Is it Wednesday yet? Wonderful DM and immersive storyteller. Well prepped sessions and a deep understanding of the world we find ourselves in. Combat is exciting and well-run. PC choices have consequence and creative choices have equally creative consequences.

Casey is hands down the best DM I've ever played with. They are an incredible storyteller, painting a picture along every turn, even thinking deeply into our characters' stories to make fun instances that play into our unique twists. They use a combination of words, inflection, and background music to truly immerse you in what you're doing making you feel like you can really see the world around you. And more than just immersing you into the scene, Casey has a masterful skill to make you think like your character, challenging you to expand your thoughts beyond the character sheet and dice and truly become your character in the moment. I look forward to every game!

This was my first time playing a level 10 character and my return to TTRPGs after a bit of a break, and I couldn't have asked for a better re-entry than with Casey at the helm. The session was incredibly well-prepared and thoughtfully paced, perfectly structured for a one-shot that still offered a satisfying narrative arc and a clear, rewarding conclusion. Casey’s energy remained high and engaging throughout the four-hour session, keeping us immersed and entertained. At no point did the game feel rushed or drag; everything flowed naturally, and the transitions between exploration, combat, and roleplay were seamless. The session felt safe with the other players and was a great creative space to take risks and enjoy the story together. If you’re looking for a polished, immersive, and high-energy one-shot or campaign experience, I highly recommend Casey. I’ll definitely be signing up for more games!

Casey is amazing. The world we were brought into is so alive that I was sucked in from the start. The NPC's were incredible. The combat was brutal, but fair. The collaboration between players and Casey was sublime. Playing DnD is about having fun, but sometimes you get the chance to genuinely make memories. That's what we got to do.

Completed a one shot with Casey. He quickly set the stage and got each player involved immediately. Casey did a great job introducing NPCs including great voice acting for each. He knows the rules very well. Great mix of role playing and fighting. Definitely would play with Casey as GM again.

Casey was a great GM and I would love to play again with them if I have time. Great story telling and environment, fun characters (I will miss Lugrod!), and well balanced combat. The did one of the Slaydium games, which was more combat focused, but he would be a great GM for a roleplaying game as well.

Additional details

How to prepare

Players should know the 5th edition standard D&D rules, have their PC approved before session 00, and have a free membership on Roll20 where we will be running the game. Discord chat is also available. A home set-up that includes a microphone & camera is encouraged but not mandatory. We'll be using milestone achievements to level up, including home-brewed side quests & a core campaign that's been updated with special surprises!

What I provide

I'll bring maps, music, & over a decade's experience providing a gripping narrative that chills the blood. Roll20 will provide the dice rolls. I'll also provide occasional artwork, visual aids, & a vast range of character voices for a 'full cast' of NPCs.

Gameplay details

Lines & Veils sheets are shared with the players to fill out in advance of Session 00. Players can prepare non-human characters with the knowledge that it may impact how they're perceived by xenophobic Barovians. The DM will also check in with players post-game to ensure personal boundaries / comfort zones are never crossed. Just because it's a horror game doesn't mean the *player* should feel unsafe. Our table is LGBTQ-friendly & inclusive.

How will character creation work

Players can bring in their own level 01 PCs for customization & approval. The DM works w/ players to understand their characters and provide a tailored story around them. Alternatively, basic level 01 PC pre-builds will be available for customization as well. It's simply up to the player to provide backstory, personal detail and the 'fingerprints' that bring a character to life.
