I became a GM because

I think I just love taking care of people in a narrative setting. I want everyone to feel involved, included, and like they're having the best, most immersive time playing D&D!

My favorite books are

definitely the Lord of the Rings trilogy! Also a huge fan of the Song of Ice and Fire series. Also a huge fan of nonfiction like Burning Down the Haus or The Things They Carried!

When I'm not running games I'm...

lifting, hanging out with friends, or cooking! I'm really passionate about cooking and wine!

How Alex runs games

Story-Driven Adventures 📜 I love to make the game about a great story first. D&D is about telling cool stories, and making the game as immersive as possible is part of that. I focus on storytelling first, but balance gameplay equally between dialogue, exploration, and combat. Homebrew Rules for a Smoother Experience ⚔️ For D&D 5e, I have some homebrew rules that I’ve found successful and smooth. Of course, you don't have to use these, and we can go by the book if you prefer, but here's what I like: -Potions & Poisons: Drinking potions/applying poisons as bonus actions. -Spells: Casting Misty Step and a leveled spell in the same turn because it's just too cool not to allow. -Inspiration & Luck: Stackable inspiration points for advantage and lucky points for rerolls (inspired by Baldur's Gate 3). -Simplified Food Consumption: 1 ration consumed during long rests to measure food consumption. Your Fun is Paramount 🎉 By FAR the most important thing for me is you having fun. If there's a rule you want to change or something you prefer to include, let's make it happen. It's a fantasy game, and the objective is fun. So if you want something done differently, that is more important. Let's create a memorable adventure together!
