About me
Welcome all Adventurers! I am Andy and I want to thank you for visiting my profile. Fate has brought you here for a reason. I have been a lifelong fan of the fantasy genre and have been preparing for this all my life without even knowing it. With a passion for creativity, novice acting, and storytelling, I knew right away that TTRPG’s were my long lost love! When I first discovered Dungeons and Dragons, I encountered the same challenge and obstacles we all do. The lack of a DM (amongst other things)! I vowed to do my part to help alleviate some of this challenge and put in some hard work to become a professional DM for YOU! I am really passionate about this game and hope to spread the joy and wonder that it can bring to people so here I am! Let’s start playing! Discord: https://discord.gg/gdfJCXaz
GM Style
Are you ready to find a high fantasy, high roleplay, and everything else you want in a daring adventure? Prepare to experience an immersive style of gameplay at my table. I work hard to create a safe space for EVERYONE to enjoy. I bring a high level of energy to the table and embrace the creativity and choices that my players bring with them! I like to breathe life into unique NPCs, a tailored list of ambient sounds and music, challenging tactical combat, handmade and hand picked detailed maps, and much more for your gaming experience! I am also new player friendly for those looking to learn the game, as well as host a table for veterans looking for a challenge alike!

I 100% recommend Andy- we’re 10 sessions into a Strahd campaign and it’s absolutely the best game we’ve ever played in. There are excellent parameters for the campaign both in game play and above table. Each session is full of role play and so many fun opportunities, rule of cool is observed, especially when it adds flavor- but the game still functions with real mechanics so triumphs still feel earned. He does an amazing job at setting communal expectations that provide really smooth game play and we’ve found some real kindred spirits at his table. Cannot recommend enough, sign up for one of his games now!!
Andy's one of the best GM's I've had here on Startplaying. He does a fantastic job of setting up the games for all players to feel engaged, heard, and welcome. Hands down some of the most professionally managed sessions, with great care taken to accommodate player's needs, as well as run a deeply immersive stories. Smooth, calm, and pro to the core. Highly recommend!
Andy is an amazing DM, immediately after the one shot I played- I knew he was someone I would trust to play long term with in a campaign. Through his storytelling abilities and world building, he gives an experience that invites players to bring the world to life alongside him. He took extra time to walk us through the setting before the game to make sure we were comfortable, and step by step helped with the platforms he uses- making me feel at ease in a new setting (which is not an easy feat) Above all else, he exudes a genuine kindness and welcoming that makes his players comfortable to explore, try new things, and brings out excellent role play in people.
