About DM Deadman

Salutations and roll for Initiative! I have been playing D&D 5e since Curse of Strahd came out and haven't stopped. Four years ago I became a professional DM and started my own online server and have been running my pay to play games ever since. I'm a fan of rule of cool, enjoy spending my freetime finding new battlemaps and writing up side quests for my players, I also enjoy applying music to help set the theme and use Kenku FM for music and sfx. The one thing I don't do is coddle me players, I keep the stakes high and PC death is a real possibility, so if your looking for a challenge and don't want your DM to hand hold you through encounters then I'm your DM. If you want to hear from my players you're more then welcome to speak with them too!

When I'm not running games I'm...

I'm usually playing or watching something horror-related, listening to Dungeon Crawler Carl series, training for my next OCR event or working on an encounter for one of my other games.

How DM Deadman runs games

I am a very loosey-goosey, improv using & RAI type of DM. I also enjoy doing voices for characters & always accept the rule of cool. I typically will look up a rule but if it takes longer than a minute to decide I will just go with a ruling that I consider fair & after the session take the time to figure it out correctly & inform the players. I do allow homebrew & UA content with the caveat that if I need to change it at the end of a session if it needs to be changed or nerfed. Story will always trump mechanics especially if I need to move the story along. I always prep before sessions but again try to leave it to improv.

My games focus on...

Fun! That's the whole point right? I try to focus on what my players will enjoy, how to get an NPC to be funny or memorable, make an encounter challenging or strategic, if I get a message from one of my players that they really enjoyed the session its the best feeling in the world to me.

DM Deadman's ideal table

Very chill atmosphere we usually talk and catch up with each other on what's going on in our lives during the week. Players who like the hangout vibe of enjoying a game with friends and not taking everything so seriously.

I think it's a red flag when players...

Steal the spotlight from other players during their story moments or start getting into ERP even though both situations have been told beforehand that they aren't allowed in my sessions...
