About me
Hello and well met, My name is Anthony and I've been an avid gamer ever since my parents brought home an Atari 2600. My love for roleplaying games was sparked when some cousins of mine asked me to sit at the table in our grandparents basement and roll some funny shaped dice. These cousins sent me home with a PHB, Monster Manual & Deities and Demigods book (which I still have to this day). This sparked a love in me for fantasy, high adventure, and the joys that come from mutual story telling and world building. I stared seriously DMing in my college years with the introduction of 3rd edition (Stating in 2000) and have enjoyed systems from advanced D&D, 3rd edition, 3.5, 4th, 5th and now 5th 2024 edition. * Longest game run - D&D 3rd/3.5 edition (7 years) lvl 1 to 36, taking on goblins all the way up to gods and things gods fear. * Favorite Setting - Forgotten Realms, with Eberron a close 2nd * Other game systems that I've enjoyed running - Pathfinder, Spycraft, D20 Modern, 40k Dark Heresy & Fading Suns. As a DM I enjoying working with my players to fill out the world and make connections throughout their journeys. Adventures often take twists and turns from player connections, that I think lead to rich and memorable moments, that can be carried around for years. I like to have a warm and welcoming table, that ensures each participant is given the opportunity to engage with the story and other players, try new things, and fail and succeed as the dice gods decree. All within a safe, accepting and friendly environment for all. I hope we get the opportunity to play and thank you very much for your time.
GM Style
I tend to run games focused around heroic deeds and world building. Letting players chose their course within an over arching grand adventure. I enjoy combats that are challenging, dynamic and fun. With ample opportunities for RP and environmental use. Role play is an important aspect of my games, with high stakes negotiations possibly being as influential as that final sword strike or spell on an enemy. I am always accepting of a players creative solutions to any challenge they may face. Seeing what the players bring to the table is always a joy. From a tactical focused player, to dramatic poetry about the NPC you just met read in an accent player, I have an open space for you at the table. I always offer an open and safe environment at my tables. LBGTQIA+ & BIPOC Friendly.

Knows the Rules
Teacher
Anthony has been great about consistently providing a well prepared game. He's been able to consistently handle an eclectic group ranging from novices to experienced players, and from impulsive to the extremely deliberate. The games are wonderful examples of "yes and" without ever feeling like the adventurers did not earn their triumphant outcomes.
This DM is a masterful improviser! He lets players determine the path of their stories and will tailor his adventures accordingly. He is also respectful of all peoples and will help players resolve any conflicts in a positive and team building manner. Truly, he is one of the best DMs I have ever played with. 🏆
