About me
Welcome, brave adventurers! I'm thrilled to join you at the start of your epic journey! My name's Andrew, and while I might not have decades of experience like some seasoned veterans, I bring a ton of enthusiasm, creativity, and passion to every game I run. In my two years of GMing and three years of playing, I've learned that the heart of any great adventure lies in the joy and camaraderie we share around the table (real or virtual!). I pride myself on being fun, laid back, and patient, creating a welcoming and supportive atmosphere where everyone can feel comfortable and valued. I believe in fostering creativity and imagination in every player, encouraging you to unleash your inner hero and shape the story in your own unique way. With me as your guide, you can expect a game filled with laughter, excitement, and unforgettable moments. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or brand new to the world of TTRPGs, I welcome one and all to join me on the adventure of a lifetime. Together, we'll delve into fantastic realms, face daring challenges, and weave tales that will be talked about for ages to come. I'm fun, creative, and absolutely love what I do, and I can't wait to share that passion with all of you. Let's roll some dice and make memories that will last a lifetime!
GM Style
As a roleplay-centered GM, my focus is on weaving compelling stories and creating memorable characters that you'll love (or love to hate). I take great joy in bringing these characters to life through voices and mannerisms, and nothing brings me more joy than seeing the excited smiles on my players' faces when they interact with them. I also incorporate lots of maps, tokens, and visual aspects into my games to enhance the immersion. Whether we're exploring a dungeon, navigating a city, or engaging in epic battles, I strive to provide a rich visual experience that complements our storytelling. I have a "fun first" mentality when it comes to running games, prioritizing the enjoyment and engagement of my players over strict adherence to rules. While rules are important for maintaining structure and fairness, I believe that the story and the characters should always come first. I'm always willing to make accommodations to ensure that everyone at the table is having a great time and feels included in the adventure. I take GM ethics very seriously and strive to create a safe and respectful environment for everyone at the table. I believe that everyone deserves to have their voice heard and their boundaries respected, and I'm committed to upholding these values in every game I run.

Andrew is a very creative DM and he loves encouraging player creativity! He is super knowledgeable about D&D and puts a lot of time into making my group’s experience immersive. He does awesome voices, music, maps, and so much lore! He is also just a really nice person and fun to play with! I highly recommend him for your next game!
Andrew is a wonderful DM! He has the bells and whistles like a soundboard, background music, fun accents, etc. But more importantly, he is hugely attentive to players. He personalises storylines for our characters, makes sure everyone gets their chance to shine, and also makes sure that we all feel comfortable.
Andrew is such an amazing DM! He's always making sure everyone is having a fun time and is comfortable. The amount of work he puts into every session is CRAZY!! We've got background music, maps, and little tokens for our characters! It's a very roleplay heavy type of game and it's so much fun. He also put a lot of love and care into players backstories to weave it into the story. Andrew balances time with each player really well also so no one feels left out and gets their time to shine! I hope to play with him for a long time to come!
He works hard to make a cool and engaging multimedia experience. Good humored and fair, as well as responsible. His discord is a lot of fun too. He helped me with some problems I had with my play style by reviewing RAW with me. If you like those cool Dimension 20 or Critical Role liveplays, his is a very similar style. Just a Great DM and underpriced.
