Greetings! I have been a gamer since 1980 when a friend introduced me to "High Fantasy" by Jeffrey Dillow, which led to playing a mixture of D&D versions and other games. I had some great DMs early on to learn from. We tried a lot of different games, and this translated to my family as well, playing with my brothers and sisters and sometimes parents. While I have had a gap here or there in playing games over the years, I've earned a lot of experience with playing and running games for family and friends, and want to branch out to make new friends as well. Hosting games...

In addition to being a GM, I am a professional RPG author and designer. I've written adventures, rules, and creatures for over twenty products in the Pathfinder and Starfinder product lines. My notable credits include "The Resurrection Flood" for the Triumph of the Tusk Adventure Path, "A Taste of Ashes" from the Blood Lords Adventure Path, "We Be Heroes?" Paizo’s Free RPG Day 2019 adventure, and "Siege of Gallowspire," the finale of Pathfinder Society’s 1st edition campaign. I'm a lifelong TTRPG player and GM. I've run a wide variety of systems, from D&D and Pathfin...

Welcome, Adventurers! Thanks for taking a look at my adventures! I'm an experienced DM/GM with over 40 years of playing and running games under my belt. I absolutely love tabletop RPGs, and there's nothing I enjoy more than sharing that love by crafting unforgettable sessions. Dungeons & Dragons is a favorite of mine, and I bring that passion to every table I run. My goal is always to make the story leap off the page and help players fully immerse themselves in the world around them. While I respect the rules, the characters and story will always come first. It’s ...

Hello and welcome! I am Craig and I am generally a laughing, friendly, well-mannered kind of guy. Ofc some days are better than others for all of us... This is all here to help you narrow down whether we might be a good fit to play in some great stories together. River guiding (pictured on Ocoee Oct '23) is just one of many things I've done to live, work and play on the fringes of society in a variety of gorgeous, preferably natural spots across America. I gained and sacrificed much for that lifestyle. I've been playing and running a decent variety of TTRPGs since I ...

Hello! I’m Ron, a Game Master focused on providing engaging role-playing, exploration, and challenging combat encounters. I customize games to suit player preferences while ensuring they have agency within the D&D pillars. My RPG journey began with AD&D, and I've been running games nearly as long as I've been playing, covering most D&D editions and currently running D&D 5E and Pathfinder 2, both online and in person. While I'm no rules encyclopedia, I prioritize "rulings over rules" to keep the game flowing, correcting any missed rules as we go. One of my favorite as...

My GM style is relaxed, story-rich, and focused on collaborative fun. I run dynamic, sandbox-style campaigns where player choices matter and the world reacts accordingly. One-shots are brisk and punchy, racing toward satisfying conclusions. Custom campaigns are always shaped by player preferences, character backgrounds, and group play styles. I use “destiny dice” and “iron dice” to keep things thrilling—embracing both luck and consequence to create stories that stick with you. I prize player agency above all. The real magic happens when fate, risk, and reward intertwi...

I found my first Players Handbook under the Xmas tree long before they started numbering the various editions of any of these games, and have been playing ever since. I started DMing regularly for family and friends ten years ago, and soon branched out to offering games online, first as a side hustle and then as a full-time occupation. I like to explore every pillar of game play and have a particular liking for mysteries and puzzles, but I certainly know when it's time to roll dice and crunch monsters as well.

Hello, adventurers! My name is Jason Richardson, and I’ve been immersed in the world of RPGs for the past 40 years. Early on, it became clear that my friends weren’t keen on stepping into the GM role, so I took the reins—and I’ve been behind the screen ever since! With over four decades of experience as a Game Master, I bring a wealth of passion and creativity to every game. Beyond RPGs, I also hold a degree in Illustration, which often leads to players asking me to draw or paint their characters. My approach to games is highly visual, making my sessions immersive and...

Are you looking for a relaxed DM with Storytelling AND Customer Service skills to run your D&D campaign? Look no further! As a pro DM, my top priority is that everyone has a great time while also conjuring up compelling characters and challenging combat for all to enjoy. I really love nothing more than weaving a great story and I make sure that everyone has a chance to shine at the table so that each of you can bring YOUR stories to life. You are the heroes, not me. You can always expect a nice blend of combat, exploration, and RP at all of my tables! For safety pr...

I have been GMing and playing in this great hobby now for 40 years and as my picture shows, I am still loving it :) Life is a rich tapestry and I try to fit into it as much as I can. I take this attitude into the games that I play and run, and so I always seem to be running something. I like to think that my life and gaming experiences provide benefits to the games that I run and therefore to the experiences that the players have. I am always looking to improve and welcome any feedback; if you don't grow, you decay. I hope we can grow together.

Rules-lite RPGs are my passion. Collaborating with players to create background and backstory is what I enjoy most. Creating a great character-driven narrative that we will tell for years is my goal. My preference is for RPG systems that support the story and also allow for players to have the option to succeed at a cost, driving the story to a climactic finish where all those checks must be paid. RPGs work best when it's like a jazz ensemble, where the whole group plays together most of the time but everyone gets a chance to step forward for their solo from time ...

Hello! I’ve been playing and running RPGs for the better part of 3 decades, professionally for 10. In that time I’ve introduced tabletop rpgs in kids’ programs (ages 8-13) and to adults of all ages. I love nothing more than bringing people into the hobby! I run an inclusive and respectful table that spans playstyles from a light, casual atmosphere to an immersive and deep experience. Over at www.thetabletopalmanac.wordpress.com you can read reviews I’ve done of a variety of games. Even if not listed on my profile, I’m available to run them all! While this would b...

Greetings! I am James, AKA DM_Shroud. With a rich experience of 48 years in nearly a hundred roleplaying games, starting from the days of Classic Traveller in 1977, I've crafted countless adventures across a myriad of genres of gaming. My gaming library boasts an extensive collection of systems, but I have a particular fondness for narrative-driven space operas like Traveller Mongoose (2e), Star Trek Adventures, and Star Wars Fantasy Flight, as well as fantasy games like Over the Wall, Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, D&D 2024, Song of Ice and Fire, and One Ring. As ...

I'm a DM with over 20 years of experience and have been a Professional running multiple sessions weekly since 2021. I've been playing since 2nd Edition and I strongly believe that the player's write the story with their choices and decisions, I'm just the editor that makes sure every player is getting the role they want in the story. While I sometimes may be using published materials, I'll often tailor the module to the players. This means that your choices in character creation will help shape the story, and veterans who may have played the adventure before might get...

Born in a snowbank and raised in a swamp, I grew up in a family that liked playing and inventing fun games to occupy our time. I started hanging around my older brothers D&D table when I was 7 years old, by 8 I was playing a character given to my by his DM (Nikintuk the gnome illusionist) by the time I was 13 I was already GM'ing for my own group of friends and have pretty much been the 'forever DM' since. I am now retired from truck driving for health reasons and am looking to have some fun playing or running some D&D games.

🕯️ Who I Am – And Why It Echoes With over three decades of immersive storytelling, world-building, and narrative alchemy, I bring a cinematic, consequence-driven approach to every game I run. My journey began in the 1980s with 1st Edition Dungeons & Dragons, but it didn't stop at the dungeon door. It led me through haunted cathedrals, blood-soaked courts, and dream-scarred realities—into the depths of myth, horror, and political intrigue. As a veteran LARP coordinator and narrative architect, I’ve designed large-scale interactive experiences—most notably a World of D...

I'm an old-school, french-born GM who specializes in LIVE TEXT GAMES (these days Audio is of course a normal go-to for a lot of my games, but I started as a pro-GM with Live Text and still have a thing for it). After a long hiatus doing other Life Things, I got back into RPGs online a few years ago and have been running professionally mostly homebrewed 5e campaigns since 2020, with a few forays into other systems like Dungeon World, Star Wars FFG, or Pathfinder 2e. Currently working on more adventures in the worlds of Call of Cthulhu, Cyberpunk / Blade Runner / Technoi...

Welcome! I've been running games for over 40 years, and I've published material in the game industry before. If you decide to play with me, you'll discover a fun-forward game without having to drop the fun in favor of encumbrance. I tend to lean towards rule-of-cool DMing rather than strict adherence to the published material, but I don't tend to use homebrew in my games. I will provide you with an experience that puts your character up front, with tie-ins to backstories and developing moments in the story that involve you directly. If you're looking for old-school sty...

Welcome, adventurers, to the realm of pen, dice, and paper! I am your guide, a creative writer, game designer, and fervent enthusiast of role-playing games. My journey began over 35 years ago in a cabin in the woods, where I first rolled the dice as a player of Dungeons & Dragons. Since then, I've more often taken up the mantle of Dungeon Master, weaving tales and guiding heroes through countless adventures. Based in Florida, I share my life with my wonderful wife and our three adventurous 'hobbits'. Here, in the world of Tabletop RPGs, I believe the true magic lies i...

I am a D&D Facilitator (Dungeon Master) with 40 years of experience providing game sessions in this wonderful hobby. In today's world, remote gaming has proven to be the perfect venue, and I began my journey 11 years ago with Fantasy Grounds. Since then, I have run a number of long-term campaigns. To play, a Player only needs a Demo version of Fantasy Grounds and Discord installed on their PC. I supply everything else required to play Dungeons and Dragons.

Hi :) I've been GMing for about a year and I absolutely love it. I've been playing TTRPG's for almost 2 years. I started with DnD5e and have since branched out and have tried other TTRPG's. I'm silly, energetic, and I love teaching so it's okay if you aren't the most familiar with the system I'm running. I try my best to create a safe and fun environment for my players as well as myself :) I have a YouTube channel you can check out to get a better feel for my personality :) I do TTRPG's reviews and lots of solo playthroughs using my favorite systems. YT: Legends & ...

When I was around 10 years of age I was handed a copy of the 1983 Dungeons and Dragons basic rules (a copy that I still have to this day). Since then I have been captured by the fun of running all kinds of pen and paper games, consistently improving and trying to create the most fulfilling gaming experience I can. Since starting here on Startplaying, I have learned so much and improved my games tenfold in a bid to create something truly memorable for everyone who joins my table. I work hard at detailing every aspect of my games and ensure that they are to a standard ...

With 35+ years of DM/GM experience across many genres, I know how to turn a game up to 11 (epic) and make sure we all have a blast. I have run both long (years) and short (1 session) games across a wide variety of systems and decades. My players still talk about in game events after decades have passed, and I strive to make your experience similar. And YES, I have indeed played every single one of the games listed in the "Games Systems" section, laugh all you want. Truth told, there are even a few not listed here on SPG... -I have designed a TTRPG translation to MOORP...

DISCLAIMER: I use no A.I. to run or prep my games -- not in any way, shape, or form. I believe in the real, human component of the roleplaying game experience. I also wanted to mention that the enjoyment of the game comes before money, always. Nothing makes me more sad than someone having to leave a game because they can't afford it. I'll always be flexible about that, no matter what! Now, more about my DMing style! *** My games thrive on the thrill of emergent storytelling and creative problem solving, letting players lead the way in new, exciting worlds (or familia...
