Mike

I’m Mike, co-host and GM of RoleWise, a podcast and YouTube channel dedicated to exploring the weird, wonderful, and mechanically interesting corners of tabletop RPGs. For years, I’ve been running games that prioritize narrative texture and emergent storytelling, from indie darlings like Dolmenwood and Mothership to deeper dives into adventure modules and campaigns. I’m fascinated by game design as craft, the architecture of compelling encounter design, and how systems shape the stories we tell. When I’m not prepping sessions or running our actual plays, I’m thinking about film, narrative structure, and how TTRPGs pull off things no other medium can. I’m excited to back projects that push the hobby forward.
