It all started a long long time ago in the darkest of dungeons. A Teenagers basement! As a kid of about 13 I was first introduced to D&D by my cousin. We spent countless hours in his basement rolling dice, making up grand adventures and escaping the dregs of the world outside. Since those glory days of AD&D- 3.5e life inevitably pulled us in separate directions away from that nerdy haven on our own adventures in reality. I always missed it, and I had the same problem that most likely brought you to this site. Where can I find people to play with and even more impor...

Hello! I’m a GM that has been hosting adventures for well over a decade. My current love is Dungeons & Dragons 5e, where I’ve been hosting paid games for over 4 years now. My style of GMing is a friendly one, where I seek to help the players connect to the adventure in the way that speaks to them. Whether you want a brutally challenging dungeon or a fun roleplay night, I will seek to make that happen. The secret to this dynamic approach is to get to know each player, their character, and what that character means to them. I’m not your rival; I’m your teammate on this...

I have come here to chew bubble gum and crush campaigns. And I'm all out of bubble gum! I love both roleplay and combat and tailor the ratio to the needs of the table. I've run a combat and exploration focused Tomb of Annihilation campaign as well as a roleplay heavy and whimsical Wild Beyond the Witchlight. I can be funny, silly, serious, or weird, and I'm not afraid to improvise and follow the need of players, even if that means going off the rails or side-questing on a whim. I've been running games on Startplaying for over 3 years and running home campaigns over...

Hey guys! I'm Lucas! I started playing D&D in the mid '80s, my older cousins introduced it to me. It didn't take long for me to dive into the role of Game Master - a hobby I did proudly all the way through colllege. I took a break from D&D after college when I started a family and jumped head first into "Corporate America" but rekindled my love for the game about three years ago after sustaining an injury and being forced into an early "retirement" I jumped back into the role of Game Master a year ago and although I've tried various other tabletop RPGs, I always find ...

Welcome to the Adventure Theater!

It's all good fun! And the stories I've had the honor of witnessing have been truly awe-inspiring and humbling. Join me on these crazy adventures, and we'll find your place in our shared fantasi...

Hello everyone, I'm Anthony the Dungeon Master from Massachusetts, but you can call me Monster.

You may get to meet one of these friends as they bring a very fun energy to the table. I love homebrewing entire worlds and lore that suit the players to do anything they like with a focus on roleplay but the most important thing for any campaign is that everyone is having fun.

As a DM with more than a decade of experience, I have a passion for cooperative storytelling, so I do everything I can to enable my players to tell their own stories as part of larger campaigns. I encourage players to participate in worldbuilding, whether in a published adventure (no need to stick to the written adventure if it's just going to mess with us having fun) or homebrew worlds. While I am primarily focused on open-ended sandbox stories and world-building, I do not neglect any of the "three pillars" (exploration, combat, and social interaction) Combat in my ga...

I will set the stage for you to tell your character's tale. Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do, from creative writing to teaching literature to myths and legends retellings around the campfire. Good stories are all about tension and release, about stakes. Tabletop Roleplaying Games are another manifestation of that but are unique in one way: we create stories together. We become the heroes we have always dreamed of. I’ve been a professional Gamemaster for over three years and a non-pro GM for far longer. I’ve clocked over 1000 hours of digital GMing (not ...

Over 30 years rpg from AD&D to 5e, I have DM'd a wide range of TSR/WOTC modules in both tabletop and online, providing challenging and innovative encounters and stories. I am engaged by both the challenge and the unexpected from the players as they mould the adventure to suit their characters. I offer original adventures that strike true with experienced rpg players and that will fulfill their character's destiny. I have several years experience with Roll20, D&D Beyond, Discord, and more recently Fantasy Grounds Unity.

Since my days in middle school, I've had a love for taking a story idea and following it to see where it goes. The long story short is that when I discovered tabletop role playing games several years ago, it quickly became my favourite hobby. Not only could I provide plot threads and say "What if," but I could do so outside of an echo chamber. It's a special experience, moulding a story with others. Aside from that, I've loved strategy for a long time, so providing players with combat encounters that make them think is a strong second love. My ideal story is one that s...
