About me
Hello there! My name is Ollie and I've been in the dice rolling scene for over 20 years now. I started with learning 3.5 at a young age and was taught most of my math through D&D and Magic by a family of old-school nerds. I've carried this passion with me throughout my years and have been DMing at a variety of scenes with the intent to share the gift of tabletop gaming with the people around me and to foster that creativity in others. I’ve taught home school groups how to play the game, DMed for large scale discord server campaigns of 12+ members, sat down with friends and family in the basement with snacks and dice,hosted AL at local shops and now for several years I've been DMing full-time online. I enjoy creating safe spaces for people who don't have the same accessibility to other games, or in-person shops. My campaigns, and servers are safe spaces centered around inclusive role-playing games where you can become the characters you want to be, and explore new worlds. I believe that in the past few years we've all taken to adapting to the online environment fairly well, and such I do my best to utilize tools such as turn base interactions, and other systems focused on making sure all voices are heard during those crucial moments. In the end, I want you to be comfortable and feel confident in sharing your story with others. So regardless of what style of campaign you’re looking for, I promise to provide a massive, sprawling world that is reactive to your presence, choices, and weekly sessions that leave you hanging on the edge of your dice tray to see what happens next.
GM Style
As your DM, I try to provide the best experience to my players by giving them a living, breathing world that reacts to their choices, characters, and words. NPC don't wait in set locations, staring blankly at the sun until you arrive, but instead have lives and a story to share same as you. While a campaign will never be derailed due by this, you may find that as your days progress the events of the world do shift around you. I personally love the Roleplaying side of the game as a player. I also love to engage players with and in roleplay throughout sessions that I lead. I find this allows myself and the players to truly shape the world around them and illustrate a gaming experience that is fun and memorable for all. Furthermore I enjoy a collaborative world-building experience, allowing my players freedom to make adjustments to things that might support their character more. For example; if you the only Drow in the party, you may get to decide how rare they are and details about their culture! I encourage all players to make things yours and accept most homebrew to allow your creativity to shine. I am happy to help with any part of the character creation process to best facilitate that as well. You'll never have to be in the driving seat of my games, but you and your party will pick the places we stop, the radio station and even give directions. You'll love the extras I put into my games! I am great at different voices, I truly enjoy breathing life into characters this way. My combat style is varied and I am open to the wants of the party while ensuring that all players styles are recognized and voices are heard. I work to ensure that no matter what style of game you are looking for, you'll find engagement within each session, ranging from combat, puzzles, tense exploration, political plots, conversational challenges, and so much more.

Inclusive
Missy is a great GM and tells a good story. He has created creative world and a compelling campaign. He has a good understanding of his chosen VTT and means a lot to me. He has good pacing, and his players enjoy is opportunities to role play. I'd recommend him for any new or experienced player.
I honestly cannot praise Missy enough! I came into the game less than a week ago, and with their guidance I've not only been able to learn the game, they were quickly able to point out the type of characters i seem to gravitate towards and has helped me figure out my favorite races and classes! I have been in 7 sessions so far, and each one has been amazing! They are so patient with my autism, cheering me on and breaking things down for me when I don't understand. I'm now currently rocking with my lil gremlin support, I'm confident to rp with the party, and have even had a few scenes that I starred in! Their world building, their patience, their voice acting, their friendly attitude and surprise amount of humor are all super relieving to me, a person who usually struggles socially. I recommend anybody that wants an amazing dnd experience and has the prices to afford them, their prices are very fair imho, to really check them out! I'm so sorry for the massive message, I just have SO much praise for them. They really don't feel like just a person dming, they feel like a friend, a "homie" if you wish to call it so. They really can just relax and immerse you in a way that isn't very far off from the super popular online campaigns like Critical Roll and Legends of Avarice. So if you want the storytelling of tolkien without the drama of rowling, Missy is a great option! Thank you for reading my review, and have an amazing day!
