About me
WELL MET. Let me introduce myself, I am DM Grendel. Irish born, dyslexic, oral storyteller and lover of role playing games. They remind me of sitting round a fire with a group of friends creating new storys. I am not an actor or voice actor and don’t expect my players to be either. I am more interested in the adventures we creat together. I have been DMing since the mid 80s, forever GM on D&D, Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel Superheroes and Vampire Masquerade among others. I am a world traveler, this has given me great insight on real world exploration, adventuring, different cultures and languages. Another string to my bow is I am a practitioner of martial arts both hand to hand and weapons giving me interesting perspectives in combat. I am trained in counselling skills and hold several qualifications in “safe guarding” for working with vulnerable people and groups. I volunteer with the blind and run games for both sighted and visually impaired players. My games are both tolerant and inclusive.

How Grendle creates a safe table
I enjoy running official D&D modules to explore the rich lore of the forgotten realms and beyond. I focus on player centric games where we work on creating new storys together. Using official D&D world as a backdrop means we can concentrate on players characters and the storys we are developing. We start our campaign with a game zero to ensure we create a safe and enjoyable game for all, where I will be employing my counselling skills to write a social contract that we all agree upon. Including what safe guards, safety tools and game mechanics we will be using within the game.
