About me

I got into D&D a few years ago, and have fallen in love with the game ever since. Particularly, I love the joy of telling a collaborative story, exploring who characters are, and creating memorable experiences, whether that happens through roleplay, combat, or the roll of the dice. As a DM, you'll find that I am very flexible, and love to allow each campaign to flow however it needs to based on character actions and interests. I love helping newer players get started, and I look forward to the opportunity to tell a story together with you.

GM Style

As a DM, you'll find that I am very flexible, and love to allow each campaign to flow however it needs to based on character actions and interests. I love helping newer players get started, and I look forward to the opportunity to tell a story together with you. You will hear character voices often and I enjoy exploring character backstories and perspectives as much as characters are willing.

Austin is great! He is my second DM for any TTRPG I have played, and I look forward to sessions every week. We keep the party small and consistent and that's really helpful to stay invested within the story. The characters and players are consistently growing closer and it makes for a really great story and time out of the week. Austin will listen to what players want and incorporate world lore incredibly well into player lore. He's a fun DM to play with for someone at any level and creates a wonderful, safe environment for everyone involved.

Austin is a very patient and well rounded GM. Great with new players and helps promote and build upon character back stories. If you're looking for a long-term GM or just wanting to play with a good person, then I would highly recommend Austin. Speaks plainly and clearly and is always well prepared, plus is also willing to adjust his GM style to new suggestions and a wide variety of player personalities.

Austin is really amazing! He creates a DM bond with everyone's characters, for example last night when we were leveling up, he had our backstories already from previous moments in our adventure. He integrated each of the backstory's into a vision of sorts for each player as they leveled up. He works with new player as well and within 2 sessions we knew a majority of the rules and mechanics as well as how to navigate the VTT. 10/10 RECOMMEND!

Huge focus on player experience and group dynamic. It makes everything about the story work so much better when the players understand the characters and personalities in a deeper way. Austin masterfully directs the game while letting us explore the worlds he’s created freely.

I play in Austin's home game and it has been an absolutely amazing experience! His ability to worldbuild and create engaging NPCs has been a blast! I may have even cried during a few sessions! 10 out of 10, would recommend!
