About me
Hello! I’m Ron, a Game Master focused on providing engaging role-playing, exploration, and challenging combat encounters. I customize games to suit player preferences while ensuring they have agency within the D&D pillars. My RPG journey began with AD&D, and I've been running games nearly as long as I've been playing, covering most D&D editions and currently running D&D 5E, Pathfinder 2, and Daggerheart. While I'm no rules encyclopedia, I prioritize "rulings over rules" to keep the game flowing, correcting any missed rules as we go. One of my favorite aspects of RPGs is collaboratively building narratives with players, integrating character backstories into our campaigns, whether homebrew or published. I believe that if you're paying for a DM, you deserve professionalism. I’ll be punctual, prepared, and respectful, treating you as a valued customer. I communicate well and am easily reachable between sessions. For online play, I use tools like Foundry VTT, Roll20, Discord, DNDBeyond, and Demiplane/Pathfinder Nexus. If you’re looking for a fun and satisfying RPG experience, give one of my games a try!

Creating your character
Once a player has joined a campaign, I immediately invite them to the campaign Discord server and begin to discuss the character they want to play. Often, the players' characters are created before the FREE session zero, but if not, we finalize characters at that time. I am very pro-player and have almost no restrictions when it comes to character creation. We will begin at level 1 and use the 2024 rules. However, players may use any WOTC resource (2014 or 2024) to create their character.
