About me
Hi there prospective adventurer and welcome to my page. Thank you for considering me as your DM. My games are all about the journey: from battling through a goblin-infested cavern to deciphering the cryptic lore of a forgotten temple. We will explore ancient ruins, brave deadly dungeons, and forge legends that will define your character's story. I first cut my teeth on the tense atmosphere and rich narrative of TTRPGs with Call of Cthulhu and Alien, which taught me the power of strong roleplaying, high-stakes decisions, and evocative world-building. That experience grounded my love for storytelling before the incredible success of Baldur's Gate 3 finally pulled me into the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Now, I'm an enthusiastic Dungeon Master focused on running dynamic, engaging campaigns on Roll20.

Creating your character
You can build your character before or during session 0. I am always happy to help my players craft a backstory that ties their character to the adventure and the world. Available Resources: You’ll have full access to my Roll20 library, including: Player’s Handbook (2014) Xanathar’s Guide to Everything Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons
What to expect
Preparing for the session
To ensure we can jump straight into the action, please have the following ready before Session 0: Accounts: You will need a free Discord account (for voice/communication) and a free Roll20 account (for our virtual tabletop). Hardware: A reliable internet connection and a decent microphone are required. I prefer to keep the game immersive, so a quiet environment or a headset is highly recommended! Character Concepts: You don't need a finished sheet! Just come with 1 or 2 "seeds" of an idea—perhaps a disgraced knight from Rasfadal or a scholar obsessed with the lost mine. We will build the actual mechanics together in the Charactermancer. Bring an open mind and a sense of adventure. You don't need to be a D&D expert and I am happy to teach the system as we go.
What Keith brings to the table
Full Library Access: You don't need to buy any books. I share my Roll20 Pro library (PHB, Tasha’s, Xanathar’s, etc.) with all players. The Lost Mine of Phandelver Module with all its maps and magic items! Professional maps of Rasfadal created by the amazing artist Daniël Hasenbos.
Homebrew rules
This campaign uses a modified rest and resource system to balance the "Adventuring Day" math across multi-day journeys. This ensures that martial classes and casters remain equal in utility and powers.

Safety
How Keith creates a safe table
Your comfort is my priority. I run a table where everyone can enjoy the story without stress. We use a combination of industry-standard tools to ensure the game remains fun for everyone: Session 0: We’ll discuss boundaries, triggers, and the tone of the game before we ever roll a die. X, N, & O Cards: These are handled digitally and privately via Discord. If a scene becomes uncomfortable, you can signal me instantly with no questions asked and we will pivot or fade to black. Aftercare: I stay in the Discord for 15 minutes after every session for a debrief. It’s a space to discuss the session, highlight "stars and wishes," or chat about any concerns.
