About me

I have been a DM/GM for about 26 years, starting when I was 13 years old. Truth be told, I was bamboozled into the job, but I guess I can now thank my best friend for helping me find my craft. While I consider myself a frustrated writer, I am able to enact my immediate vision - whether it's playing the current narrative to a T, or the adventure scenario planned. I have enough experience in the game to be able to play "anytime, anywhere - at a drop of a hat". While I did consider myself to be fairly straightforward as a GM, I understand that being the cool guy and saying yes to any idea a player can come up with, I also understand that in order to make the story experience memorable, you have to be consistent in your rulings (better yet, know the rules inside-out), and know when to apply pressure and tension into a situation. The higher the stakes, the better. More often than not, the good guys win... But they also lose. This is a crucial differentiator between a lot of GM-types. I rest specifically in the pro-player end of the spectrum, and I aim to tell a meaningful story at each session.

GM Style

My preferred style of play is 'player story-driven narratives' . I often elect to review player characters, ask questions, understand their motives and eccentricities whenever possible.

DMknight is certainly one of the best DM's I have had the chance to play with. His campaigns have been the stuff of legends and many people (me included, flock to his table at a mere mention of a new story he will tell. In his stories, YOU and your party are the main characters. He gets you involved and interested in the story and then creates a lot of twists, turns and gut wrenching drama that leaves everyone begging for more. If you're looking for an adventure to remember, this guy is the man to play with.

This Dm is a true Maestro of storytelling, captures oir imagination on his narratives. He creates an invironment where players are allowed to grow and invites us on shaping the world with some of our choices and together we go on with our adventures with no boudaries and a true to life lessons are injected every now and then

Great story teller. He set us up for one massive plot twist. Knows how to let your character shine either by combat or role play. The best GM.

I have cheered, wailed, and raged by the stories that this mad man has skillfully weaved for us. I will always eagerly await the next invite to a game at this GM’s table. And after you try a session or two, you too will know why.

"If you're looking for a fun and exciting DM, I highly recommend Peter Paul. With his extensive knowledge of the system and his ability to create engaging and dynamic worlds, you'll have a blast playing with him. He's always open to new ideas and suggestions, and his enthusiasm for the game is contagious. Trust me, you won't regret playing with Paul as your DM!

Our GM allows us to explore and improvise. He will beat the shit out of you. I mean, he will make you use your brain to do make some strategy, data gathering and many more. He is not the type that relies on books and rules. Trust me, when you sit with this man. You will experience a different DND. Been there.
