To me DnD is not just an escape from the world which it can be but I aim to help my players tell the story of their characters throughout the campaign and heavily encourage player choice, consequences both positive and negative and self-expression. To give a little example from recent adventure with Rime of the Frostmaiden, a player wanted to create a reason as to why their character was so heavily involved in Ten Towns, the reason was that their character was a member of a cult that wants to overtake Bryn Shander and change the politics of Icewind Dale to a magiocra...

Hi there! I’ve been DMing for a long time! I first started DMing for my dad around the kitchen table. We still game together today :) I love immersive roleplay, getting into character, and telling stories together. I enjoy building mysteries, crafting strange locations, and designing moments that challenge players in fun and unique ways. But above all that? I just love playing this game with people.

I first came to Dungeons and Dragons in high school through my love of ancient and medieval history. Since then I have gotten a masters in pre-modern history and started a patreon detailing my setting for the World of Nightwick. I enjoy mixing history with elements of horror, dark fantasy, swords and sorcery, weird fiction, and science fantasy into my world building. I began running Dungeons & Dragons and other RPGs in 2003 but have had experience running games online since 2012. I’ve run and played in games using just a hangout app and theater of the mind, digital wh...

Hey, I'm Andrew and one of my greatest passions is role-playing games and creating worlds that people can enjoy. I have been playing role-playing games for 6 years now and DMing for 3 years, most of my experience is Dungeons and Dragons 5e and Call of Cthulhu, but I am always up for learning a new system that better fits the story I want to tell or is just more enjoyable for the player. When it comes to my players the most important thing is that they are having an enjoyable and fun time and feel like their character is affecting the story and the world around them. ...

I have been playing and running roleplaying games for over 20 years. I started with LARP (Live Action Role Play) and moved into tabletop gaming within about a year or so. I love storytelling, roleplay and evoking emotional highs and lows within my games. My two main systems are Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and Vampire: the Masquerade 5th Edition (though I started with 3rd Edition for both). If you like what you've read here, I hope to see you at one of my events soon!

I'm a professional DM with over 30 years of experience running games from my homebrew world, "The World of Gaian." The world itself is about 20 years old (real time) and I’ve been running games professionally in it for over three years. In addition to this, I’ve worked in game design for several video game studios and even worked at Wizards of the Coast on several D&D projects. I love storytelling and game design, often trying to come up with new and unique mechanics to make the games I’m running more enjoyable and immersive. I find the best games are the ones where...

My name is Eric, he\him. I am Canadian, a father of 3 great kids, a husband and a nerd. 🇨🇦 My very first character was a Gnomish Tinkerer built using AD&Ds Dragonlance Adventures and my cousin-DM absolutely despised him. He ended up killing my gnome with a wyvern in my second session ever. Even with such a rocky start I was hooked on TTRPGs. I started DMing my own game shortly afterwards, convincing some friends in highschool to play The Lord of the Rings Adventure Game. After growing up around The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings it felt like a natural fit. We travele...

I have worked in private game design as Sortilege since 2018, and currently have three RPG books in various stages of writing/editing/pre-print, to be released later this year. Typically I run games in-person at venues around the Twin Cities. I love teaching new systems and settings to new players: those who have never played an RPG before, or who maybe have only played Dungeons & Dragons before.

Hey I'm defenderDan, Husband, Dad, Supernerd, and voice actor. My Addiction to Dungeons and Dragons and storytelling came to me one day as I was watching one of the first campaigns I had sat through and the Dungeon Master's character asked, "Why does it matter to people so much that my fur is brown? Why does it matter that I wasn't born like most of you?" and one of the players answered and said something along the lines of "You know some people can't get past those details but really what matters the most is that you are happy with you. People will always have an opi...

Looking to make some quality friends? Looking for new experiences and opportunities? Looking for deep immersion and escape? My games provide for many things. The biggest of them is to bring together quality people who can build lasting friendships with each other. They also help you learn new things, new game systems and styles of play. They are also meant to create an immersive escape from the rest of the week where you can truly become someone else...a heroic character of legend! I started running games in the mid-70s, and have developed a fluid and adaptive style....

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...

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 ...
