About me
I’m a USAF Veteran who found a second home in tabletop games. During my tour in Germany, I was voluntold by my work mates to Dungeon Master because they all wanted to learn D&D, but not willing to Dungeon Master themselves. Little to say, I had no Idea what I was getting into....But I fell in love with the craft. As the social group started relocating around the world, I converted my skills to the world of the internet and dedicated myself to mastering the art of VTT. I always had a love for retro video games, but D&D expanded that passion. I found myself pouring into the craft and philosophy behind the classic models of 1st edition. I wanted to experience the adventures that set the standard and shaped D&D what is today, and more importantly, I weanted my players to experience it a well. Now, I bring those legendary stories back from the dead, to keep the legacy alive for modern audiences to experience!

What Vanny brings to the table
I use my favorite VTT, Foundry for my games. I pride myself in crafting scenes using high-quality maps, animated effects, soundeffects and music created by talented artists in the TTRPG community. I offer a free Session 0 for every group. During Session 0, we’ll build or finalize your character, walk through the basics of Foundry if you’re new, go over table rules and expectations, and talk about the kind of story you want to experience. We’ll also cover safety tools, playstyle preferences, and make sure everyone is on the same page before the adventure begins.

How Vanny creates a safe table
Player comfort and safety are a top priority at my table. During the game, players can message me privately at any time to express any concerns. Additionally, using X, N, & O signals by chat, voice, or even holding something up on camera to instantly communicate discomfort is always welcomed. No explanation is ever required in the moment.
