About me
Greetings hero, I am Alex I have been running these improv dice-enhanced stories for a few years for people roughly about 9 years altogether, most of them being long-term games with the same players, the longest being one and a half years long. I enjoy incorporating my players' character stories into the game world and letting them carve their names into the world while creating amazing stories and developing the character's story further than what we came up with originally, seeing how they evolve.
GM Style
I enjoy having a good time, lots of laughs, loads of dice rolling, and fun combat. You came to play a hero who is out on an adventure...so an adventure we will go on and a story we will weave. Character voices: I do my best, I love doing them, may not be the best at them, but hey I'm no pro-voice actor. Roleplay: Of course, this IS D&D right?! It all depends on all of you though, because I can talk to myself all day...but if your character is a stoic antisocial butthead who doesn't talk to his comrades or NPCs it's tough to Roleplay with that. Combat: Yes! Get them bones ready to roll! Just know, I DO NOT want to kill my player's character! I will though if the choices you make lead to that, we all know if you poke a dragon enough they eat you. That said I try always to have an encounter ready for those bloodthirsty bunch of dice fiends.

Alex is a very chill GM that is always down for shenanigans. He handles our antics very well, and I feel very lucky to be able to play in one of his games.

I've played sessions with many DM's over the years. Alex is fantastic, patient and very knowledgeable. I've tagged a long for three sessions so far and there is never a dull moment.

Alex/Axl is legit af. If your party does dumb shit, Axl will adapt without you noticing. It was his plan all along. You want to throw some random RP shit at him in discord DMs mid conversation? HES GOT YOU. You want to RP a Wizard when in reality you're a Pact of the Tome Warlock, HES GOT YOU. Yes, a niche example, but I had a glorious time at every session with Alex dming. I probably got lucky af with my random party members, but Alex knows how to let the party live their best life while simultaneously bringing them along an adventure. I'm 4 or 5 sessions in and I'm 100% committed to finishing this campaign with Alex. For context, I have a 3 month old daughter so I'm giving my wife 45 minute foot massages just to play DnD Thursday from 5pm to 8pm.

I had the pleasure of a few sessions and they all went great. Did a great job incorporating my character into an existing campaign and made the transition seamless. The entire group was great and the DM made sure I felt welcome and included.

Amazing DM, played with him for about 3 months now and it's been a fantastic experience! He's made sure that everyone is involved and has a great time!
