About me
Welcome, fellow adventurers! I'm here to lead you on unforgettable journeys. My passion for Dungeons & Dragons spans over two decades and I've been rolling dice and telling stories for a long time. Over 20 years exploring every edition of D&D. I've been behind the DM screen for over 15 years, including the past 4 years bringing the fun to life at Utah's FanX Convention. I specialize in two distinct approaches: introducing brand new players to the wonders of D&D with shorter, "by the books" adventures, and crafting expansive, multi-year homebrew campaigns. In my homebrews, you should expect challenging combat, rich roleplay, a focus on character development, and a generous helping of "rule of cool" moments. Are you ready to embark on your next adventure? Join me on The Polyhedral Path and Unveiling Worlds Beyond!

Creating your character
As this is geared toward newer players, we will be creating level 1 characters during session 0. Abilities will be decided during session 0 by votes, either point buy or standard array. I am very happy to help with any and all questions you might have. Characters can be created in D&D Beyond using any of the Wizard of the Coast 2024 rulebooks.
We will be building the party together!

What MPMasterParker brings to the table
I will be bringing an extensive amount of D&D Beyond, a healthy mix of Roleplay, tactical combat, and exploration to allow you to learn and experience all the wonderful facets of Dungeons and Dragons. I tend to make lots of fun attempts and character voices and love using the rules to help everyone learn the game that I love. We will have lots of new experiences together!
