About me
Greetings, brave souls! I’m Aaron, your seasoned Dungeon Master, ready to guide you through the shadowy realms of imagination and terror. Since 2011, I’ve been weaving tales that chill the spine and thrill the senses. With experience in every edition of Dungeons & Dragons—yes, even the original edition (0D&D)—I’ve honed my craft to specialize in the dark and mysterious, with a particular affinity for D&D 5th Edition. In my games, the line between reality and the supernatural blurs, as I immerse players in atmospheric storytelling that evokes both wonder and dread. Picture this: twisting paths through haunted forests, echoing whispers of ancient evils, and encounters that will keep you on the edge of your seat. My style is all about collaboration, inviting players to contribute to the unfolding narrative as we explore the darker corners of fantasy together. I proudly welcome adventurers from all walks of life, including our vibrant LGBTQ+ community, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can delve into their fears and triumphs. Whether you're a seasoned horror aficionado or a curious newcomer, my goal is to ensure that every player feels vital to the story—because in the darkness, your choices matter. My Roll20 stats reflect my dedication: 70+ games and over 5,000 hours of storytelling magic. If you're seeking a master of horror to lead you through the eerie, the unknown, and the horrifyingly unforgettable, look no further. Reach out, and let’s embark on a journey that will echo in your memories long after the session ends.
GM Style
Descend into the Shadows My games live in the dark corners where tension builds, and fear thrives. I specialize in creating an immersive, narrative-driven experience where roleplay takes center stage. Expect deep character development, moral dilemmas, and a strong focus on atmosphere—perfect for those who love unraveling mysteries and facing sinister forces lurking in the shadows. While I use maps on occasion, my games thrive on the Theater of the Mind, allowing the story to unfold in ways that maps and tokens just can’t capture. I lean into player collaboration and creativity—your decisions matter, and they will shape the story in meaningful and unexpected ways. If you’re looking for combat, expect it to feel intense, often overwhelming, and a little chaotic—just like surviving in a world ruled by darkness. While the rules are respected, I believe in the Rule of Cool to keep the action and suspense flowing, especially when it serves the horror narrative. I bring in ambient music and character voices to give life to NPCs, drawing players deeper into the world’s eerie, unpredictable atmosphere. My GM style blends the fear of the unknown with the thrill of discovery, pushing the boundaries of what your characters will face—and survive.
