I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.

I always loved creating fascinating stories and situations for player characters to react and solve. My promise is that sessions will be engaging, intense, and dramatic, as we experience the stories of the world and our characters unfold before our eyes. Writing this after doing over 40 sessions for SPG. I first got into DMing for DnD for family and friends, eventually branching out to online communities. While I maintain those sessions I also was curious if I could make a living out of being a DM as all of the players I DMed for showed enthusiastic support and eagern...

Hi gang :) I am an east coast DM and have DMed for many of my friends in the New York City area as well as run games online. I have a lot of campaign notes posted on YouTube. I have a background in horror screenwriting and film production. Being a New Yorker, I have run games for all sorts of players from new to veterans. I love working with new people, value fairness and I am here to help everyone at the table have a good time. My games are 5E RAW and RAI although I have very few homebrew preferences. I posted them on my YouTube channel listed below. Games are based i...

With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: 🎥 I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster,...

Hi! I've been Gming ttrpgs for 29 years, and I love it. I build sandbox worlds that shift and change around the players; where you can go anywhere and adventure is just around the corner. I excel at helping players build backstories and weaving them into the game. As a GM I truly believe that the table top is about bringing the player's story to life, and making that happen is my favorite part of ttrpg. It's important to me to run an inclusive, safe table. To that I end I employ session zero, a discord, open discussion policy, a zero tolerance of bigotry policy. Po...

Hello to all you wonderful players and fellow GMs! My name is Cosmo The GM and I’ve been running and playing games of D&D since 2019, and I’ve loved playing roleplay video games ever since I first played the first 'Legend of Zelda' game on the NES way back in the early 90s. Since then, I've gone on to fall in love with and play many RPGs, from many of the Final Fantasy games, to Skyrim and the Witcher 3, to the modern masterpiece of Baldur's Gate 3. When I first played D&D, it sparked a passion in me that has brought me so much joy. The ability to be able to tell co...

To me DnD is not just an escape from the world which it can be but I aim to help my players tell the story of their characters throughout the campaign and heavily encourage player choice, consequences both positive and negative and self-expression. To give a little example from recent adventure with Rime of the Frostmaiden, a player wanted to create a reason as to why their character was so heavily involved in Ten Towns, the reason was that their character was a member of a cult that wants to overtake Bryn Shander and change the politics of Icewind Dale to a magiocra...

My name is Anthony, and I LOVE being a GM. The first actual game that I was a part of was me trying to use the strategy guide for Final Fantasy Origins, the first game as Origins had 1 and 2, and convert it somewhat into a tabletop campiagn with my own spin on it. It actually went surprisingly well. I then did the same thing with Final Fantasy Tactics, which was more focused on placement and tactical combat. That turned out pretty good as well. Then some friends of mine, the ones who played my FF1 campaign, had me be a player for a 4e one shot. It was interesting, bu...

Hi, it's That One Guy, DM Mike, I have over 25 years of experience as a GM in a multitude of systems. I love building homebrew sandboxes and open worlds, that multiple tables exist in at the same time, for my players to explore. Each world has its own deep lore with a narrative crafted by the player's choices. Couldn't care less about the evil warlord/gang leader oppressing their people and would rather see what's going on in the world's biggest city or start a business empire? Go for it; there are things to be discovered and stories everywhere you go. Everyone is wel...

Hello adventurers, my name's Ted and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! I've been a Dungeon Master for D&D 5E for the past 5 years. I started my professional full-time DM career on November of 2021 and I've been having a blast! I am Greek born and raised, which gives me the edge when I talk for the NPCs, they all have a natural Eastern European accent! Joking aside, I love D&D and I enjoy playing every single session. I am very passionate about the game and all my players have had a great time. I DM for most of the official modules from Wizards of the Coast...

I have a lot of experience with this hobby, specifically as a GM, since I've been running games about as long as I've been invested in the hobby. I've also been consistently at it long enough to see the shift from one edition to another more then once. I'm as comfortable inside corporate towers in a cyberpunk setting as I am in the dark dungeons of a fantasy one. The deepness of space is familiar to me regardless if viewed from a ships window or through an eldritch portal. If you have a game idea, reach out to me, and I'll see what I can do to work with you to tell an ...

Hey y'all, I'm Penny your Southern gothic, trans femme DM! She/her 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I'm an Eberron enthusiast who has been running tabletop adventures, creating new worlds, and telling stories for parties of all sizes for the last two decades.

Bringing unique, individual character stories together, melding those with memorable NPC companions, and creating dynamic challenges both in and out of initiative is all part of my recipe to deliver a campai...

Hello, I'm Leaf! I'm a neurodivergent voice actor, GM, fantasy writer, and I make DnD/RPG content on Youtube/Twitch under the handle aStoryofaLeaf. I have a background in theatre during High school and film production during college, so I approach my games in a very thematic way. I have been a GM & player for several years, and long before I had anyone to play DnD or TTRPGs with, I was an avid worldbuilder, storyteller, and writer for 17+ years. I've always loved collaborative storytelling and I believe that TTRPGs are the best medium for that, so as soon as I starte...

Role Playing Games were my sanity's refuge when my undiagnosed neurodiversity turned my academic endeavors into a living hell. The stories we weaved, and the love of the friends we wove them with, kept everyone going, and with each other, we were no longer alone. As time would have it, and in spite of our academic or social struggles, we ended up being an exceptional group professionals in our chosen fields, and as we sought to make our childrens' journey easier, most of my friends discovered their own neurodiversity. I want the opportunity to help your characters ...

I've been playing and storytelling for 30+ years, first with some DnD box sets and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I've played or run most systems that have seen the light of a basement lamp. I prefer more player-forward systems that let everyone at the table have a strong say in the narrative, but focused tactical games have their place on the table, too! I've been running games professionally(re:Paid by real humans) for 2 years now, and have a pretty good track record.

Creativity, inclusiveness and fun are the cornerstones of my style as a professional game master. Everyone is welcome to add something to the story and not a session goes by without something unexpected happening. If you want to do something different, perhaps a little silly, and definitely fun then check out my games. I almost exclusively run original campaigns that allow for a lot of collaborative storytelling and exploration in all directions. https://linktr.ee/schismnavigator

With over 30 years experience playing and running RPGs for players, I strive to be a place where players new and experienced can come and tell stories together in a safe, fun environment. What I want for my players is simple; to have fun, however I am able to provide that to them. I espeically want players who have had bad table experiences in the past or players who have struggled with neurodiversity issues to find their TTRPG "home" with me. I like to joke that my DM/GM aesthetic is "dad jokes and innuendo", but I also strive to make the experience as immersive ...
