About me
Hey there, Adventurers! I'm Paladin - professional Game Master, owner of Paladin's Archives, and current world record holder for longest continuous TTRPG session (440.5 hours). I've built my entire career around creating exceptional D&D experiences. I self-publish adventures, stream on Twitch, and run professional games that players remember years later. This isn't a side hobby - it's my passion turned profession. I live and breathe Foundry VTT. I created my own custom database system that makes character creation lightning-fast and seamless. Expect cinematic lighting, perfectly timed ambient music, and automations that handle the mechanics so we can focus on the story. No fumbling with tech when we should be having epic moments. I also created my own system on Notion to enhance the experience and leave more time for doing what we love. I craft experiences, not just sessions. Every NPC has deep lore and purpose. Every story arc connects meaningfully. I focus heavily on the relationships between characters and the ongoing narrative threads that make campaigns memorable. My games balance tactical combat with rich roleplay. Whether you're completely new to D&D or a seasoned veteran, you'll find challenge, growth, and stories worth telling. I teach new players patiently and give veterans the depth they crave. Feel free to reach out to on Discord: gamemasterpaladin
