About me

Adam (Legend Weaver) has been playing Dungeons and Dragons since elementary school. Since then, he's played several different role-playing games, both in-person and online. He spent several years running a Vampire LARP in his city and has hundreds of hours of storytelling and game-running experience. Critical Role brought him back to the world of Dungeons and Dragons, and he enjoys being both behind the screen and in the trenches with other players. As an actor and singer, Adam enjoys telling stories, and this just adds to the list of stories he can help tell. He uses his theatre training to add creative NPCs and descriptions to enhance the player experience as much as possible. We now have a Discord Community server!

What GM Adam, dba Legend Weaver brings to the table

My games feature ambient music, relative attempts at changing up my voice to represent different characters, and a general Rule of Cool vibe. Expect a table that leans heavily on roleplay to drive the narrative.
