About me
Hi! I’ve been playing D&D since 1998 and have been a DM for two decades now. I do full voice acting and try to provide a quality, immersive experience for everyone involved. I have hard and soft limits for all my players that will be established in session 0 to give everyone a fun and inclusive environment. My preferred platform to game on is D&D beyond since it is what I am most comfortable with. My style of DM is as close to RaW as possible (2024 PHB), but with allowances to abide by the “rule of cool” sometimes
