Undead Vacation

I've been running homebrew Dungeons & Dragons campaigns since 2016, and what started as a hobby has grown into something I never imagined: a full-time career bringing people together to tell incredible stories, roll dice, and occasionally make some truly terrible decisions. My journey as a DM actually began with a pretty awful experience as a player. Shortly after learning D&D, I joined a game I found online. The DM treated the game like a competition against his players, and it showed. Nobody seemed to be having fun except him. I never went back. Instead, I started my own campaign with one simple goal: **make sure everyone at the table has a great time.** Nearly a decade later, that philosophy hasn't changed. I've had the pleasure of introducing kids and teenagers to D&D, running homebrew campaigns at The Kobold Lounge, and sharing hundreds of adventures with players from all walks of life. Since joining StartPlaying, I've turned my passion into my profession, running hundreds of sessions and earning recognition as a Top GM in 2026. My style is heavily focused on player freedom, creativity, and collaborative storytelling. I'm a sandbox DM at heart. I build living worlds filled with complicated characters, political intrigue, dangerous enemies, and plenty of opportunities for things to go spectacularly wrong. My campaigns can be dark, ridiculous, emotional, or downright chaotic, sometimes all in the same session. I love creative players. Got a bizarre character concept? An unusual subclass? Some ridiculous scheme that probably shouldn't work? Bring it to my table. I'm much more interested in finding a way to make your ideas work than telling you why they can't. I put an enormous amount of work into building my world, Arcanemia, and the adventures that take place within it. But the most important part of any campaign will always be the people playing it. Your characters' choices matter, your actions have consequences, and your stories help shape the world around you. $$ A quick note about pricing $$ If money is an obstacle, please reach out. This is how I make my living, and I've worked hard to get here, but I never want finances to be the only reason someone can't enjoy a game. I can't promise I'll always be able to accommodate everyone, but I'm happy to have that conversation. At the end of the day, I'm still doing this for the same reason I started in the first place: I love D&D, I love the people I've met playing it, and there's nothing quite like getting a group of people together for three hours of absolute nonsense and unforgettable storytelling. I hope to see you at one of my tables soon, and may all your 20s be natural!
