About me

Greetings, adventurers! I’m Allan, a lifelong Dungeon Master with a passion for heroic fantasy. I’ve been rolling dice and weaving tales since 1978, guiding players through epic campaigns from original AD&D to 5e—and even Pathfinder. I thrive on immersive storytelling, tactical combat, and heroic quests where player choice shapes the fate of the world. I specialize in customized and handcrafted campaigns that bring every session to life. Expect richly detailed full-color maps, thematic music that sets the mood, and unique voices for every NPC and intelligent monster you encounter. I also run sessions on my custom virtual tabletop, Keep It Lit, available for free on Steam, designed to enhance play without distracting from the story. Whether you’re a roleplay-focused hero or a combat strategist, I aim to create unforgettable adventures where every decision matters. We’ll journey together through dungeons, battlefields, and kingdoms—all while keeping the story epic, the stakes high, and the experience immersive. Sessions are held via Discord for seamless audio and video interaction. Step into the adventure… your story awaits!

Safety

How DM Allan creates a safe table

This is standard D&D. I do not subscribe to all the recent concerns suggesting that DMs walk on eggshells and tap dance around every issue that might trigger someone. If you liked Lord of the Rings, killing monsters, saving the day, being the heroes, and playing D&D as it was intended, this game will work for you.
