I love nothing more then people getting together around a table and making wonderful memories with friends using their imaginations.

I believe in making each and every session fun and an adventure. it would be my Honor if you would allow me and my imagination ...

💥 1 of the **TOP** Recommended DM's on StartPlaying! 💥 (*Most of the time*) I'm so happy you're here! Well, get ready for my edgelord backstory... Since I was young, I've always loved fantasy storytelling. Finding a passion for TTRPG's has reignited a part of me that I thought I had lost. That childlike Imagination and creativity, newly reborn into something better; more mature, closer to the heart. Above everything else, that is what I stand to offer to my players. With me, you'll be transported to amazing worlds of daring adventure, soaring joy, and sorrowful hea...

Hello all, I'm Alebrelle! I am a queer trans autistic leftist who has been doing tabletop of various flavors and intensities for just around 30 years now. My *FIRST* first game was (very badly) running the AD&D Box Set for my sister in 7th grade. My first campaign as a player was Shadowrun 2e in 10th grade. TTRPGs has been one of my longest standing special interests, and so I have a very deep and broad experience, LARPs, horror, fantasy, wire-fu, comedy, romance, cyberpunk, I've seen a bit of it, or a lot. I love making, crafting, and if I were a trust fund baby ...

Hi there, and welcome to Start Playing Games. I'm Nick, or as I usually go online, Cake. Currently specializing in PF2e, I've personally run the system since its inception in the playtests, and before that was a 1e GM since 2009. I've seen or run just about every 1st party campaign in both systems and love converting those older games to newer, smoother systems. That's not to say I don't know any other systems, having run Warhammer, 5e, World of Darkness, and even GURPS. I've GMed for hundreds of people from all walks of life over the years, and love making the exper...

Hello everyone! My name is Robin, I have been a Dungeon Master for over 6 years. In this time I have ran a wide array of games: from one shots to long campaigns, from lighthearted quests to grimdark intrigue, from whimsy and fantastical to down to earth and realistic. No matter the setting or kind of game, my number one priority is making sure that everyone is having fun, enjoying themselves, and getting a fun break from day-to-day life. I'm currently GMing in Pathfinder 2e and DND 5e, and whether you're a veteran player or a complete newbie, I hope to get to roll some...

Hey, I’m Leland (he/they), a forever DM who’s been telling exciting stories with dice since the early 2000s. I’ve been running TTRPGs for over 20 years now, & I’m still obsessed with them. Whether it’s a haunted ruin, a chaotic tavern brawl, or a moment of quiet between characters, I’m here for the drama, the laughter, the found family energy, & the weird magic that happens when people build something together. When you join one of my games, expect: -Strong roleplay vibes (yes, even the voices) -Worldbuilding that reacts to you -Mechanics that support story, not get ...

I own a game store and love running RPGs. I run d&d 5e and the occasional savage worlds/rifts campaign. I like to run third party modules by great third party creators like Matt Coville, the dungeon dudes, dm Dave, and ghost fire gaming to name a few. I also run my own home-brewed campaigns from time to time. I subscribe to a dozen map & token patreons as I like my games to have great art. To name a few if you know them; cze&peku, forgotten adventures, crosshead, Tom Cartos and Caeora.

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 ...

Hey there! I'm Moses, a wizard with words thanks to my background as an English teacher and a Ph.D. in English. My journey has taken me from text-based RPGs and roleplaying video games to Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) 5e, a transition that became a lifeline during the pandemic. Over the years, I've woven adventures in D&D 5e, with a few dips into other systems like Pathfinder, Deathmatch Island, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, and Monster of the Week. My passion lies in crafting immersive worlds and inclusive, engaging stories where players of all levels feel welcome. 🎮 Started...

Dungeons and Dragons DM with a taste for horror and the macabre. I like to run haunted houses and cult related campaigns but I also do fun light hearted adventures or general hero stuff. I take great care to know my players before we start a session and I do use safety tools if need be for more intense campaigns. I look forward to playing with you!

Like a lot of folks I started hosting TTRPG games online during the pandemic to foster a connection with my friends while we were all stuck at home. I fell in love with the storytelling and camaraderie and quickly took up the mantle of "forever GM". Over the years, I've managed to run 10 full campaigns and a handful of very fun one-shots. I've run games on 5E, Scum and Villainy, Honey Heist, and Cypher. As for my playstyle, my players get a lot of autonomy. For me, running the game is about creating a framework for a story and keeping track of the rules as we go. ...

I have always enjoyed stories, both reading and imagining my own and TTRPGs helped me bring those random stories to fruition. I thoroughly enjoy the twists and turns that players bring to any campaign and look forward to the ensuing shenanigans. I enjoy video games, anime, board games, the more social and the more cooperative.... the better!

I make many of my own sessions and games. With the hope of have a interesting experience and some fun ideas that you might enjoy playing.

Hi! I'm Natalie. I'm a big ol silly goose who loves to play DnD and DM for other silly gooses! I love to let people drive the story as much as I do and facilitate a safe space in which to have fun. Been a nerd forever, will be a nerd forever. I also happen to be a queer trans human and hope to make other queer, trans, and neurodivergent people feel safe and seen and able to express themselves through roleplay and exciting combat encounters with our DnD characters.

I've been playing and running games for almost decade now, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. I like running games that are player focused and story driven, and in general my goal is to help people fully realize the story they want to tell with their characters. Primarily I run games set in the World Of Darkness across the varying editions.

I was nine years old when I was introduced to the marvelous world of Dungeons and Dragons by my older brothers. It was amazing for me how I and my fellow players could have the experience of being the main characters of an exciting story. Soon I wanted to share this with everyone, so I became the forever Dungeon Master of all the school and job places throughout my career. This love for tales that TTRPG gave to me turned me into a scriptwriter in my adult life. All the joyful fun that happens around the table during a game session also had an impact on me towards com...

About Me I’ve always been drawn to deep, layered stories — the kind where every answer leads to more questions, and mystery lingers just beyond the next rolled die. I started as a player, became a Dungeon Master, and never looked back. Whether I’m welcoming first-timers or veterans to the table, my goal is the same: make every session unforgettable. With a vivid imagination that refuses to quit and a love for immersive storytelling, I’ve built Eriya, a massive living world shaped by the choices of dozens of adventurers. It’s a realm with history, heart, and hidden tru...

hello i have been a GM since 2015, and have had 2 long run campaigns (one that lasted half a year and anther that has lasted 2 years). i lean more into the roleplay then combat, about 60/40. used to help run a west marches style game but would like to get back into single party style since i do miss interacting with player characters and watching how they develop though a campaign.

I am a Self Taught DM, who has been running homebrew games for the past 5 years. I am a pay to play dm, and an aspiring streamer so please keep that in mind. I love making amazing stories and worlds that players can travel through at their hearts content!

Communication is very important with me as I want to help the story build around your characters. So let's see what you all can do and what we can make together!
