About me
I have been a dungeon master for 5 years now and a digital artist for 4. Just last year I started combining the two. I personally draw all the assets, NPCs and monsters/villains in my campaigns. Maps are the next on my list to conquer but most times a few scribbles and a good description is all you need! right? right! I love getting silly and goofing on with my players but will not shy away from serious themes as the core of any story. At the end of the day I'm having the most fun when everyone is giggling and engaged. I prefer using Discord, Theatre of the mind and Roll 20 but I've been experimenting with One More Multiverse. I want to create a safe space for anyone to express themselves. (BIPOC and LGBTQ+ are very welcome.)
GM Style
My main passion for DnD has been exploring strategies and mechanics that will allow any player (new or experienced) to fully enjoy the system without any of the unnecessary or boring rules. My "homebrews" are more or less just taking and tweaking concepts from different games and editions to create a more seamless and engaging session. I love roleplay and combat over anything else. This is not the place for intricate puzzles or political dramas, however, my goal is to curate the story and encounters to fit the players best. If there's one thing I want players to bring to the table it's a curiosity to explore their characters as they are challenged. From my perspective the environment and conflicts are my job but the fun really comes from the players and their personal stories and objectives.

Whats great about this DM is the their ability to create spectacular characters with blistering unique personalities to interact with, while grounding the characters into the lives they live, and a great sense of the possibilities for the mechanics and beyond them. Each session is chalk full of new experiences, story line decisions, and a modest to heaping helping of danger. The world building is vivid and imaginative but each engagement retains its meaningfulness. Role playing with DM is a must and downright enjoyful. -Broc 'Ol Lee

Austin is one of the best DM’s I’ve ever played with. The artwork for the characters is awesome. His ability to build a world and story is amazing too. He’s also a really friendly guy who respects everyone in the party. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Birds is an experienced DM with incredible knowledge of the 5e system, but is also an amazing improvisor that allows his players to world-build and character-build with their own ideas and desires. Each character he brings to life in his campaigns is unique and interesting, and his voice work is top notch. He has a wicked sense of humor, can roll with anything you throw at him, and you can tell he truly loves to play and collaborate in D&D. I would recommend him to anyone new to the system, but also anyone who enjoys the game no matter their level of experience. Just try out one session and I am certain you'll agree with my review.
