About me
Want a DM who can elevate your D&D game to amazing new heights? You've found them. I'm Casey, your professional DM. I'm the DM other DMs like to play with. As a gifted voice actor with years of experience, I inject life & character into my NPCs. That's just the start. As a TV & Film writer, I know how to draw your PC into the narrative, their backstory, wants & goals, for a 100% tailor-made playing experience. I also bring immersive music, sensory-filled narration, and a creative mind trained for improv. If you want deep character RP or wacky adventures, my games are full of chances to role-play, solve mysteries, and face monsters in inventive ways. At our table, rulebooks come second to Good Storytelling. Exploration & RP outweigh combat, but it plays a fun part! Come for a *spooky* good time, I love scaring PCs with frights tailored around their Lines & Veils. (You're always, *always* going to be safe at my table.) My inclusive, easy-going style guarantees an incredible experience for players of all kinds. I look forward to telling amazing stories with you!

View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
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.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
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 Casey brings to the table
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.

How Casey creates a safe table
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.
