About me

Hi! My name is Gabe, I'm 23 and I have several years of D&D experience, most of it as an online DM. I'm more than happy to help new players learn the ropes and can teach you without you needing any prior knowledge. When you play at my table you can expect a consistent schedule, a variety of well made maps to play on, immersive music to listen to while playing, potentially a soundboard if it's requested, and most importantly you can expect to be taken care of by a GM that prioritizes your enjoyment, comfort, and safety.

Safety

How Gabe creates a safe table

Before the session you'll fill out a Lines and Veils that tells me what you are and are not comfortable with. You're also able to step away from the table or request breaks at any time. Hopefully none of this should be an issue!
