I have been a GM for over 9 years and have run several different styles of games. From hack and slash to deep story driven campaigns where players get to play out their character's goals and ambitions, while making an incredible collaborative story that will be remembered for years to come. When my players surprise me by coming at a problem from an unexpected direction, and completely derailing what I have planned is one of my favorite parts. I love this because it keeps me on my toes and sometimes the best parts of the story come from times like these. As a GM I ta...

I found my first Players Handbook under the Xmas tree long before they started numbering the various editions of any of these games, and have been playing ever since. I started DMing regularly for family and friends ten years ago, and soon branched out to offering games online, first as a side hustle and then as a full-time occupation. I like to explore every pillar of game play and have a particular liking for mysteries and puzzles, but I certainly know when it's time to roll dice and crunch monsters as well.

Welcome to the Adventure Theater! I'm Li (also known as Liam or Lian), and I enjoy few things as much as I enjoy helping a player bring their characters to life, whether that means fleshing out backstories, integrating them into the world via original NPCs or locations, or throwing wrenches in their plans like a devious little monkey who wants nothing more than to see them cry. 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...

As a player, I like good role-playing opportunities with a fair dose of combat and problem solving. And that’s what I bring as a DM. If that’s you, you’ve found a home. I’m Dungeon Master Jason and I want to be your DM. I love to write and read and get creative with what I create and what you create. Weaving your backstory, your goals, into the campaign, merging your creativity with mine, that is ambrosia for me.

I started playing DnD in 1984 or so, but pretty much stopped playing in the mid-90s (“adulting” happened I guess!). Passion for the fantasy genre (as a broad category of interest) never changed however, and over the past few years I’ve found myself back in the DnD world, at first as a player in several campaigns, to wind up being a full-time DM! I have a great passion for DnD, and bring that to the table always!

I got into roleplaying games because of the thrill of simulated danger to an alternate persona. In other words, a character I was attached to could die. How brilliant! From there, I learned from other players and game masters how to fully inhabit that character. World-building was a trial and error process, with much flattery by imitation. I run games to create a shared imaginary space that comes alive through our collective storytelling. My approach emphasizes deep character immersion, dynamic world-building, and a balance of challenge and fun. Join me to experience r...

Beyond the gaming table, I'm on a perpetual quest to enhance my skills.

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 ...

It all began Thanksgiving Day when I was 10 years old. I found my uncle’s Dungeons & Dragons red box with the warrior on the cover battling against a dragon. I was instantly drawn to it and begged my uncle to teach me how to play. Less than a year later, I was running adventures for my friends, igniting their and my imaginations as we told stories of heroics and fantasy. As the child of a Navy sailor who moved around a lot, D&D was always my constant and my way of connecting with like-minded people I met. Fast forward to now. Over the years, I have told hundreds of s...

My GM style is relaxed, story-rich, and focused on collaborative fun. I run dynamic, sandbox-style campaigns where player choices matter and the world reacts accordingly. One-shots are brisk and punchy, racing toward satisfying conclusions. Custom campaigns are always shaped by player preferences, character backgrounds, and group play styles.
