About me
Welcome adventurers! I have been playing TTRPGs as a DM for 15 years now and want to continue to share my love of everything that involves with even more people. There are never enough Dungeon Masters and I hope to bring more games to more people. The ultimate goal is to provide a fun and safe time for everyone. My games are a collaborative effort between players and myself to build a world in which you will get the most enjoyment. This allows for players of all types to play to their level of comfort. Whether you are brand new or a returning veteran, all are welcome at my table!
GM Style
You can expect a balanced mix of tactical combat and immersed role play. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a player describe how they get the final blow on the monster, or pitting their wits against particularly devious socialite. I allow creative freedom to my players to change the flavors of rules to better match their style of play. I love to homebrew new iterations monsters, items, and abilities. I am definitely not a voice actor by any means, but I do try to give as much life to each of my characters as I can.

Anthony is a fantastic DM. I've played with him for 10+ years, mainly DnD and a few other TTRPG systems. The adventures he crafts are always exciting, filled with mysteries, puzzles, and a nice balance of RP and combat. He knows the rules back to front, offering gentle guidance for novice players and thrilling challenges for the more experienced. If you have a cool idea for your character, he will help you build it into a playable reality. Very receptive to player feedback and great at incorporating on-the-fly details. Pirates, superheroes, Greek gods, warriors, and heroes will all have a great time at his table. Can't recommend enough!
Anthony is a wonderful GM that is dedicated to building a story with his players. I have been playing D&D with him for around 10 years and through that time he has always been striving to grow his skills and his games. He is a master at the 5e system but is willing to work with players to make the game what they want (such as taking a module and remaking it into a dinosaur western, or making us homebrew magic items that we will actually use). It has always been a relief to me that Anthony cares for and takes care of his players. Checking in after tough moments and always trying to make sure that we feel safe in the game we are playing. No matter if you are a new or veteran player, you can be sure the next adventure you build will be epic.
Anthony knows and loves DND. He is patient and helpful for beginners, and challenging and adaptable for veterans. He owns the rule of cool - he has a ton of fun and interesting mechanics and techniques that he can support that allow players to tell as much of the story as they want. He enables full immersion in the story, and skillfully gets players to awesome and memorable moments with big consequences and big rewards. If you want to feel like a hero, and feel like you've earned it, Anthony is a DM for you. We've had a lot of memorable moments in our campaigns with Anthony, but some of the lingering memories have to do with the weapons, items, and companions that he has allowed us to completely customize to highlight our characters and impact the story. We have fought his dragons, taken on Acerarak, befriended a T-Rex and some direwolves, turned into (and back from) vampires, died, resurrected, been victorious, and have been defeated and we keep coming back for more.
Every player character was made to feel included not only in their own mini arcs, but their importance to the overall plot was plain without being overplayed or cliche. If we wanted to try something, we could try it, no matter how outlandish and stupid. Equal focus on combat and story, and takes input from players very well on what we were feeling like doing next. When a game can have a player character become a God, an epic duel with a feral and rabid king and a death oath in the name of love, you KNOW it's good stuff. Game night with this GM has been a staple of my week and the best night OF the week for several years now.
Anthony wants to tell a great story and wants you to be a part of it. I've been playing games with him for 10+ years - our most recent campaign just passed the 2 year mark - and each session has brought something new and challenging. Highly recommend for players who want an experienced and flexible DM who wants you to be involved in the creation of the story.
Anthony is an amazing and dedicated GM! I have played in his D&D and Hero-system campaigns for 10+ years now and each is better than the last. Extensive knowledge of 5e ruleset and modules, skillful world-building integrating the individual player's story, inclusive atmosphere and responsive to player feedback, and most of all fun! Highly recommend for beginners, experienced players and everyone in between.
