About Lloyd
Hello adventurers! My name is Lloyd, I am the founder of Beneath The World Tree and I have been a Games Master for about 9 years now. My focus is on making a fun and satisfying story regardless of player history with the game. No matter whether your characters are sailing the high seas, exploring a derelict spaceship, attending a seminar or sitting for an evening meal, you should be experiencing a well crafted adventure you will never forget. At Beneath The World Tree we endeavour to construct such campaigns. Adventures that will engross the mind, bringing the players into the world as their character, with hundreds of character options, immersive soundscapes and unique content layered to create a vivid gameplay experience. I look forward to creating unique experiences with you across strange worlds, if you think we might get along then come join me in an exciting adventure! If you wish to contact me you can send me a direct message on here or message through the Beneath The World Tree Facebook, Instagram, or Discord channel. Please note that messages on Facebook/Instagram/Discord tend to have quicker response times.

I got started GMing...
As a way to break through some writers block for a book I was doing. Turns out I just needed to pivot from a book and into making a world for adventurers!
My favorite shows/movies are
LoTR & The Hobbit Trilogies hands down! I don't have a favourite show as there are way too many to choose from!
When I'm not running games I'm...
Crafting Worlds, Shaping Horns, Drinking Mead, Playing Games or Hanging out with Friends & Family
How Lloyd runs games
As a GM I try to give a good mix of everything from roleplaying NPC's to story telling. I believe having this mix makes for a great game, it allows me to be versatile and switch between comedic sections and serious encounters. As the one who will lead you through the adventure, helping players gain a sense of immersion is what I aim for. My wish is to get everybody involved, I may lead the adventure, but my players are the ones who live it.

I once ran a session...
For 14 Players... It was a chaotic nightmare of epic proportions that was also one of the greatest games I have ever done.
Rules are...
Meant to be flexible. Sometimes the Rule of Cool should take precedent over staunch adherence to the Rules as Written or Intended.
When it comes to voices
I try my best and I don't expect anyone else to do it if they aren't comfortable doing so.
Lloyd's ideal table
I strive to create a welcoming, inclusive table where players of all backgrounds feel safe, respected, and valued. My games are best suited to adventurers who enjoy a rich mix of roleplay, character-driven storytelling, theatrical flair, and a healthy dose of humour. Whether you're here to deliver dramatic monologues, crack in-character jokes, or explore meaningful moments between the chaos, there's a place for you at the table.

I think it's a red flag when players...
repeatedly ignore the DM or other players requests, or consistently don't arrive on time.
I think min/maxing...
Is fine as long as it can be explained through a players backstory and roleplaying.
My table is not the place for...
My table is not the place for discrimination, harassment, or toxic behaviour. I won’t tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or ableism. This is a safe, inclusive space for collaborative storytelling—respect for others is essential.
