About me
Hi, Iโm Matthew! Iโve been running D&D since 2018 and specialize in creating welcoming, story-driven games where players feel comfortable jumping in and contributing right away. As a teacher, Iโve introduced dozens of players to D&D and focus on making the game easy to learn while still engaging for experienced players. My tables are beginner-friendly, supportive, and designed to help everyone feel confident roleplaying and making meaningful choices. I run a mix of published campaigns and custom adventures, with a balance of roleplay, combat, and player-driven storytelling. I aim to build consistent groups where players can relax, have fun, and create memorable moments together each week. If youโre looking for a reliable game with a friendly group and a DM who will help you get the most out of your character, youโll fit right in.

Creating your character
Pre-made characters are provided. The characters include art, small backstories, ability cards, and character sheets. You can print them out, or you can use the Demiplane Nexus website and update the character sheet while we play. If you would like to create your own character, I can answer questions and assist you before the game.

How Matthew creates a safe table
I will go over the expectations for conduct that will apply for both players and GM before the game. The game can also be paused any time if a player feels uncomfortable, or any other reason. I am happy to adjust the game on the fly to make sure all parties feel safe.
