Michael Overby aka the blackstag GM

Over the years, I’ve led countless adventurers through the depths of forgotten dungeons, across star-filled galaxies, and into the heart of shadowed city streets. For nearly two decades, I’ve crafted worlds where heroes rise, villains scheme, and the dice decide fates.

As a professional GM for the past 8 years, I’ve had the honor of running games at conventions like FanX, Dragonsteel, LTUE, and SaltCon, as well as at We Geek Together and other venues across Utah. My shelves are lined with an ever-growing collection of TTRPGs—because every game tells a different kind of story, and I love bringing them to life.

I believe tabletop RPGs aren’t just games; they’re living, breathing experiences where players become legends. Whether leading a crew of scoundrels in Blades in the Dark, diving into the noir-drenched mysteries of City of Mist, or shaping the fate of the galaxy in Fantasy Flight’s Star Wars, my goal is always the same: to create unforgettable moments.

Looking ahead, I dream of launching a GM company that sends storytellers across the world to run games and events, and one day, publishing my own TTRPG. Because, at the end of the day, the best stories are the ones we create together.

I Look forward to seeing you at my table, and may all your rolls be crits!
