About me

Well met adventurers! I’m a Dungeon Master with a cinematic soul — a world-builder who breathes life into every ruined hall and misty trail. I’ve got a knack for weaving gritty detail with high fantasy, where even a goblin gets depth and a dragon gets dialogue. I love sensory storytelling — smells of scorched stone, whispers in the dark, the crunch of moss under cautious feet. Whether it’s a tipsy Sildar Hallwinter or a snarky Venomfang, my NPCs don’t just fill space — they steal scenes. Here's a quick sample: https://youtu.be/E--QDw5xew0 I try to run games like a director runs a film set: immersive, vivid, and always one step ahead of the party’s chaos. I care deeply about tone, texture, and truth in your fantasy — and I bring my A-game to every cavern, cultist, and cursed shrine. Most of all, I enjoy creating a personal connection with my players. I think my DMing style is welcoming for new players because it focuses on immersion and clarity without overwhelming them. By using vivid sensory descriptions — what characters see, hear, and smell — it helps players picture the world effortlessly, making it easier for them to understand their surroundings and feel grounded in the story. I don’t just read boxed text; I paint scenes, giving even simple rooms or encounters a sense of mood and meaning. That kind of storytelling pulls new players in, helping them feel like they’re part of something real right from the start. I strive to be a kind and patient DM. I want all players (even those who’ve never played before) to feel comfortable enough to relax, learn and ask questions at my tables. Even if you're unsure of the rules or lack confidence in being able to play ... trust me ... I got you. Please give me a shot to introduce you to the world of Dungeons & Dragons. My games are also a safe space for all players regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. I use the latest, cutting edge, animated maps, animated spell effects and modules to increase the players’ enjoyment. I enjoy running fully immersive campaigns (and one-shots). I am a complete game nerd who owns all the official D&D 5E content and I bring that content with me into the game for player usage. I spare no details in preparing my adventures that hopefully will provide many fond memories and excitement for my players.

GM Style

I enjoy an equal mixture of role-playing and combat but I tend to cater to what seems to bring the party enjoyment. Just when you might think you have things figured out I've been known to sneak a puzzle/riddle into the game. But most of all, I enjoy when my players can start to feel the emotions within a game and understand they they are crafting the story with me.

This is my first campaign and I cannot imagine a better DM than Prophet!!! He’s so patient with all his players, allows for so much creativity and role play, and is a very fun guy to talk to! Cannot wait to see where our campaign goes and hope to play at his table again!

I'm always excited for the next session as he guides the party to the next part of the story but doesn't railroad. The visuals are amazing. I always feel heard and equal in the party

Every session is filled with unexpected twists, well-developed NPCs, and immersive lore. The world feels alive, and players are constantly drawn deeper into the story. Von did his best to manage our table; however, it proved difficult due to clashing personalities. There's nothing bad to say about the DM—his effort and passion were clear—but unfortunately, this particular group just didn’t see eye to eye and couldn’t quite come together to play this as a cohesive D&D party.

A very good and patient dm that clearly knows what they're doing. They keep the game very entertaining while still being accommodating. I would highly recommend them.

This GM is great. That is all I can say. I was very new to D&D and hesitant to play with others I did not know. I am so happy I decided to join a campaign ran by Prophet. He made me feel very comfortable and is great with our entire group.
