About me
Matt here! I fell in love with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) playing Dungeons & Dragons in 1989. I was eight years old, over at my friend's house, and their older brother ran the game. Though the game only lasted three weeks, I was hooked on the story, world-building, and absolute joy of the game. However, I couldn't find anyone to run e-games or be a Game Master. So, I accepted that role and turned as many friends I could into players, then began turning any players I could find into friends. My first love is the story and characters, and combat keeps it interesting. For a long time, a company called White Wolf made my favorite games. I ran those for years and gave up on D&D because most people I found at the time liked the rules more than the story, and I could never find people who enjoyed both. Then, Critical Role brought everyone out of the woodwork! After watching their streams along with Relics and Rarities, I started to explore D&D games again. And I couldn't be happier about this! About a year ago, I started making steps to turn my 30 years of experience and passion for D&D into a full-time, sustainable career. In one year, I found terrific players and, by the grace of God, have been able to become a full-time storyteller in the TTRPG space. See you at the table! I hope you will join the games and make amazing friends as we battle and work through fantasy life together.

Without exception, Matt is the best GM I have ever gamed with at StartPlaying. I have never been in games that are as challenging nor as rewarding as the ones he runs are and I am constantly on the edge of my seat during his sessions as a result. He is a master at incorporating player character backstories and decisions into the overall narrative, giving your character a real stake and interest in what is happening around them. He knows how to set a session's mood through the use of music, minis and descriptions, and he allows plenty of time for players to engage in roleplay and character development, as well. Matt is fantastic at offering you phenomenal gaming experiences that are filled with exceptional story elements, dramatic combat encounters and intriguing routes worthy of being explored. In other words, there is something for literally every style of player at his gaming table.

Matt has a way of taking some of the smallest details of your backstory and taking them places that you never thought of. I feel so privileged to have such a cool GM that can roll with the punches when you decide to take a silly shortcut in a dungeon or spontaneously create a whole oneshot when most of the team won't make a session. He really takes time for every session to remind us of safety tools and to highlight things that made our sessions wonderful.

Such a fun GM. He’s great for anyone who’s new or old to RPG’s. If there’s a problem he’s quick to help come up with solutions. He’s all about inclusivity and making sure everyone is heard and feels safe.

Matt is an incredible story teller. I've been playing with him for 3 years. The world he has built feels alive and the choices we make at the table affect the world at large. He works with you to mold your backstory into the overarching story. I can't recommend him more!

Matt is a fantastic GM and storyteller. He creates extraordinary experiences for his players and allows them to explore their characters. He works to incorporate player backstory into the game and checks in with players to make sure everyone is happy with the game's direction. I would recommend Matt to any player of any experience level. I am now playing in three of his campaigns and a very happy with my experiences. Matt’s games are worth every single penny!!
Character creation
Creating your character
During Session 0, we will start character creation. We use a shared array for stats! Characters will start at level 12. They will be created on D&D Beyond
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A Mic is required; we love it when people use a webcam. After you join, I'll send you a link to create a free account on Streamyard, our Zoom-like platform.
What Matt brings to the table
We will have you make a mini on Hero Forge and use that mini in combat, as shown on my professional setup! I bring killer music and set design. You'll find in the games a delightful combination of Rule of Cool and Rules as written. The common denominator will be what works for the table we create together. Each table of mine is different from the other, so as we go through session 0, we will determine what works for us!
