How Wayne Ingram runs games

My games are first and foremost about storytelling—bringing worlds to life with dramatic flair, characterful NPCs, and rich narrative arcs that make your character matter. With distinctive voices, layered character portrayals, and atmospheric soundscapes. I aim to create sessions that feel more like collaborative theatre than just another dungeon crawl. I design my worlds to feel alive—full of lore to uncover, mysteries to solve, and cultures to interact with. Whether it’s forgotten ruins, political intrigue, or ancient legends hidden in plain sight, I aim to reward curiosity and reward players who want to dig deeper. If you love the feeling of discovering a world piece by piece, you’ll feel right at home at my table. Whether you're a battle-hardened veteran or just finding your feet, you'll be welcomed into a game where every player gets their moment, where choices have weight, and where fun is just as important as the fantasy. WHY PLAYERS KEEP COMING BACK Players have rated me highest for: 🎭 Storytelling 🗣️ Voices & NPC Acting 💡 Creativity 🌌 Setting the Mood What does that translate to? Games filled with drama, laughs, surprises, and depth. Expect cinematic encounters, emotionally resonant moments, and plenty of room for wild ideas and memorable character arcs. I run my games using Foundry VTT, enhanced with custom visuals, quality-of-life modules, and music to match every mood—whether you're crawling through shadowy ruins or negotiating with celestial beings. BUT DON'T JUST TAKE MY WORD FOR IT… Here are some snippets from some of the reviews of my games from here on SPG. “Wayne is such a great GM... his voices for the characters are incredible; extremely well-acted, differentiated, and engrossingly performed.” “I’ve yet to find a DM with the commitment to entertainment, suspense, and the je ne sais quoi of the game.” “Wayne manages to keep all players entertained and included at every point in the session.” HOW I RUN THE RULES I believe in using the rules as written as the foundation for consistent, fair, and respectful gameplay. Everyone at the table deserves clarity and stability when it comes to how the game works. That said, D&D is a storytelling engine—and sometimes, the rules serve best as a launchpad for unforgettable moments. I’m always open to creative solutions, cinematic choices, and rewarding clever play, so long as it’s grounded in the spirit of the game. If you want a DM who balances drama with laughter, rules with freedom, and character spotlight with party synergy, you're in the right place. Whether you're chasing a villain across planes, uncovering ancient ruins, or just trying to survive your party's antics, my goal is to make your D&D experience unforgettable. Join one of my adventures—and bring your story to life.

Wayne Ingram's ideal table

My ideal table is collaborative, curious, and character-driven. I welcome players who enjoy diving into roleplay, asking questions, forming relationships with NPCs (or questioning their motives), and uncovering the hidden layers of the world around them. You don’t need to be a voice actor or lore expert—just bring a willingness to engage with the world and fellow players. The vibe at my table is welcoming and story-focused, with space for both heartfelt moments and a good laugh. We take the world seriously enough to get immersed, but never at the expense of player comfort or fun. Respect, creativity, and a shared investment in the narrative are what make the table shine.
