About me
I’ve been playing and DMing TTRPGs for over 16 years, and I love helping players create unforgettable stories together. My deepest experience is in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, but I’ve also run and played in a variety of systems including Daggerheart, Masks, D&D 4e, Epyllion, and more. At my table, the focus is on collaborative storytelling, immersive roleplay, and exciting encounters that challenge both characters and players in fun, memorable ways. Whether you’re a brand-new adventurer or a seasoned hero, I want to make sure everyone has a chance to shine. My games are inclusive, beginner-friendly, and LGBTQ+ friendly — I want players to feel welcome, comfortable, and celebrated for who they are. I love running for a mix of play styles, from tactical combat lovers to roleplay-heavy storytellers, and I tailor each game to the group’s vibe. If you’re looking for a DM who brings energy, flexibility, and a love of cinematic storytelling, I’d be excited to roll some dice with you!

Creating your character
Make your character on Demiplane at level 2. Characters need to be finished at least an hour before the game. Premade characters will be available. Message me if you need any help with it.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Make sure you have a Discord and Roll20 account. We will be using Discord for the video chat and music, and Roll20 for the virtual battle map. You will also need a Demiplane account to access the character sheets (I can share my content with you if you do not have the books).
What Johnathan (@d6HitDice) brings to the table
I've been playing Daggerheart for the year that it's been out, but have 17 years of TTRPG experience total. I play music to provide ambience during the game session to immerse us more fully. I enjoy the Rule of Cool when it is fitting. I want to create awesome stories with you! I try my best to make unique voices for my NPCs.
