About me
Greetings, I'm Cake! I'm your easy going facilitator of both in-person and online quests in Dungeons and Dragons 5e, Daggerheart, & Call of Cthulhu. I've been a storyteller my whole life, but about six years ago I fell in love with the TTRPG medium & I haven't looked back! The art of creating adventures and crafting tales has captivated me since my childhood & now that I've found TTRPGS, these wild ideas have been evolving into handcrafted memorable campaigns. I like to blend fantasy, horror, & humor into a a few hours of gaming where we can just sink into our characters & the scenes. Shared storytelling is one of my favorite things about TTRPGs, as a DM, I set up the world & you knock it down, sometimes literally... Join me on our collective journey through thrilling escapades, where laughter, challenges, and unforeseen surprises await. Together, we'll co-create stories and forge memories to live in our hearts forever.

I am a newer player and Cake was wonderful about helping me set up my character and info on Roll20. I felt very comfortable at his digital table and we had a great time playing this one-shot. I was unsure about finding games online since my previous groups have all been in person, but Cake was very welcoming and helped keep the game balanced so every player got a chance to shine 🥳

If I could give 10 stars I would! I have played many sessions with Cake for the past few months and... wow! The world building, the NPCs, the lore, creativity and so so so much more. I have loved every moment of every campaign and one shot adventure. If you like challenging encounters, great RP, and engaging story telling, then look no further! I would 100% recommend joining any of the amazing adventures Cake has planned. I can only choose 3 tags so I'm adding more here :) (Allows for player creativity, Knows the Rules, Rule of Cool, Good for beginners, Incredible Visual Aids, Amazing and fun voices, World Builder) *The list continues...*

Cake is a very friendly, fun, and patient DM. His uses maps and music effectively, his NPCs are entertaining, and he gives players plenty of opportunities for creative roleplay. I felt comfortable that the adventure was in good hands. I look forward to playing with him again!

Cake is an incredible GM. In fact, he's my first and only that I've played with. Cake was incredibly patient with me when I began as a baby DnD player. He is flexible, fun, and very creative with his story telling and gameplay. I'm now on my third campaign with Cake and have no plans on leaving any time soon (you're stuck with me Cake).
