About me

Howdy folks! I've been playing D&D since 2018 - designing new content ever since! I'm a New Player/LGBTQ+/Neurodivergency friendly DM, I use the Consent Checklist and X-Card system for all my games. In 2019 I created the 5E Player Screen - a player aid for new/inexperienced and Neurodiverse players to help them remember the rules on the fly! I'm also the creator of The Shifting Spire -Think D&D meets Takeshi's Castle. You can check out the short run of the Actual Play of this adventure on Youtube. I use a mix of digital map-making tools, voice modulators, AR masks and animated VTT to create an immersive experience for all my players! You can find my shows on Twitch, and my D&D content on DriveThruRPG at the links below: https://www.twitch.tv/brainbeaststudios https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse/pub/15150/ShaunSunday

GM Style

I am a Roleplay Heavy DM - I get right into character voices, using Voice Modulation and Augmented Reality to bring my NPCs to life. I also have a focus on full immersion using a mix of maps, Syrinscape ambient audio and the fx mentioned above to craft the adventure we embark upon! During play I blend serious moments with comedic beats, I'm not afraid to get silly when the opportunity presents itself. I always take care to have players fill out the RPG Consent form and prepare themselves for using safety tools during play, to make sure I don't include any content that will make players uncomfortable. As a DM with ADHD, I take care to make sure all players feel valued and get their time in the spotlight, as well as making sure players feel comfortable to do whatever stimming/focusing activities they need, while guiding them through their turn if they need a little help.

Shaun is an inclusive GM who balances a strong foundation of storytelling with space for his players to worldbuild. He is attentive and humorous, and very open for feedback both from in front of and behind the DM's screen. His games are fun, and fun is a hard thing to quantify and reliably produce. He always ensures his table has a good time.

Shaun is passionate about D&D and it comes through in his DMing. He is driven to tell an interesting story and to get the players involved as much as possible. He is able to roll with the chaos of a session well, and experiments with various forms of tech to try and further enhance his online games. Overall, I had a good time playing in Shaun's game.

Shaun is a great DM that will have you invested in your game from the get go. His out of the box ideas/voices will keep you on your toes as a player as well. Some very unique stories that will be recounted when people ask "whats the most crazy situation your character has been in?" If you haven't played in one of his games you should do so, you wont regret it.
