About me

Hello and welcome! I'm excited to share my passion for Dungeons and Dragons with you. I've been immersed in this incredible game since the mid-90s, starting with AD&D and exploring various editions and platforms. My true love, however, remains with D&D, particularly the rich and vibrant Forgotten Realms setting. As an avid reader of the novels and a self-proclaimed Lore Master, I bring a deep understanding of this beloved world to every game I run. For the past four years, I've been a professional Dungeon Master. The first lockdown in the UK offered me the chance to transition to digital play, a change that has allowed me to connect with players globally and elevate my game mastering skills. I firmly believe that D&D is about inclusiveness, storytelling, and most importantly, epic fun. My goal is to create unforgettable memories for my players, just as my DMs did for me. Let's embark on an adventure together and craft stories you'll cherish for years to come.

GM Style

Story driven immersive role-play with high stakes combat. What does this mean? Well I like to craft games where players actions have consequences, for good or bad, where players really do write the story.

V took me on as a new player and was incredibly patient! He slowly coached me through the rules and helped me build a character I still look back on now! He is by far one of the best DM's I've had the pleasure to play with, really listens to the players and isn't afraid to go where they lead. We had a lot of great moment in the campaign and I would highly recommend him to any player regardless of their experience level.

If you are looking for a DM, then a can't recommend James highly enough. I joined him as a new player and now a year later my thirst for the game, the lore and most of all the enjoyment of this game, has all come from him. He works with you to build the kind of experience and story you want for your character and is always on hand to help those who require it. So if your looking for an enjoyable, character driven game with high stakes combat, you've found your DM!

I am currently in one of DmV's games at the time of writing this review and I must say he is one of the best GMs I have had the pleasure of playing with during my 13+ years of experience in ttrpgs like D&D. So far, I have seen and experienced his devotion to the games he run, the players within said games, the detail he puts into weaving player character backstories into existing content, and his overall patience/understanding of some of the newer players at the virtual table. As a player he is easily one of the best GMs I have ever had run a game for me personally and as a fellow GM of 5 years experience he has taught me a lot when it comes to running a truly magical game. To anyone reading this, I believe that you cannot go wrong with DmV running for you.
