Hi everyone. My names StoryWeaver Steve & let me welcome you to The Loom (my discord server). A place where everyone's character threads are woven into the tapestry of an epic yarn.

(he/him) Salutations! My name is Joshua, and I facilitate cooperative storytelling experiences. I have been GMing for 27 years with nearly 10,000 hours at the table behind the GM screen. Home games, con games, Short games, and long games. Simple, mysterious, Silly, or serious; I've run them. I believe that RPGs should be a safe playground where players can explore identities and ideas while feeling welcome and empowered. I design and facilitate my campaigns to center the player characters, weaving them into the world and building it up around them. My favorite genr...

Howdys and Salutations! I've been playing D&D since the death throes of 3.5, skipped 4th entirely after a break and settled right nicely in the DM chair for 5e ever since Tyranny of Dragons dropped. I've ran and finished multiple online and in-person campaigns, often ending around tier 3 play (level 14). To get a good picture of what my games look like, imagine fun as a core concept — that's me! All I do is in the name of the collective fun for the whole table. I view TTRPGS in essence as an exercise to break out from constrained systems to do ridiculous stuff like, ...

I got into D&D back in the olden days when the game was young and after all this time I'm still not bored with it! Playing is fun but I find DMing more rewarding as I love to create new places, scenarios, and characters, and to cook up original plots and adventures. I love to make maps and guide players through them, but I also appreciate theater of the mind when maps can be too limiting. I love teaching new people to play, so feel free to message me if you are too intimidated to join a group. Solo games are always an option!

I recently completed my first campaign on startplaying from start to finish...

Hi, my name is Justin. I have been playing TTRPGs since I was in middle school. I was introduced to the TTRPG world with D&D 3.5e. Since that time many years ago, I have discovered my love of Old School gaming with systems like Shadowdark RPG and Dungeon Crawl Classics. I also love to world build, and my DCC games are set on "The Island of Cedralia" a world based on post Roman Britain. I like to bring out the creative side of my players as well as my own for a collaborative effort, and there is no better team for the job than a GM and the players. I like the world t...

Heyo! I'm Tara! I have been playing RPG's since I was a teenager, I founded the club at my high school and I was a public GM at my Local Game store for 5 years! I love introducing people to the space! I consider us to be collaborators in storytelling, I want you to feel like your character mattered and made an impact on the world. Often former Player Characters will make an appearance and leave permanent marks on the game world - I would love for your character to be one of them! I'm really excited to start getting into draw steel and running high octane action packe...

Hello, I'm Leaf! I'm a neurodivergent voice actor, GM, fantasy writer, and I make DnD/RPG content on Youtube/Twitch under the handle aStoryofaLeaf. I have a background in theatre during High school and film production during college, so I approach my games in a very thematic way. I have been a GM & player for several years, and long before I had anyone to play DnD or TTRPGs with, I was an avid worldbuilder, storyteller, and writer for 17+ years. I've always loved collaborative storytelling and I believe that TTRPGs are the best medium for that, so as soon as I starte...

Hello party people! Outside of the Mass Effect West Marches Game, and one other game I will build if I get enough interest (Sword and Sorcery Style) I am only available for private inquiries, and partnered games through the Non-Profit my partner and I started. I am a storyteller who seeks to give people agency in their mind through the tales I tell. I believe in my journey to change hearts and minds and ignite them with passion, and know I am not alone in doing so.

Hail and well met adventurers, Over the last couple years, I have met hundreds of incredible people around the virtual table. The stories we've shared have brought real-life joy, laughter, and a even a few tears into our lives. Many of these friends are still at the table today. They'll be quick to welcome you to and eager to hear your tales and experiences when you sit down to play. My road to becoming a professional Dungeon Master is a long and storied one that began with a few little fibs I used to tell as an extremely shy kid. When I met new people, I would te...

Hi! I am a DM from Canada and I have DMed for many of my friends, and also met tons of amazing people DMing online. I've run for all sorts of players, from new to veterans, and people looking for serious games to more lighthearted games. My games are RAW, although we can discuss homebrew rules in session 0. and I am great at balancing RP and combat to the amount you want. The games are difficult, but they start off easy to wean you into the difficulty. Monsters will be played as intended, and death is a possibility. Combat can have RP elements in it and I love to rewa...

It started with a few friends, a pile of crayons, and some six-sided dice. Hunched over a bedroom floor in the late ‘80s, we crafted adventures with reckless abandon—dungeons sketched in frantic lines, monsters marked up with battle wounds, and Parcheesi tokens standing in for heroes. Rules? Who needed them? The thrill of the story was all that mattered. Even before I owned my first D&D set, I was hooked on the magic of tabletop roleplaying. Decades later, that same passion still fuels every game I run. Years of playing across countless systems have taught me that whi...

I enjoy being the player but more so i like running games. to create a unique experience for my players. to have a great time while creating a memorable story together

For as long as I can remember, I have always loved making stories and sharing them with other people. Growing up in a small town, sharing ghost stories and tall tales made up much of my childhood. Dungeons & Dragons offers the unique chance to take this sharing a step further and create a cooperative story. It only took me a few games to really get hooked on the experience. I'm in my 30's and I have been actively playing for a little over 20 years, switching solely to a DM since 2001 when Third Edition came out. I have had a few years to develop my ability to create ...

I'm a friendly, easy going, and fun full time professional Game Master that loves voice acting and story writing. My passion for DnD has led me to be an Adventurer for 12 years and Dungeon Master for 7. I've run Homebrew and Official Campaign modules for years with my favorite part of TTRPGs being the community I get to play with and run campaigns for. I'd love to get you meet you and run a fun, vast, and immersive campaign together! My campaigns tend to be more intense, serious, gritty, and horror themed so if that sounds great to you, I would love to have y...

I'm Bryan (he/him/39yo), and I've been GMing since I started improvising games with my friends 25 years ago. I enjoy running thematic, engaging games, incorporating music, handouts, and other elements to make each game feel alive. As a military veteran, I know what it's like to wrangle a group of people from different backgrounds, and I use that to facilitate the engaging and memorable games I host. I enjoy combat, but I think it's important to balance that with social roleplay, puzzles, and other interactions. Everything should happen with purpose and drive the game...

Welcome! I've been running games for over 40 years, and I've published material in the game industry before. If you decide to play with me, you'll discover a fun-forward game without having to drop the fun in favor of encumbrance. I tend to lean towards rules-as-written, but that's so we all start with the same rules. I will provide you with an experience that puts your character up front, with tie-ins to backstories and developing moments in the story that involve you directly. If you're looking for old-school style play with all the flavor of new editions and play st...

I have been running TTRPG campaigns since 2015. Started as a player, then moved up to running a session once every couple weeks. Now I'm doing it weekly, and I can't get enough. I love to write and build worlds, and this lets me be every character I've ever written. I'm happy as the Forever DM, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my worlds with others!

Roleplay gaming has been a passion of mine since I was a child, and it has truly shaped me into the person I am today. I believe that RPGs are more than just a hobby; it is a way to connect with people from all walks of life and across the globe and build community and lasting friendships. I hope to inspire and entertain fellow gamers, as well as provide an experience with unforgettable memories.

Hail and Well Met Gamers! Some call me... Jeremy Jordan. I am an old gamer, game designer, RPG enthusiast, and have always held the belief that a game should be fun.

Recently I helped design and launch The Land Roleplaying System, based off of the best selling Chaos Seeds novels by Dr. Aleron Kong. In 2022 I moved 1000 miles from...

As they pull the blindfold from around your head, your eyes recoil at the blinding light. The air is thick with a sulphureous smell and the dust sticks in the back of your parched throat. Slowly your eyes adjust and come into focus revealing a blurry figure… “Welcome to the Tainted Wastes” he says through a wry grin. Hi everyone! My name is Zesty (Aaron) and I've been playing D&D 3, 3.5 and 5e for almost 25 years and DMing on and off for just about as long. Are you looking for a DM that will be as invested in the life of the campaign as the players? How about a cam...
