About ALinkNamedJustin

Welcome adventurers! I am Justin and I will be your link to the magnificent, magical worlds and adventures that can be found in the worlds of Dungeons and Dragons. I love creating a world that I can then explore with my fellow players, creating the story as we go along. The shenanigans, plot turns and suspenseful, deadly encounters all included when we play together. When I DM for a game, one of the most important things for me is engagement. Without engagement with the world, they can simply seem bland, out of context and boring. This is why I do my best to make sure that every player gets their shot at their desired monologue, cool action or spotlight performance. If things slow down and the party has little to do or talk about, I will throw in some kind of random encounter, story driven trap, or maybe even your first deadly encounter with the big bad themselves. I look forward to learning about you and the personally crafted character you wish to bring to the table. Your backstories, your artwork, your general happiness and joy within the game are what I live for and I cannot wait to begin. So, without any further adieu, who wants to play some D&D?

I became a GM because

the creative outlet it provides is something I have searched my entire life for. It gives me purpose and allows me to share my love for this game to so many others.

I got started GMing...

for my close friends and it was a year and a half long campaign that taught me a lot. With over 60 sessions in that first campaign, I gained confidence and experience that pushed me to do even more.

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

Writing my homebrew module that I intend to get printed when its finished. I would also be reading up on new systems such as Prowlers and Paragons or designing new battle maps.

How ALinkNamedJustin runs games

Looking for a combat encounter that will truly tax your teamwork and your characters capabilities? I try and create somewhat balanced, yet extremely challenging and deadly combat encounters. Some encounters may seem insurmountable, however with some deep thinking and working together, the BBEG's weakness may show itself before it's too late. I like to homebrew a lot from simply making small changes to existing creatures all the way to creating and entire ecosystem of mushrooms in an underground city that have different effects on someone when they are eaten. I will typically lean more towards tweaking existing creatures to fit the challenge I am presenting to my fellow players. Finally, the rules are a fantastic guideline to keeping things in the game understandable, however the rule of cool will always take precedent. Want to combine an attack combo, but your turns aren't anywhere near each other and you already used your last spell slot of that level? We can work together to find a way to make that beautiful teamwork happen and cause some serious damage if it succeeds.
