About Allan
For as long as I can remember, I have always loved making stories and sharing them with other people. Growing up in a small town, sharing ghost stories and tall tales made up much of my childhood. Dungeons & Dragons offers the unique chance to take this sharing a step further and create a cooperative story. It only took me a few games to really get hooked on the experience. I'm in my 30's and I have been actively playing for a little over 20 years, switching solely to a DM since 2001 when Third Edition came out. I have had a few years to develop my ability to create unique characters with distinct personalities, and I enjoy using custom voices as well to give each a truly unique feel. I enjoy running campaigns that allow freedom for players while providing a clear and coherent plot. I usually stick with written material and adventures, and adapt them as necessary in order to allow more freedom and agency for players.

I became a GM because
Like many groups, we needed a Dugenon Master when playing. I took on the job and found I enjoyed it - the rest is history.
My favorite system of all Time is
D&D 5e. Though there's something nostalgic about D&D 2nd Edition Advanced.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Creative, Flexible and Reliable
How Allan runs games
I love Role Play and will often use character voices. I also love tactical combat, so expect grids with mini's.
Featured Prompts
I deal with rules issues by...
discussing them openly and fairly with players. I always rely on "Rules as Intended", but I am firm when the "Rules as Written" are clear.
When it comes to voices
I love making up various unique voices for the individual characters the players meet
