About me
Hey! I'm Liam. When I’m not managing a class of 9-year-olds, I’m running games as a Dungeon Master, delving into the Forgotten Realms and beyond with both one-shots and full campaigns. I regularly run in-person games at local stores, Board Game Cafés and even a few sessions in a medieval castle! When I’m not rolling dice in person, I run games on Roll20 and my Discord server, where one of my groups spans two continents and is now starting their second campaign with me! My sessions are usually light-hearted, Filled with interesting encounters, usually a bit of combat and a good story to keep you hooked. But if you and your party fancy something darker, I’m always happy to bring in some horror and dread to keep you on your toes! One of my favourite modules to run is Wild Beyond The Witchlight as that is a fantastic exploration into the Feywild and is filled with heightened emotions of all kinds. It is my greatest joy to tell stories and I am always excited to find out what story a party will help me craft next! For One-Shot Bookings I can do 4, 6 or 8 hour sessions depending on what you are looking for. 4 hours - $17.50 per player 6 hours - $27.50 per player 8 hours - $35 per player

Players say this GM is great at:
Inclusive
Creativity
Storytelling
This was an amazing first meeting with not only the party but Liam as a GM kept the game interesting and was very forgiving with the group in terms of rules and explaining any misunderstandings. I would recommend anyone interested in playing to join his one offs, jump into one of his campaigns or grab a bunch of friends and request Liam to GM.
The first words that come to mind when I think about Liam as a GM are Fun, Story Driven, Inclusive and Fantastic at delivering emotional beats in his games. I've played with him for over a year and have always been impressed with his prep work, ever evolving skill set and openness for communication. If you want an approachable DM that will help your table weave a story that you can't wait to keep coming back to, Liam is your DM!

How LiamLivesOn creates a safe table
The content warnings describe things that may be touched upon. Before the game I will chat with you regarding lines and veils that you may have and I will fully take that into account for the session. During the session there will be at least one group break and you are welcome to take a break at any time if needed, no questions asked. If you are feeling uncomfortable you can ask me to pause but speaking to me in the chat or privately messaging me through the discord or Roll20. I will also be available after the session to chat about how it went and how you found it, this can be both with the group on One-on-One with myself if you wish to say something confidential.
