About me
Hi! I'm Sean, a professional GM with over a decade of experience with a passion for crafting unforgettable D&D adventures! I focus on consequence-driven storytelling where your choices genuinely matter. Every decision, every conversation, every action ripples through the campaign. I try andthink of my games as living, breathing stories. I'm merely the narrator but the players light the way. Looking forward to many adventures to come!

Creating your character
The most exciting part! Start with a level 2 character; point buy or standard array for stats. All official content is allowed however if you have a particular UA, Homebrew, or other option you’re interested in please check with me first. If you have no idea what any of this means no worries, just shoot me a message and I’ll help you get sorted!l. Otherwise, we’ll get deep into the character creation process during session 0!
Gwyllion (Cleric), Kainan (Monk), and Amelie (Wizard); drawn together by strange omens in Daggerford, now find themselves trapped within the walls of an ancient manor. Shadows whisper through its halls, secrets lurk behind locked doors, and the mists outside press ever closer. Their path winds deeper into the house… as the ticking of a clock signals the ever enroaching promise of their doom...
What to expect
Preparing for the session
🛠️ How to Prepare 1. Get yourself set up with Discord & a mic (camera strongly recommended if you feel comfortable!) 2. Make a free Roll20 account (I’ll send the game link). 3. Start thinking up your perfect character!
What Sean brings to the table
• The celebrated 2025 “Reloaded” storyline module bringing new depth and intrigue to the original Strahd Storyline • Dynamic-Lighting maps ready to play in Roll20 (over 50 layouts with mood and ambient effect).  • Jukebox playlists for Ravenloft ambience + curated tracks to lean into the vibe. • Tarokka fortune-telling delivered with the built-in digital deck, let your fate be determined by the ancient magics of Barovia! • Prop letters & journal art: over a hundred unique parchment style handouts to be discovered. • She-Is-the-Ancient optional table vote at Session 0: traditional Count or the gender-flipped variant. • Player-centric Session 0: tech walkthrough, safety check-in, and custom hooks that tie your hero to Barovia. • Guaranteed make-up: one missed session per arc is on me if you give 24 h notice.
Homebrew rules
All homebrew options will be discussed during session 0 to make sure everyone is comfortable with what’s included. Some examples of common homebrew rules in my games include: - potions as a bonus action - modified death saving throws - lingering injuries
