Hey welcome to the new look of my blog. The old name stank and while brainstorming with ChattyDM] - I was aiming for "Meta Dungeon Master's Inn" and talking about my attempt at playing a "heavy metal bard", the name "Heavy Meta DM" came up.
If you don't know me, all you need to know is that besides everything else, I enjoy being a Dungeons & Dragons (tm) dungeon master... Meaning that I enjoy sharing time with buddies, inventing fantastic stories with them.
Being an analyst and an engineer, I love game mechanics - enough for me to often be thinking about the game while playing it, trying to understand how it works, how to make it better.
This is basically what we call "meta" in games : thinking about a game as a game.
I love role playing and as a DM, I love to try and make the game interesting for all my (greatly varied) buddies... Thinking "too much" about how to make this happen is when I get to be the "Heavy Meta DM".
(And I sing much better than I play guitar)
So come on in! But mind the walls - the paint is still drying around here.
