About Alex Cloud

I've been a GM for six years now. I've done many campaigns, weaving complex official D&D storylines together with my own bit of personal flair. I've also done a number of one shots and one page dungeons. These last ones can be the most fun as they often differ dramatically and put players in some very unusual situations. I'm available for hire for a group that wants to run the Curse of Strahd Campaign, Rise of Tiamat, Phandelver and Below, and many more. For sessions, I primarily use a mix of theater of the mind and I use tabletop simulator for visuals to create some elaborate 3d dungeons and then I stream the feed to a zoom channel where players make decisions for their characters and interact.

How Alex Cloud runs games

I usually use humor and levity to break things that get too serious, and I love teaching new players D&D. I enjoy doing voices and appreciate it when players do voices and get into character. Using your character's personality, bond, and flaws to add depth to your character is good way to get inspiration points with me. In any given situation, don't ask yourself what you would do. Instead, ask yourself what your character would do.
