About me

I’m an actor, writer, stage manager, and director that has fallen in love with TTRPGs. I have years of experience in collaborative improvisational storytelling that heavily influence how I run games; it all comes back to the players and what their characters do! Even when running modules I make sure every character has their moments to shine and influence the overarching plot. My job as a GM is to make you feel like the main character of your own story, to empower your choices, and sometimes face the consequences of your actions 😈 Let's play together!

If your favorite flavor of D&D 5E is Eberron, Caleb is the DM you are looking for. Friendly, knowledgeable, schedule-accommodating, and a genuine pleasure to socialize with. Look forward to many future sessions.

Caleb's knowledge of the lore of Eberron is impressive. They work to bring in backstories to make you feel a part of the world and engage you. This DM enjoys the fantasy and you can tell. The open world is fantastic but the real treat is going into a dungeon with them. You really have to look hard because something that will develop the story in ways you don't expect is bound to be there. Really a a lot of fun!

Caleb went the extra mile to integrate our character origins into the story and allowed us to drive the action. They are masterful at setting a vivid scene, bringing three-dimensional NPCs to life (with great voices, too) and laying out clues to a mystery with the perfect pace. Even for my first Eberron campaign, I was immersed and invested from the very first second. I recommend Caleb's games to all players, new and experienced.

I appreciate Caleb's style of play and story telling. Caleb knows what he is doing and is able to explain his decisions. He seems to make some of his world up on the fly, which, in my experience is a trait of a great DM. I am happy to be playing with him.

Visually and thematically they are great! I've never been more horiffied to see Strahd decend slowly on her flaming horse over a rioting mob. Great at keeping the rules while allowing for flexiblity too.

The atmosphere that Caleb makes through environmental descriptions and other set-dressing type work makes the world you're playing in feel very real and compelling. I always felt like I could imagine the environment very well when playing with Caleb. Also, nice NPC characterizations; they felt like people with desires, personalities, and independence.
