About me
Howdy y'all, and welcome, you magnificent nerds! I’m DMKilfoot (or DMK, or "Andrew" if you’re my mom, a bill collector, or someone who’s very lost). I’ve been herding cats—ahem, running TTRPGs—for over two decades, which means I’m old enough to remember when "THAC0" wasn’t just a weird noise you make after bad sushi. But hey, age brings wisdom! Or at least really strong opinions about dice rituals. After years of subjecting my friends and family to my nonsense, I’ve decided to branch out and inflict my DMing upon strangers—because let’s be real: strangers are just future accomplices you haven’t roped into a devil’s bargain yet. (From a safe, socially distanced, fully consensual table, of course.) WHAT TO EXPECT AT MY TABLE: - A fiercely LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and beginner-friendly circus. We’re here to punch monsters, talk in questionable accents, and occasionally remember how skill checks work. Respect is non-negotiable. So is laughing when the rogue inevitably sets something on fire. - A DM who’s equal parts "rules lawyer for the people" and "rule of cool advocate. "RAW” is great, but if you want to backflip off a dragon while reciting a sonnet, I’ll at least consider it. (Terms and conditions apply. Void where prohibited. May require a deal with a sketchy fey entity.) - D&D 2024 rules… with a side of homebrew spice. Official content only? Boring. If the options don’t thrill you, I’ll happily Frankenstein something together—just don’t blame me when your sentient spoon familiar develops a god complex. - Safety tools, Session 0s, checklists, and aftercare like a responsible adult. Think of it like emotional seatbelts—we might not crash, but boy howdy, does it feel good knowing they’re there. I make custom maps, plot hooks, and questionable life choices—all professionally presented with a dash of misplaced enthusiasm. So if you’re ready to embrace chaos, tell cool stories, and maybe—remember the plot, let’s roll some dice. Or at least accidentally knock them off the table in dramatic fashion. Game on, you glorious weirdos.

New review
DM Kilfoot has been super fun! He is very considerate of players and player-boundaries while maintaining a compelling 'rule of cool' experience for the players. He uses various tools for immersion, such as kenkuFM and roll20, and makes each NPC unique and delightful. The game I played in was tailored to player tastes and playstyles, so it was easy to stay engaged in the sessions.

Great session zero! really answered player questions and helped us establish a great place for moving forward into our adventure with comfort, creativity, and just a little bit (the right amount) of chaos :)

Look. I’ve been playing in this dude’s campaigns for five years. That’s longer than most fantasy kingdoms survive. And I’m not talking about your “we meet once every six months to pretend we remember the plot” kind of game. I mean weekly carnage, narrative mayhem, and emotional whiplash served with a side of existential dread and at least one cute eldritch party mascot. I’m an author. I’m a DM. I know the dark arts. Which is exactly why I don’t trust just anyone to run a game while I’m a player. Most people? Clown shoes. Andrew? Warlock-tier. He’s the only one I trust not to turn the entire campaign into a morality play about taxes or a three-hour lore dump disguised as “a vision.” Every session is a fever dream with structure. The plots are tight, the improv is surgical, and the worldbuilding is the kind of thing you’d sell a kidney for (and I have—the 90’s were weird, man.) But don’t let the quality fool you—this man is a MENACE. He will take your backstory, wrap it around your neck like a scarf, and drag you to the butthole of emotional hell with it (and you’ll thank him for it.) If you want a professional DM who brings the heat, the heart, and the kind of humor that makes you laugh mid-tragedy, book him. Just don’t expect to be normal afterward. NOBODY who’s survived his campaign worlds is.

Andrew is an awesome DM. I am a button pusher, I can't help myself but push buttons if they are put in front of me. I want to know what happens. And as a DM, he provides me with a lot of buttons. The best part is that the buttons usually have a bit of lore involved with them, either a random piece that doesn't have to do with the main plot or an important piece to continue the main quest.

I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons with Andrew since 2022, after joining a session of Revenge on Old Bone Hand. From the start, it was clear that Andrew - AKA DMK - is a wildly creative, funny, and well-prepared DM. He has a real talent for letting each character shine in their own unique way. His sessions strike a great balance between awesome roleplaying opportunities and inventive, engaging combat encounters. Andrew has a strong grasp of the rules as written, but he also understands when it's best to bend or break them to keep the game fun and immersive for everyone. Whether you're brand new to D&D or a longtime player, I can't recommend Andrew enough as a DM. He's the kind of storyteller and game-runner who makes every session memorable.

I've been a player in DMKilfoot's campaigns for almost two decades. Literally, I've been a player since the beginning when he started running TTRPGs. He's grown a lot as a DM in that time and has come to master his craft. He's inclusive, considerate, and really cares about his players having a fun time. Admittedly, I may be a little biased as I am a relative. However, when I think about those first campaigns he ran compared to the ones he does now, there is a marked improvement. I mean, he's always wanted his players to have fun and an input on the world of the game, but he is a more nuanced and responsive DM now than he was when he first started out. When I came out as Ace, he was quick to adapt and make sure the game felt safe and inclusive for me while allowing other players to have their fun too. Then, when it comes to possible triggers, he's always respectful, does after game check-ins, and provides outs for his players (plus windows and veils [or traffic light system, whatever classification you use] questionnaires as part of session 0). DMKilfoot is friendly for beginning players but works great with experienced ones too (I mean, he puts up with my rules lawyer so ;P). He sets the mood of the story through his storytelling and voices, and he builds some fun worlds that his players have plenty of input on too. He knows the rules but will defer to the Rule of Cool because (at the end of the day) he wants his players to have fun and feel safe.

Homebrew rules
House Rules Attribute options: Standard 15 14 13 11 10 8 Specialized 17 15 13 10 8 6 Inspiration Points. I award a “Heroic Inspiration” at the start of each game if players contribute to the recap of the previous session. I also award a d6 inspiration dice if you answer the session question through your character's perspective. In voice is even better but will not result in additional inspiration. Session Questions I start each session with a question for your character. Think of it as an ice Breaker. It helps us get into the mindset of the characters. Tie Goes to Player If your attack hits an ac directly it hits. If you meet the dc on a save you save. But if an npc attacks the party and meets the ac it fails. Don't worry I'll get ya eventually. Brutal Critical. Scoring a critical hit will allow you to deal the total dice damage of an attack plus a damage roll. Example: Bob the fighter crits with his short sword. He rolls his d6, adds his modifier and then an additional 6 on top of that. Additional Criticals When rolling an attack if your attack beats the npcs act by 10 or more you score an additional critical. If you happen to roll a natural 20 and are 10 over the npcs act you score a double critical. Meaning the dice in the attack are added up twice at their maximum. Example: Bob the fighter scores a critical and an additional critical with his short sword. He rolls his 1d6, adds his modifier and then adds an additional 12 damage for the attack from the 2d6 additional dice. This effect can stack additional times. Opportunity Attacks: Standing up from prone triggers an attack of opportunity. Death Saves: Failed death saving throws are maintained until a long rest, rather than resetting when the character is healed. If a character fails a third save after being brought back up they will die. Death saves are a d20 Roll. 10 or higher is a success. Bless, inspiration, or paladin aura bonus to saves effects death saves. Death saves are rolled in secret. You can message me what you rolled. Multiple Spells a Turn. Spells of level 2 or lower don’t count against the ‘one spell slot spell per turn’ rule. Drinking Potions While in combat, you may drink a potion using a bonus action. If you are drinking a potion of healing, and if you want to recover the full amount of hp you may use your action. Feeding a Potion of Healing While in combat, if you want to heal an ally with a potion of healing you may use a bonus action, or action to do so. Using your action recovers the full amount of hp for the potion. Outside combat drinking potions will not give you the full amount of restoration. Help with Skill Checks Multiple pcs can attempt a skill check if they are proficient. only one pc can help another.

How DMKilfoot creates a safe table
During our Session 0, we will go over what type of game the party want to play, as well as the subject matters involved in that setting. We will go over a safety checklist, and go over what we want to expect and what we don't want in the game. If someone has an issue with something listed above, we can discuss it and if its something that would take away fun for them we can remove it. This is a game, and I want the game to be fun. If something is going to cause you discomfort and you'd like to avoid it we will scrap it. I want to be a safe and fun place for every one, if you have a problem I'd like to know about it so I can hopefully change the issue. We will have time after each session to go over any and all details and have time for questions comments and concerns. We will be touching sensitive subjects with this campaign, and an open and honest party is the best way to address these things. If you want to speak with me privately, we can set up a time, or you can shoot me a message on discord.
