy’s Day Out

Uh oh! Cerberus, the guard dog of Hades, has escaped from the Underworld, and it is up to your group of hunters to track him down and safely return him to Hades before all the souls of the dead return to the living world! Travel across the American south on a perilous mission in this modern day mythological tale of whimsy and wonder.

The Flowering Fear

Something is amiss in the small desert town of Buffalo Junction. Late last night, the sheriff stumbled into a gas station and pitched over dead. His entire body was almost devoid of moisture, and his eyes were blank and listless. Play as a team of hunters who are used to investigating the strange and the paranormal… It doesn’t get much stranger than this

tremulus game logo

tremulus

A maddening adventure set in the 1900s, where normalcy belies the eldritch truth. Based around the tenets of Lovecraftian cosmic horror, tremulus is sure to frighten and excite through tense situations, unnatural mysteries, and terrifying creatures. Feeling the madness yet? No? You will...

Elkridge Malevolence

Nicodemus Garland believes he is being watched, like a lion watches an antelope. He feels eyes peering into the back of his skull when he’s alone in his office. He’s the dean of Elkridge University, and he is slowly going mad with paranoia. Play as the unfortunate souls who slowly unravel a dire plot, and deal with the cult at its center. What ritual are they planning? Why him? We play to find out...

Thing From the Snow

Something massive moves through the blizzardy air, just beyond the discernable distance. Folks have reported wolf attacks all over Dewhurst, but this is no wolf. The bite marks are too large, the tracks are too big—and, you could have sworn wolves don’t have multiple heads. This is a tale of maturation; something is growing up in the cold New England town of Dewhurst, and you don’t want to see what happens when it finishes its dreadful cycle.

A Fog Most Foul

The town of Dewhurst has been snowed in by a massive blizzard for almost two weeks now; the largest snowstorm in the town’s history. All communication and transport to the outside world has been cut off. And it’s showing no signs of stopping any time soon. And the people within the town are slowly going mad together. The constable has been inordinately cruel, the mayor overwhelmingly incompotent, and the criminal underworld incredibly antsy. It’s up to you, a group of above-average people, to help unbury Dewhurst from its own insanity.

The Madness Submerged

During the Cold War, 1962, a team of American scientists and soldiers was sent to the Arctic Ocean in a state-of-the-art submarine, called the USS Erebus, to investigate strange seismic activity suspected of being a secret communist drilling operation. Their expectations were exceeded when they got more than they bargained for, and realized that it would cost them everything. Become the crew in their fight for survival against both the mundane and the mythical as you witness the Madness Submerged.

Dungeon World game logo

Monsters all over, quests to quest, treasure to loot and adventure to be had! Enter the Dungeon World, a fantastical setting full of mysterious ancient ruins and rare magical artifacts. The only limit to the fun is our collective imagination!

The Icy Tomb

Delve deep into the tomb of old North-King Svarig the Daring as you seek to uncover his magical crown. Just be careful of the ice zombies! And the ghosts inhabiting the tomb. And the ice giants. And the bandit clans. And the dire mammoths. And the…

Scum & Villainy game logo

Scum & Villainy

Join our ragtag band of criminals in a space opera adventure where you fight to survive under the oppressive fist of the Galactic Hegemony. Daring stunts, mystical powers, weird tech, and a trusty ship to see you through it. Can you come out on top, or will the criminal world chew you up and spit you out?

Make your characters, choose a ship, then play through the first mission that the book offers, plus a few random encounters from your past. Earn cred, bolster your reputation, pull off exciting maneuvers, and have fun doing it!

Shop Talk

Sessions are $20 buy-in per person (usual session is 4-6 hours, character creation is included). Payment accepted over Venmo. Maximum of 5 players per session (otherwise it just gets crazy).

We can play one of the one shot adventures I’ve already written, or I can write something to your group’s specifications but that will cost $30 extra.

I use Discord (for voice chat) and Roll20 (for tabletop + dice), both are free to make accounts.

Endorsements from My Players

Sage is a fantastic GM! His world building is always thorough and so expansive. He invests so much time into planning for his games and it shows during play. Every moment is super enthralling and leaves you desperate for another session!
Abby C.
Sage has come up with better stories and characters than any GM I’ve ever had and can get great roleplay out of any player. He manages groups smoothly and ties things together in very satisfying ways. His encounters are very creative and he allows creative responses and strategies in turn giving so much freedom with how you play.
Andrew J.
Sage makes entire worlds that are thought out and complex while still being fun and letting you add to said world. And he’s done entire parts of sessions improvised, which are always the funniest. Great character acting and improv skills!
Jonathan F.
Sage is the most engaging and welcoming GM I have ever played with. He strives to make all his players feel welcome and important. He makes play very funny, but loves to cook up engaging horror and thriller plots. I highly recommend that players seeking strong engagement and immersion play with Sage.
