Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
All players get their sessions discounted at a dollar value equal to their character's proficiency bonus. Listed session charge already reflects this discount. Please note - a webcam is required for this game in order to establish an environment that mirrors the real world as best we can. If privacy is a concern, I am happy to help you set up a blurred background or green screen background image - just ask! Character Creation: Current party level: 15 (Created in D&D Beyond using the 2014 character options) 🎲 Point Buy (with an option to roll* during session 0) ❤️ Rolled* HP 🌕 Send me a wishlist of magic items and I'll let you know! *Rolls must be witnessed by DM Travis

Travis takes a very thorough approach to what he does in a game - immersive atmosphere, collaborative relationships with his players, and a genuine desire to make sure people are having a safe, fun time. As a neurodivergent player who struggles sometimes with social interaction, he's gone out of his way (as do the other players at his table) to let me ease into being a part of the game, and he listens to his players about the things we do and do not prefer at the table. He is absolutely worth your time and treasure to play with.

I had the pleasure of playing in DM Travis's Ghosts of Saltmarsh campaign, and it was an exceptional experience. He excels at creating an immersive atmosphere, blending compelling voice acting with curated atmospheric music that truly brings the world to life. Travis is not only a talented storyteller but also incredibly kind and professional. He fosters a collaborative environment and is always open to feedback and suggestions from the players, ensuring everyone feels heard and valued. His technical expertise in running games through FoundryVTT is top-notch. From dynamic maps to seamless mechanics, he shows mastery over the platform and patiently teaches those new to the system. If you’re looking for a DM who combines immersive storytelling, technical proficiency, and a supportive gaming environment, Travis is an outstanding choice. Highly recommended!

Travis does a well thought out job of taking you through an immersive DnD experience. As professional and top notch as they come.

This was my first experience with an online DM I didn't know in person and Travis has made it a great experience! Keeps it simple yet helps navigate the new systems of Foundry and the new D&D 2024 changes. Definitely worth trying and enjoyed the animations and voice overs and creativity as well.
