About me
I began playing Dungeons and Dragons in 1983 at the age of 9 when my older brother and his friends were gracious enough to let a kid tag along. We played AD&D regularly for about 4 years until they all graduated college and moved away. I then recruited and taught 5 friends to play and dipped my toe into the DM pond and loved it! This continued for another 6 years or so for a total of 10 great years. I then strayed away from the game for about 10 years and picked it back up right around when v3.5 was released and went back to acting as a player. Because I moved several times and because I struggled to find groups to play with, my gaming with v3.5 was limited. Shortly before COVID hit, I found a solid group and played 5e for a few years until that group fizzled out. I've had some bad luck attempting to join groups online and realized there is a scarcity of well-organized, creative DMs who properly balance the social aspect of the game with the need to keep the game moving along. I am here to offer that type of campaign to anyone and everyone regardless of who or what you are so long as you are respectful, fun-loving, and kind.
GM Style
My campaigns will have no shortage of encounters and the game will move along at a good pace. They will be battle-intensive but players will have the opportunity to resolve many encounters with creativity, ingenuity, and/or roleplaying. Mostly, we will play rules as written but there is always room for improvement. I will have a suggestion thread in discord for rules that you have experienced in the past that made the game more enjoyable. Most of the time that I veer away from the rules, it will be to your benefit. Most importantly, please remember that this is a game we play for fun. In that spirit, you have an express duty in my campaigns to not make the game unenjoyable for others. You must demonstrate respect for everyone in the group. Bottom line: just be cool and kind and all will be ok. If you have a group or a partial group that wants me to run a particular adventure or campaign, just hit me up and I will make it happen. The more intricate the adventure/campaign, the more advance notice is appreciated since I prepare thoroughly and often tweak certain aspects of each campaign for purposes of gameplay, continuity, and enjoyment. Thanks and may all your rolls in life be nat 20s!
