It started with a few friends, a pile of crayons, and some six-sided dice. Hunched over a bedroom floor in the late ‘80s, we crafted adventures with reckless abandon—dungeons sketched in frantic lines, monsters marked up with battle wounds, and Parcheesi tokens standing in for heroes. Rules? Who needed them? The thrill of the story was all that mattered. Even before I owned my first D&D set, I was hooked on the magic of tabletop roleplaying. Decades later, that same passion still fuels every game I run. Years of playing across countless systems have taught me that whi...

Hello there, fellow nerds. My name is Dan and I am a life-long GM who would love to run a campaign for you. I have been GMing games since D&D 3rd edition, kept going through 3.5, then Pathfinder 1e, and now both Starfinder and Pathfinder 2e. I genuinely love nerding out about ttrpg mechanics, but the most important thing is story. Well, actually, story is the second most important thing. The number one most important thing is that my players are having fun. Fortunately, as far as I'm concerned, the three usually go hand in hand. Lately, I have been running Paizo's won...

I'm currently a House DM at The Kobold Lounge, where I run 3 homebrew campaigns for adults, as well as an introductory game for kids and another for teens. I started with a weekly game at my house. Shortly after I learned to play, I had to move. To keep up with my new hobby, I found and joined ahome game that was posted online. It was a terrible experience. Nobody at the table was having fun except for the DM, who delighted in playing against his party. His players looked and sounded bored, almost miserable; I never went back. Instead, I decided to start my own game ...

Born at a very young age, I was marked from my youth, cursed to be sired by a "Role-player". My destiny was sealed that fateful day. For years, this passion lay dormant, until my foolish brother, having unearthed the tomes hidden in our home, began... to play. He hosted a game on my birthday, allowing me to invite a friend to play the legendary "Sunless Citadel". The day I met Meepo the Kobold, I knew this was my calling. For over 20 years now, I have honed my body and mind to perfect the art of TTRPG. While others studied the blade, I read the monster manual. While so...

I love D&D and TTRPGs and love meeting new people, I've got many D&D ideas, and don't want to overwhelm my friends with so many characters and campaigns. I'm also a man all about the sillies and the goofs so if you want a campaign with serious story while giggling until you fall out your seat then I'm your guy.

I have been GMing and playing in this great hobby now for 40 years and as my picture shows, I am still loving it :) Life is a rich tapestry and I try to fit into it as much as I can. I take this attitude into the games that I play and run, and so I always seem to be running something. I like to think that my life and gaming experiences provide benefits to the games that I run and therefore to the experiences that the players have. I am always looking to improve and welcome any feedback; if you don't grow, you decay. I hope we can grow together.

I'm a long-time GM with a lot of experience teaching players new systems. My home game has bounced around systems a lot but eventually landed on Cyberpunk Red. Not surprising given my obsession with the sci-fi subgenre. As far as TTRPGs are concerned, I am a big believer in buy-in roleplay; players should only have to "act" as far as they are comfortable. My games emphasize problem-solving using your character's skills, the world and that mushy stuff between your ears. When I am not running TTRPGs I am an engineer; a knowledge set I bring to the table. Many of the too...

I'm Bryan (he/him/39yo), and I've been GMing since I started improvising games with my friends 25 years ago. I enjoy running thematic, engaging games, incorporating music, handouts, and other elements to make each game feel alive. As a military veteran, I know what it's like to wrangle a group of people from different backgrounds, and I use that to facilitate the engaging and memorable games I host. I enjoy combat, but I think it's important to balance that with social roleplay, puzzles, and other interactions. Everything should happen with purpose and drive the game...

I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.

My name is Katabri. I have been playing TTRPGs since 1980. I did take a break to raise my kids, but kept up with material. When I came back to Dungeons and Dragons, it quickly became apparent that the easiest way to play in a game was to run it myself. So, I've been DMing for about 15 hours per week since January of 2023. I enjoy running DnD 5e and Pathfinder 2e games and endeavor to bring a fun and immersive experience for all my players.
