Imagine The air is cold, stale, and dry. You entered to half-buried hill of old stones following clues scrounged from the lair of cultists, paired with research the wizard spent weeks on...weeks of boredom in the sleepy town. Now, you finally get to stretch your limbs and do what you do best! Ahead of your group the darkness billows like a gauzy curtain. Rock dust grits beneath your boots as the party creeps into a broken chamber. The small sounds you make echo back to you seconds later, distorted, and the ceiling is lost above you in shadow. You can feel the crush...

Hello everyone! I am a DM with over 6 years experience running games and over 10 years actively playing games; I am primarily going to be focusing on D&D 5E however I may expand into FATE. I have tons of experience in teaching people to play so newcomers be welcome! I pride myself in pulling from history and while I try to add lots of depth to my games but I also love putting in a good bit of humor as well as drawing from the pop and nerd culture I have seen. So grab your dice, and lets roll!

I'm the permanent DM/GM by choice...there I said it and I am damn proud of it too! I've been playing TTRPGs since I was 15, I've been running them since I was 20, Im now Old as a stubborn dwarf...ok I'm in my mid 30s but still I've got about 2535hrs in game time...at least, and Talo's knows how many hours prepping.

I have had 21 years of experience with Tabletop Role Playing games (TTRP), 16 of which I have been a Dungeon Master (DM). I have been creating my own content for years, but I also use official Dungeons & Dragons publications for my stories. I flexibly cater my playstyle to my group, customizing each campaign to ensure each new adventure is unique. I prioritize the “rule of cool” to make all players feel like heroes and further enhance their experience. I own both D&D 5th edition source material, as well as Roll20 content, giving my players an array of material to choos...

I've been playing various forms of role-playing games formally for more than 2 decades, including online, written, table top and more, and informally, I've been playing and performing roles all my life. I love creating and sharing stories, all the more so when the players truly become part of the world by surprising me with their choices. Professionally, I have a background in history and am a recently-recovering educator, and I bring both to the gaming table by helping players learn the game and developing the massive living world of Ætheon where all of my campaigns ...

I have over ten years of experience performing with improv on stage and have been playing and running TTRPGs since middle school. I have a deep and abiding love for improv and collective story making as well as game design, voice acting, and sharing the joy my geeky passions. I welcome players of all experience and love teaching new folks how to play. In my games, you’ll meet multidimensional NPCS with distinct voices and a world that changes in response to your character’s actions. Your backstory will be woven into the narrative as I customize the adventure to suit t...

I have been GMing for over 15 years, sometimes with custom-made names, often with one of the game systems listed on my profile. I love a game where the natural consequences of a player's actions bounce off the natural actions and reactions of the NPCs and mix with some random chance of the dice to twist and turn the story in ways neither the players nor the GM could have seen coming! $! I love creating worlds for the players that feel living and changing, that have NPCs that act realistically and with agency so it never feels like the player is in a cardboard castle...

Hey there! I'm a passionate Dungeon Master with over four years of experience bringing the world of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition to life—exclusively online. Since December 2019, I've been rolling dice and by June 2020 I stepped into the DM seat where I found my true passion in crafting a meaningful story with my friends. In that time, I’ve learned what works best for me and, more importantly, what makes my players feel truly immersed in the world we build together. My focus is on crafting a collaborative, story-rich environment where characters feel real, choices ha...

I'm D.M Conrad, I've playing RPGs for so long, and at some point along the way, I wanted to create my own world. So thats what I did, I love what I created and love even more to see the players changing the world as they interact with it. There is a beauty in the uniqueness of every world that sets TTRPG apart from everything else. If you want a DM who is fair and likes Roleplay a lot, hit me up so we can play together.

I tripped and fell over GMing when I ran a "3-month" 7th Sea campaign at the end of college that is still going today, 16 years later. I've run several other campaigns and a whole ton of convention one-shots, including games at the convention I helped run for a number of years. I'm a professional GM because gaming is the most fun thing I can imagine doing for money! and because I want to share my skills with more people. Collaborative storytelling is a powerful way to enjoy life and transform ourselves, and I think everyone should do it. One of my favorite things i...

Hi! I’m Ahta, a curious soul, forever-learner and a GM who’s passionate about crafting your meaningful adventures. I was introduced to D&D not long ago, and since then, I've been diving deeper into the game with curiosity and care. While I haven’t fallen in love with it yet, I’ve found joy in building stories, guiding players, and learning what makes a great tabletop experience tick. Though, I love part when players initiates to derailed stories with unexpected twists. I’ve already run several long-form campaigns, both homebrew and official modules, and each one has h...

Howdy y'all, and welcome, you magnificent nerds! I’m DMKilfoot (or DMK, or "Andrew" if you’re my mom, a bill collector, or someone who’s very lost). I’ve been herding cats—ahem, running TTRPGs—for over two decades, which means I’m old enough to remember when "THAC0" wasn’t just a weird noise you make after bad sushi. But hey, age brings wisdom! Or at least really strong opinions about dice rituals. After years of subjecting my friends and family to my nonsense, I’ve decided to branch out and inflict my DMing upon strangers—because let’s be real: strangers are just ...

I have been DMing for most of my life, and I may be one of those few people who is a forever DM by choice. I go all out on my campaigns, utilizing every tool at my disposal to give you a singular experience. My players often find that they have the campaign on their mind, even when they're not playing. I create a real community at my table, even among strangers. Many of my players have wound up meeting in real life because they've become such good friends at the table. I ease new players in, teaching them the game as we play so that they can keep the focus on their ch...

Matt here! I fell in love with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) playing Dungeons & Dragons in 1989. I was eight years old, over at my friend's house, and their older brother ran the game. Though the game only lasted three weeks, I was hooked on the story, world-building, and absolute joy of the game. However, I couldn't find anyone to run e-games or be a Game Master. So, I accepted that role and turned as many friends I could into players, then began turning any players I could find into friends. My first love is the story and characters, and combat keeps it inter...

My name is Azabiel and I am the Guild Master of the Guild of Legends! Located in the space between spaces, the liminal highway of planes and realms, upon the first star in the heart of the multiverse! I've been a Game Master for over eight years, primarily playing D&D 5e. This experience spanned multiple games that I would run per week, as well as some in which I was a player. I've dabbled in other systems over the years, but certainly have the greatest grasp on D&D 5e and various conversions for it. I've created multiple homebrew settings for a variety of genres, in...

Yooooooo I have been a DM for close to a decade, but in a roundabout way it took me a few years to find D&D. I rolled with a group that was too cool to play something as 'mainstream' as D&D. Sad to think I spent so long fiddling around in vague things like FATE to appease them! Now I've been my own DM for about five years, running things like Pathfinder 1e and D&D 5e in campaigns both prewritten and homebrewn. I've learned a lot of lessons, made a lot of mistakes, and I think I've come out the other side, if not a great DM like my players tell me, then an experienced ...

Hello, adventurers! My name is Jason Richardson, and I’ve been immersed in the world of RPGs for the past 40 years.

With over four decades of experience as a Game Master, I bring a wealth of passion and creativity to every game. Beyond RPGs, I also hold a degree in Illustration, which often leads to players asking me to draw or paint their characters. My approach to games is highly visual, making my sessions immersive and...

I've been playing and running tabletop games since the mid 1990s. I loved creating and running stories for my friends, as well as fun and interesting characters to be a part of a shared story (and to provide a little entertainment for whomever was running the game as well). Over the last 25 plus years I've enjoyed meeting new friends and making connections playing in person and online. I see the process of running a game as a way to build connections with people and to have a shared experience where the goal is to have fun creating a shared story. As a game master, my ...

Hey, I am Jonathon but you can call me Jona. I am a long time nerd who loves everything from science to science fiction, history to fantasy, music and art. I was introduced to TTRPGs when I was a kid and when I found Dungeons and dragons in the mid 2000s I was hooked. I love introducing the game to new people, so naturally I had to become a GM. You can expect me to be a narrative-driven dungeon master that enjoys tactical combat. Also, as a racially ambiguous member of the LGBT community I try to be inclusive with everyone.

I have been a player and game master for several games for over 30 years. I have a home-brew background as well as a published TTRPG background. I tend to stick with older games, as I am often not fond of the newer versions. My style is partially scripted and partially off-the-cuff. I tend to be tough, but I always try to be fair. I'm not perfect and I do make mistakes. If I make one, let me know and I will rectify it. I have been know to chuck rules I don't like, or at least modify them (and make you know about them up front!) so that they are less unfavorable....
