About me
I am a 45 year old DM (He/Him) who considers himself an ally for the LGBTQ+ gaming community and loves seeing more inclusion and representation coming to my favorite hobby, table top role playing games! I've been playing TTRPGS for over 31 years now and DMing for 22 of those years. My preferred system is D&D 5E but I have begun branching out into Call of Cthulhu 7E and World of Darkness 5E.
GM Style
I am a roleplayer at heart. I don't have anything against a min/maxer but even for a min/max build I still reward roleplay that makes that build make sense. Each session I give out two awards, nominated and voted on by the players. One for Best Roleplay (encouraging a great roleplay moment) and one for MVP of the night (encouraging good game play or that clutch moment which changed the course of the battle/scene). I like to do voices (as best I can) but don't expect that from my players. I do run a session zero prior to character development and go over important factors like, type of adventure the group wants, levels of comfort with difficult topics and potential triggers to avoid in our story telling together. I am not OK with NSFW or ERP, nor am I OK with PVP amongst the group. I bring to the table access to my DnDBeyond (main content, and all races unlocked) and use the Beyond20 extension to push rolls on DnDBeyond to Roll20/Foundry. I prefer to run modules but will heavily homebrew them in order for the stories to fit your character's backstories and to fit the type of adventure your party is looking for! Let's book a session and build a world together!

Visual Aid
Aaron is an amazing DM. He is so creative and patient with newbies. He has a formidable way of telling stories and getting people involved and mesmerized with the game. I love Aaron, he is just an amazing human being! My family and I hired him and we are all very pleased and will continue to play D&D with Aaron at every opportunity we can!
We recently had the pleasure of starting a campaign with Aaron as our DM, and he's been phenomenal! He’s super knowledgeable about the rules and patient with helping us get acclimated and learn. His setup with Foundry is top-notch, creating an immersive and dynamic environment that brought our campaign to life (especially the thematic music he plays along the way!). What really stood out was his inclusivity and warm personality—he immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable. If you’re looking for a DM who combines expertise, creativity, and genuine kindness, Aaron's your guy!
I joined one of Aaron's games with a group of three players. He's running a well established module for us, but introduces plenty of new elements, both mechanically and storywise, to keep it fresh and engaging. Multiple times now, I've found myself at the edge of my seat during combat. They strike a good balance between challenging combat and role-play. So far, as players, we've experienced a great deal of agency and DM helps you shine where and when you want to.
