Ever since I first picked up a twenty-sided die, I’ve wanted to be behind the GM screen, narrating fantastical stories my friends create. I’ve come a long way since the days of pen and paper and cozy huddles around my kitchen table—but one thing hasn’t changed: I treat you as a friend in my home and worlds. With a background in theater and literature, I strive to weave meticulously crafted narratives that stir minds and hearts. Each story has the freedom to breathe and grow, with the ultimate goal of creating a majestic tale we’ll remember for life. I also create TT...

I am a longtime TTRPG GM that loves D&D & GURPS, with a large library of books, art assets, and time to share with my players, it is my favorite thing to do. I am a huge fan of roleplay and often modify mechanics to benefit storytelling & session fluidity. I use Foundry VTT, which is free to my players, and includes vast customization options for every campaign & every participant. Please take a look at this Google Sheet for all of my GURPS games: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OIi-Yp_5L2k4LvJ_L-YxgZ_YF7QIsZr4h0PIoit8fKM/edit?usp=sharing

Hello, I'm Daniel, I've been playing DnD off and on for a few years. I've always had an interest in running the games myself, but always ended up being a player! Keen to have some fun, make memorable experiences and have laughs!

Hello adventurers and heroes, nice to meet you! I'm Babis, a game master from Greece, and I'm working for the last 15 years in the gaming industry as a board game designer/developer and an RPG game master and writer. I'm passionate with storytelling, and epic moments of tragedy and drama, but I do so love some hardcore moments of tireless dungeon-delving in some forgotten ruins. My favorite games are Dungeons & Dragons, Savage Worlds: Deadlands, and of course Vampire: the Masquerade - a personal favorite of mine. I've been playing RPGs for 30 years, and I've been sto...

I’m pretty sure my love of immersive storytelling and Dungeons & Dragons began the moment I picked up my first Choose Your Own Adventure book in third grade. I was one of those “Talented and Gifted” kids of the late ’80s and early ’90s (we’d call it neurodivergent now), and let’s just say... sitting still wasn’t my strength (hello, undiagnosed ADHD). While most teachers didn’t know what to do with me, my third-grade teacher—bless her—sent me to the library instead of the office. After filing books and learning the Dewey Decimal System, I’d sneak off to the reading cor...

Hello there, adventures new and old! Since you're browsing and looking for a game to join, let me tell you a bit about myself first and foremost. I have been into fantasy ever since I was a young lad, be it literature, games, or art. I am also an avid video gamer, pc gamer and have played old RPG game from the early 80s to now. But there is nothing more I enjoyed most but playing roleplaying games with friends and strangers on the table. That was the time I had my first contact with the Tabletop RPG genre, I fell in love with it. I could not only enjoy adventures and...

I've been addicted to actual plays for years, captivated by the dynamic story economy—writer-players are deeply invested in THEIR character; driving the narrative in unexpected ways. My approach will not be about seeing your characters succeed, or to tell you a on-rails story. I aim to put your character to into Ş̷̇ ̶̜͂I̸̥͎̐ ̸̥͉̃̈́T̶̼̗̏ ̴͇̼͗͠U̷̩̇͋ ̵̰̿͝Ą̴̫̂ ̴̃͛T̸̙͋ ̴̲̝͆͠Ḯ̴̢̲ ̴̢̓̇O̴̡͕̿͝ ̶͈͗̍N̵̳̦̄ ̶̪̙̽Ṣ̷̂ Lack of training and skill in voice acting can be made up with via enthusiasm... right?

Ready for adventure? Roll up a character and let me take you on an epic journey! As a seasoned GM, I bring a lot of resources and experience in storytelling, theatricality and nuance. Studying the performing arts at a tertiary level for many years along with degrees in literature, contemporary arts and drama, as well as a stint at Melbourne’s prestigious VCA, I’m confident that I’ll be able to help you create a story and adventure that you’ll remember for a long time to come. Be sure to send me a message if you want to arrange a session outside of those listed. I c...

Hi there! I am a Games Master with nearly a decade's worth of experience and have run a number of games in D&D, SWFFG, Starfinder, Lancer, Basic Fantasy, Pokemon Tabletop United, Pathfinder 2e, Blades in the Dark, Forbidden Lands, City of Mist... quite a few. This hobby has somewhat taken over my life: be it my fortnightly game that has been running for 8 years, various one-shots and mini-campaigns, play-by-post experiments, artwork, books... I'm rather enthusiastic. I use Foundry VTT's many bells and whistles to bring life to all of these fantastic games.

With over three decades of cinematic storytelling, I craft living worlds where your decisions echo across myth and madness. My journey began with AD&D in the 1980s and has since crossed haunted cathedrals, blood-soaked courts, and dream-scarred realities. I’m a veteran LARP coordinator and narrative architect, with experience running large-scale chronicle events (300+ players) and a master’s degree in History, Religion, and Philosophy. Every game I host weaves symbols, consequences, and voices that linger long after the final die has fallen. Today, through Mythveil C...

Whether you’re looking for a high stakes battle against legendary foes or an immersive roleplaying experience full of mystery and intrigue, I’m here to craft unforgettable stories with you. I enjoy crafting detailed worlds that incorporate the backstory of players into the main campaign, making YOU, the players, the stars of the show! I run a number of groups for Neurodiverse young people in schools and through mental hea...

Long time DM, gay gal and lover of all things dnd! Jen's DM style is Roleplay heavy and a bit gritty, I have created several homebrew worlds and am working on an upcoming book!

Greetings and salutations! Though new to SPG, I have been playing TTRPGs for over 20 years, starting with AD&D and have been a DM for over 5 years. Character story and Immersion is one of the most important things to me. My main strength as a DM is setting the right atmosphere to make you feel truly heroic by weaving backstory, roleplaying, and combat into those epic, unforgettable moments. I’m skilled at integrating your character’s story into the world and encouraging roleplaying, even during combat: what you say in the middle of an attack matters for your charac...

Hi! I’m a passionate GM with 5+ years of experience, specializing in D&D 5e. I craft immersive, story-driven adventures where your choices shape the world. Expect rich lore, dynamic NPCs, and a balance of meaningful combat, roleplay, and exploration. I run custom campaigns using Foundry VTT with full automation, animated maps, music via Discord bots, and campaign wikis. My background in Biomedical Informatics brings vivid detail and realism to every scene. Whether you’re new or experienced, you’ll be welcomed with a Session Zero and open feedback culture. Let’s creat...

Hi everyone! I am Vale, a new DM to this site but with a 10 years experience as a player and as a professional master. I love creagin homebrew settings both using them in more linear narrative and as sandbox for the players to explore. I look forward to experience the amazing idea I can create with my players. My DMing style is focused on character development, world building and storytelling. I am also a fan of the most technical aspect of the game but I mainly tend to use it as a narrative tool for a more immersive experience, often using homebrew content (campaign t...

Hey there! As a relatively new GM, I'm eager to share my passion for tabletop RPGs and create a memorable experience with you. After having been a player for around 10 months, I decided to pick up the GM mantle. I have always loved the thrill of stepping into a new world and slowly becoming a hero in the story and I wish to create this feeling for you as well! Every game is tailored to the group you play in, ensuring that no two games are the same! In my games, you will find: • Dynamic, immersive worlds • NPCs that all feel unique, either through voice, personal...

AKA AJ Black on the interwebs! I've been a gamer for years, and tabletops were just a natural evolution of that. My first memory of playing was a Star Wars adventure with my brother and uncle, and I've been hooked ever since. It was only a matter of time until I got the itch to host games, and the catalyst for it was my partner, who'd never played tables before but was interested. I gathered a group of friends around us, and I never looked back. 8 games, 4 years, and a lot of lessons later, here we are. I am still growing, and I'll be the first to admit that, but my fo...

A few years ago, my friends and I were talking at one of our Magic the Gathering meets about potentially playing in a DnD Campaign over the summer. Fast forward two years, 20 levels, hundreds of battles, one epic quest and many many emotions later, I found myself and my fellow adventurers forever changed by our Journey. When I sat down at that table for the first time, I had no idea what I was in store for. But stood there, in a city our characters had saved time and again, in a world we knew only existed because of our heroics, I understood the power of DnD. Hi! My ...

Hi there! My name's Rob, but I'm probably better known as TheBipolarDiceRoller. I have been running TTRPG sessions professionally for the last 9 years. Aside from my daily sessions, I also develop content for members of my Discord community. If you are interested in checking out some of my games, make sure to head over to my Twitch or YouTube channel: BipolarDiceRoller. - Rob, a.k.a Bipolar

With my 40+ years of experience as a Dungeon Master, I can accomodate all levels of experience. New to Dungeons and Dragons? Grizzled veteran of a hundred campaigns? Never even created a character before? It doesn't matter. You will find most of my campaigns with a 5 character maximum. I encourage RolePlay and I have found that 5 players is a good median for everyone to get everyone involved while continuing to move things forward at a fairly brisk pace. You may also find my campaigns to be a few dollars more affordable. This has nothing to with quality of effort. T...

Hello, my name is Victor, i'm 31 and i'm a Law graduate from Eastern Europe - so you could call me an actual Rules Lawyer! *ahahhaa.... i'll find the door myself* Catdad and hopefully husband soon! I was born into the 3 pillars of awesome - Fantasy, Sci - Fi and Horror - and i've been passionate about TTRPGS, for the last 15 years. My introduction to TTRPGs was gradual. I think you could trace the root of it to Relic's Dawn of War game. Loved that, then i learned this "40k thing" is actually mainly a Tabletop property, then i realized nobody is within 1000 miles to ...

I simply love ttrpgs. Since the first time I played I was in love with the idea of making a story alongside other people. I just love to see what player come up with and always make sure that everyone is having a great time.

Hi, my name is Michaela! I fell in love with D&D from the first moment I started playing it! I really enjoy working with my players to provide the best experience. I have been running games for roughly three years, mostly in person, but have been running a few games online for the past year! I love to help new players and prioritize making the table a safe and accepting place. I tend to lean towards WOTC content, but love to include any homebrew content if asked, so I can take a look at it and see if it can be incorporated into the story. Hope to see ya'll in a game!

Hi there! My name is Ina, and I have been a Dungeon Master for over seven years. I have run multiple one-shots and a long-term Neverwinter campaign for three years with my close friends. Currently, I am running several modules on StartPlaying, including Curse of Strahd, Out of the Abyss, and a campaign in the popular setting of Exandria. I enjoy adding my personal touch to existing modules and creating homebrew items and spells for my players. I am a big fan of Critical Role and Dimension 20, and I aspire to bring that same joy and excitement to my games. My goal is...

Hi gang :) I am an east coast DM and have DMed for many of my friends in the New York City area as well as run games online. I have a lot of campaign notes posted on YouTube.

I posted them on my YouTube channel listed below. Games are based i...

When I was around 10 years of age I was handed a copy of the 1983 Dungeons and Dragons basic rules (a copy that I still have to this day). Since then I have been captured by the fun of running all kinds of pen and paper games, consistently improving and trying to create the most fulfilling gaming experience I can. Since starting here on Startplaying, I have learned so much and improved my games tenfold in a bid to create something truly memorable for everyone who joins my table. I work hard at detailing every aspect of my games and ensure that they are to a standard ...

Howdy there! My name is Zane, and I’ve been DMing for about 3 years straight at this point and I want to expand the way I do TTRPGs. While I have primarily DM’d for D&D 5E, I’m looking to branch out with other systems so if you’re afraid of trying something out, we can learn it together. I love to shape the world that my players experience around them, be that through integrating the stories you’ve created for those characters or by just going with the flow and seeing what you guys have planned for yourselves. I typically run homebrew campaigns in various different ...

Hi there! I’m Francesca (she/her), a queer AuDHD nerd and literal hobbit. I’m currently a university student in Ireland studying folklore, and I spend essentially all of my free time thinking of new campaigns and characters. I know exactly what it’s like to be a new player and I am extremely happy to be a guide for every step of the way. My games are welcome to all who don’t often see themselves reflected in the larger TTRPG community, because I know firsthand how intimidating it can be for anyone who doesn’t fall under the label of cishet man. I also have lots of expe...
