I'm an LBGTQ+ game master with over 15 years of running role playing games. I specialize in the horror genre, like chronicles of darkness, but also run lore centered D&D & super hero games. If you enjoy over the top action which has you spitting in the face of death, then you will enjoy my storytelling style. I like to compare the types of games I enjoy running to buffy the vampire slayer or supernatural. My favorite games to run are Chronicles of Darkness, Sword Chronicle, & Forgotten Realms 3.75(pathfinder 1e using the 3.5 setting) I am a full time game master ...

My own Platinum Rule for RPGs is offering and assuming good will around the table. We all want to experience something breaking out of the mundane, at least for a bit. Entertain and be entertained by weaving a story together, play the game together. My main enjoyment comes from others being engrossed in the session, or at least having fun with it. Allowing myself a little honesty, RPGs are a huge part of my life, took me from being an extremely shy kid to someone who can easily give lectures to a full auditorium. As silly, as that sounds, feeling like I truly pilot ...

I primarily run Pokemon Tabletop United and Pathfinder 2e, but I enjoy a wide variety of systems. I have run many game systems in the past, but have settled on these as my primary systems. For those interested, I have run multiple long campaigns of Dark Heresy, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Vampire: the Masquerade, and Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. I have a deep passion for Wraith: the Oblivion, and a great interest in running a game set during the Great War. I am interested in running a Shadows of Esteren game, and would be interested in being commissioned for a game too. ...

I first stumbled upon roleplaying games almost 15 years ago and I was taken since the first moment. Playing as a dwarf adventurer, vampire businessman or a jedi knight was amazing experience, but I soon found my true passion in being game master. I have since led a lot of games, both for my friends and for new players at conventions. And in the past year I started to host games online. Good story is the most important element for me in RPG, but player agency is a close second. You should always be able to to make interesting choices, to go off course and chart your o...

I have been playing various tabletops and LARPs for about 15 years. I am willing to read through and play in multiple different systems that players want to learn or play in. I have experience with a plethora of different game systems and setting, but both World and Chronicles of Darkness are my favorites, Monster of the Week along with World Wide Wrestling are fun breaks from my favorites, as is Warhammer 40k to get the tactical mind working.

Bottom Line Up Front: passionate and knowledgeable long-time dungeon master looking to become your dungeon master. You don't need to finish this bio; read it until you're hooked and then book me or sign up for one of my games! I'm not the best voice actor (yet!) but I am very good at narrative, encounters, characters, and rules. I am very LGBTQ+- and neurodivergent-friendly partly because I am both. I am an anarcho-humanist determined to appreciate people heedless of national, religious, ethnic, geographic, class, and other boundaries (but maximally respectful of pers...

HELLO! I'm psyched to create a story with you. I've been running games, events, larps, and telling stories for over 20 years and I am always looking to spin more yarn. I usually introduce more than a dozen new players to the world of table top each year. I'm familiar with many systems, (some examples below) and I'm always eager to add to a system if the group wants something more unique. I like to capture the intimate details of a books while at the same time help my players feel like they are apart of a grand cinematic marvel! Rather high stakes intrigue or octane bur...

Hi, I'm Leo! I've been doing games for over thirty years, and was GM for the vast majority of that time on account of there almost never being anyone else willing to run things. Over the decades, I've become accustomed to many different playstyles so I like to think that I'm pretty versatile. The most important thing, though, is that everyone is having fun and I do my best to ensure that the game is enjoyable for all involved. I spend entirely too much time gathering GM resources, so I'm bringing materials to the table like VTT licenses, animated maps, fitting music,...

My first fateful experience with TTRPGS began in high school, when a friend showed me his copy of Dungeons & Dragons: 3.5 Edition. In that moment - reading through those fantastical pages - I had found the perfect creative outlet that combined my passions for writing, theater, improv, and fantasy. I started the hobby as a player, but I quickly transitioned and embraced my new role as the forever DM. What started over a decade ago with a small group of high school friends playing D&D blossomed into new games, new campaigns, new worlds, and new friends from all over the ...

Hi, you can call me Eli and I love RPGs. I do not limit myself to the d20, I think the thing that has made me a strong gamemaster over the decades is playing as many TTRPGs as possible. I would love to explore new worlds and dimensions with you, or craft some together! My focus has always been the connection between players and the tales we tell without limiting our imaginations. My favorite games to play are Mage: The Awakening, Savage Worlds, and Fabula Ultima. My schedule is full, but if you are interested in gaming with me feel free to send a DM and hopefully we c...

I am the founder of Heeroic Studios Gaming, LLC, and the brain behind Maximum Apocalypse RPG, Beta Red RPG, The Few and Cursed RPG, and the Bureau RPG. I've been involved in TTRPGs since I was invited to play in a Shadowrun 3e Campaign in 2002, but have been involved with MTG, Choose-your-own-adventures, and Miniature Wargames well before that. I joined a vibrant V:TM Larp in 2003 and that locked RPGs as my main hobby forever. I'm an experienced Convention GM, running Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, and other games, and run campaigns for Hunter: The Vigil, Dune, Shadowrun...

In my time since becoming a professional DM, I have ran multiple weekly campaigns in various formats,...

I've been playing and running role-playing games ever since AD&D. I enjoy running character-focused games with politics and intrigue, such as Vampire: the Masquerade, Dune, or Delta Green. Horror is another favorite of mine, including games like Hunter: the Vigil, Call of Cthulhu, and similar titles. I believe the key to running a good game is by presenting characters with compelling dilemmas and interesting choices, and simply guiding how the story evolves from there. I also have experience teaching how to play, and I'd love to be the GM who introduces your troupe t...

Outside of this, I have run horror-themed actual plays and oneshots for and with the TTPRG, from content creators, TTRPG authors/developers (mostly notably World of Darkness & Onyx Path Publishing) and everyone else in between over the last 3 years (as of writing). I have been sponsor...

Hey there! I'm Greg, and I've been diving deep into the world of tabletop RPGs for a while now. My style? Think of a blend of rich narratives, suspense, and a sprinkle of the supernatural. If you've ever been captivated by movies like "From Dusk Till Dawn" or "Deliver Us from Evil" then you're in for a treat. I love exploring the thin line between the natural and supernatural realms, where mortals unknowingly become the prey in a world they thought they understood. When it comes to setting the scene, I don't just stop at traditional 2D battle maps. I take immersion to...

Hi! I'm Dan, and I've been playing and running TTRPG's since the time I first learned to read from my dad's original Red Box D&D, and haven't really slowed down since. While I love a good dungeon crawl and my gratitude to D&D knows no bounds, my passion lies in newer and indie game experiences- and I'd absolutely love to run a game for you that showcases both the depth and history of my lifelong love of TTRPG's, while trying out and exploring some of the newer and wilder systems, settings, and games that have come out over the past decades. I've also been part of a l...
