About me

Have you found yourself saying one of these things lately about TTRPGs? šŸ¤µ "I've always wanted to try tabletop role-playing games." šŸ¤µ "I'm having fun but I'm looking for something next-level!" šŸ¤µ "Looking to jump back into it, not quite sure which campaign to go for." Look no further. Hello! šŸ‘‹ I'm Adam Hayes. I'm the professional DM you've been looking for. As a talented actor, and musician - I bring your characters to life through music and voices to fully immerse you into the game. That's just the tip of the iceberg though - I specialize in interweaving your characters goals, motivations and wishes into the game, creating a custom narrative where you are in control of your own destiny. Needless to say, it will cater to your own interests. I bring my varied background in story-telling mediums to the table, giving you deep character development, tense and difficult moments, and most of all a friendly and engaging atmosphere where we can all relax and forget about our worries for a few hours per week. The cherry on top is that I have a beginner friendly and inclusive style, where I help you get up to scratch with the rules in an adaptable pace so you feel like you would fit right in. I also bring a little something new for veterans to - weaving twists and new turns to challenge the ways of old and keep you on your toes. Interested? Book a session today. It's your game, your way.

GM Style

If you are interested in a passionate story-teller who is dedicated to helping you tell the best story possible through your character, look no further. You've found your DM. When I started playing table-top roleplaying games, I knew that trying new things in general is honestly rather difficult, and at times scary. From my experiences in PF2E and D&D I've adopted an approach of creating that atmosphere that I hope would have helped younger me get into the game easier. My focus is on creating a beginner friendly, respectful and engaging atmosphere where everyone is encouraged to bring their best to the table - make friends, roleplay when they feel ready, and enjoy themselves. I believe that my games are great for both beginners and veterans alike as i adapt my approach to give you a unique challenge no matter your skill level. One thing I absolutely loved growing up was that tense atmosphere where players are left on the edge of the seats watching those D&D shows like Critical Role, and Dimension 20. I bring that forward with an engaging atmosphere where your character will face personal challenges and tribulations and ultimately arise victorious. I interweave your characters motivations and backstory into the campaign where your fate is in your hands. I lean more towards rules-as-written gameplay in my games. However, I do believe in the famed Rule of Cool and believe in bending the rules where appropriate when the situation deems it necessary. After all, if it doesn't serve to make the gameplay better, why have it in the first place? I also enjoy towards challenging combat that is tailored to your skill level. I love the gameplay aspect of games such as D&D and PF2E and love to bring forward the game in role-playing games. And finally, I believe in constant research and improvement. You'll see me in games talk about new inspirations, new styles and things I'm excited for as I believe the core of a good DM is in evidence based improvement. I like to ask for feedback periodically and iterate my approach to get as good as I can.
