About me
Professional Dungeon Master | 6+ Years Experience | 8 Active Campaigns Weekly Hey there! I’m Matt (Lumbear)! At this point in my early 30s I have collected a variety of subclasses; Canadian, Husband, Father of 2, and Dungeon master for 30+ For the past six years, I’ve been running professional D&D games on Roll20, currently managing eight weekly campaigns set in my dark fantasy homebrew world: Iron and Shackles. If you’re looking for a game that values story, immersion, and consistency, you’ve come to the right place. What You Can Expect from My Games A Deep, Original Setting: Iron and Shackles offers a brutal and grounded reimagining of D&D’s classic tropes; a world where humanity’s rise to power has left scars on the land and its people. Every session builds on that legacy, exploring both heroism and consequence. A Reliable, Invested DM: Each game is fully prepped, on schedule, and focused on making sure every player gets their moment to shine. I treat my sessions like events; not just game nights. Professional Production Quality: Every encounter features custom maps, dynamic lighting, animated assets, and immersive soundscapes. You’ll feel like you’re stepping into a living world. Streamlined Play: My games run dozens of API scripts that keep combat fast, intuitive, and fun; less bookkeeping, more adventuring. Heroic, Flexible Homebrew: Custom rules empower you to fight and act like true heroes, offering tactical depth and narrative flair without slowing down play. A Welcoming Community: Join a network of players who share your passion for story-driven, cooperative roleplay. We grow, laugh, and suffer together; all in the name of adventure. If this sounds like the kind of game you’ve been searching for, add me on Discord: lumbear or send me a PM here on Roll20. Looking forward to rolling some dice with you in Iron and Shackles!

What Lumbear brings to the table
I provide an immersive, story-driven game with professional maps, dynamic lighting, custom tokens, handouts, ambient music, and sound effects to bring the world to life. I enjoy character voices and creating memorable NPCs. Combat is a mix of tactical challenges and cinematic moments, rewarding creativity and teamwork without becoming a slog. I use the rules as written as a foundation, but I strongly embrace the Rule of Cool when players come up with something clever. Most importantly, your choices matter. Your successes, failures, relationships, and decisions can have lasting consequences, making your character an important part of the world.
