About me
Join me on an epic adventure that will stretch the limits of your imagination! I play from core D&D 5e campaigns and often create custom worlds fit for players of any level of experience, tailored to the 5th Edition D&D characters and welcoming to all Homebrew ideas. Developing emerging narratives collaboratively, participants are engaged throughout fast paced and enjoyable game play that i aim be described as, "cinematic"! I've been playing since childhood and have been GMing for over 10 years now and absolutely love doing it! I fell in love with the story telling and the immersion that each player dives into as they envelop the worlds i lay out for them. I do not believe in Player vs. GM but I am an avid user of THE RULE OF COOL as I prefer to allow the players to kind of create their own opportunities and drive their own story with the help of my guidance and interpretation of what is laid out before them. I often use discord for voice and video and a variety of VTTs however I prefer Owlbear Rodeo for it's ease of use, until i get comfortable and set using a newer more emersive format. Thank you for reading and i hope to see you at my table soon!
GM Style
I fully encourage players to engage in role play and just simply enjoy themselves! I absolutely love when the players come up with interesting ideas and concepts to add to pre-existing campaigns or character options. I often try to run my campaigns in a manner that is both funny and invigorating often giving the players a memorable and exciting adventure that could challenge their mind and spirits!

Zagreus does a great job of including everyone in the narrative and keeping the story going at a really fun pace. His attention to player comfort is really commendable. If you’re looking for someone who wants everyone to have fun and wants to tell an interesting story with the help of the players, I’d recommend him. He gives players a lot of command over the story in a way that’s really enjoyable. Excellent game master!"

I have been playing with Zach in his campaigns for the good part of about 2 years now and had met him through a mutual friend in the military. I really enjoy the story telling that he incorporates into his games and the creation that he does with creating gaming maps through online sources. He also does a phenomenal job with beginners as well with explaining the content and setting up workshops for those who are new to DND. The soundscapes that he uses in his campaigns helps you to delve into the campaign and the story with various senses and sounds that lights a fire inside of you. He also does a great job with giving NPC's varied voices throughout and giving varied personalities with them as well. If you want to get into DND and you don't know where to start, Zach is a great pic for you to try out! If you are a veteran player, Zach is still a great pick for you!

The best part about the game is that he makes you feel like you’re actually there. It’s honestly like if you’re watching a movie but you’re in it. He is very informative and willing to work with you on whatever you would like to do. He honestly is one of the best dm’s I have ever met.

Unfortunately I can’t choose more than 3 of the tags, because Zach really does meet every expectation I could have when it comes to being a DM and a friend. I’ve been in multiple campaigns/one shots with him over the past two years and he taught me how to play, while allowing for creativity with my character and always being available to talk to for anyone questions I had about the game. 10/10 would recommend him for any game any has whether you’re a veteran player, newer player, or this would be your very first game. Zach can do it all and he does it extremely well. We usually play over discord and he’s always got amazing voices and story telling, even if we derail his plan for the day. (Which I am infamous for) He is amazing at improving things when that happens as well as having multiple planned out scenarios in case it happens. If you need a good DM/GM please do yourself a favor and allow Zach to be a part of your campaign.
