About me
"Travis is a great storyteller and integrates player characters into his worlds extremely well. His worlds feel real and it's very easy to get lost in the moment. One of the greatest feelings I have from his games is that I feel that I was there, instead of a quiet observer, I feel my characters have stakes and choices. Travis is a master at group building. He knows the characters well and suggests way to better mesh them together. All in all, it's probably the best experience I've had in D&D" Greetings Adventurers! My name is Travis and I've been makin' magic happen at the tabletop since the 20th century. If you like a fun & immersive table with heroics, traditional fantasy energy, player agency, and light comedy - let's roll the dice together! Accolades: - GenCon '25 - Professional DM (https://www.Deathwish 5e.com) - Winner of Wizard of the Coast's 2025 Homebrew Feat Contest - The Realms Will Know Your Name.(https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/2121-the-realms-now-know-your-name-contest-winners)

Safety
How DM Travis creates a safe table
Safety tools keep everyone at the table comfortable, so the focus can stay on the game we all love! Breaks: We will take a 5min break roughly every hour. Feel free to take a break whenever needed, too! X-Card: Players can anonymously display an X card on the VTT game canvas if a topic comes up that makes them uncomfortable during play. If/when that happens - we simply fast forward or audible and get right back into play. Players can expect to go through a quick introduction & tutorial before play begins. We will discuss safety tools and topics to avoid during that time.
