About me
Hello everyone, I am Michael and I have been a Dungeon Master for four years, in that time I have ran over ten campaigns for many new players and have one on going for the past two years. I enjoy having a laugh at my games and letting players discover the world that awaits them and all it's secrets. As a DM I like to help create stories with my players that brings them the most amount of fun while playing. I see myself as a DM that views the rules as more of guidelines and will work around them to create a interesting game with my players. I focus mainly on 5th edition modules with my own little twist and homebrew ideas to make our games just a bit more of a unique experience. I enjoy playing with both new comers and veterans to the game to create a fun and safe space to enjoy D&D. I will also work to ensure that it is a safe space for all players. So let us start an adventure together, what do you say?

How DungeonMike creates a safe table
0️⃣ You can go over rules and safety tools before the session, and I am happy to accommodate your needs! ◦ First we will discuss character creation and backstory in the town of "Jingle Village". ◦ Then go over the things you will need to prepare for the campaign. ◦ Finally we set expectations for the open door policy as well as breaks. 📞 I will check in with players regularly, and can be reached out of sessions. 🚫 Disrespectful, hurtful, hateful speech or behavior is zero tolerance 🧝 As an actor I favor Roleplay encounters so if you enjoy that you will have fun. 🐲 You will face a wide range of different enemies in combat, and a lot of gingerbreads. 💀 This is a dangerous adventure, character death is a possibility.
