About me

Hi there! I’m Archon, your Dungeon Master, bringing over 6 years of D&D 5e experience and a lifetime immersed in fantasy worlds. I love crafting immersive stories, introducing new players to the magic of tabletop RPGs, and tailoring adventures to fit each player's unique style and character. My campaign seats are priced for two simple reasons: 1. Quality matters. Every campaign is set in a custom-built world with living, breathing NPCs and dynamic storylines that weave your character’s decisions—big or small—into the very fabric of the narrative. What you do matters, and it shows. 2. A better table for everyone. My players are invested, engaged, and genuinely excited to play. The result? A welcoming, energetic, and unforgettable gaming experience. From epic inspirations like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones to the whimsical charm of Pooh Bear and Pokémon, I bring creativity and passion to every session. With Roll20, D&D Beyond, and Discord, my games are smooth, interactive, and seamless. My games—and my Discord—are proudly LGBTQ+ and female-friendly spaces, where respect is a must and inclusivity thrives. Ready to adventure? Roll initiative and let’s create some unforgettable magic together!

What Archon brings to the table

My GM style is a dynamic blend of immersive storytelling, tactical combat, and player-driven exploration.

With a lifetime of fantasy inspiration and proficiency in platforms like Roll20 and D&D Beyond, my games are seamless and visually captivating.
