About Austin

Hello my future players and friends! I grew up watching my dad play 2nd edition D&D with his friends from college, and I started playing as soon as my dad let me (about age 13). I continued playing with them every other Saturday for several years and eagerly wanted to have my own group to play with. Life got busy (work, college, video games, girls) and D&D fell to the side. I’m an avid reader, love anime, and most things fantasy (which you know I incorporate into D&D 😬). When I was 22, I started craving D&D again, but knew I wanted a committed group of players. If I was going to learn how to DM, how to play 5th edition, and teach others how to play D&D I wanted to make it a regular thing like what my dad and his friends had. It happened! I’ve had an incredible group of 13-14 players who rotate in and out as life happens, with a limit of 6 players at the table, for the last 8 years. We’ve switched between playing every Thursday and every other Thursday since then and are still at it! We play homebrew and premade campaigns, but you know I love homebrew! My campaigns tend to be longer term, as I love to see players get into 14th and 15th level power, and they are very much player and story focused, with about 60% combat and 40% role playing. I love magic items and being as creative and imaginative as possible in our sessions! You bring a well thought out character to the table and you know I’m going to riff off it! I love using the player characters to elevate the substance of and add meaning to our sessions! I tend to play the more serious style of D&D, but it’s always about having fun!

How Austin runs games

I love player and story driven dungeons and dragons. Homebrew and custom campaigns are my favorite. It’s like we’re reading and writing a book together! My sessions are about 60% combat and 40% role playing. I love magic items and detailed characters. I tend to be on the more serious side of D&D, but I’m all about having fun!
