Sam's Castle High

I have been playing D&D as a player and a DM for over twenty years. I have a passion for writing, storytelling, and fantasy games that I would love to share with others. I have experience as a Game Master for D&D 2nd, 3rd (3.5), 4th, and 5th Editions as well as Pathfinder 1st and 2nd Editions, many different variants of World of Darkness games (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Geist, and Hunter), several Star Wars systems, GURPS, and a pile of other Tabletop Roleplaying Games. My DMing style usually involves me learning about my player's characters and developing plots around them together with the player. As a result, my games are generally free-form, interactive, and personalized. I always ask that my players put thought and effort into their character's backgrounds, personalities, relations, and potential future plots/adventures. In turn, I take these elements and use them to build fun and exciting plotlines for your characters to experience! I have written and published a couple of novels based on some of the games I have run in the past and was once a co-writer for a locally-released D&D 3rd Edition adventure module. I have studied arts such as cinematography, graphic novels, storytelling structures, and many of the best writers/directors in history. As such, I am quite confident in my ability to tell fun and engaging stories, but am also happy to realize that I always have more room to learn and grow! I got into storytelling because my father was also an author. In fact, my first experience with stories and fantasy roleplaying was through my father DMing for me when I was a child. My first and favorite D&D character is my father's first and favorite character's son. The legacy I carry on through Atorian, son of Gaeleath, High Elf Bladesinger, Champion of Correllon Larethian, Defender of all Elves, began in the 1970's, long before I was born, when my father made his first character. The best moment I ever had in D&D was when my father's character passed his sword down to me. This is an extremely special bond I have with my father and D&D alike, and I can only hope I can recreate this sort of feeling on for other players to enjoy.
