About me

Want a DM who can elevate your D&D game to amazing new heights? You've found them. I'm Casey, your professional DM. I'm the DM other DMs like to play with. As a gifted voice actor with years of experience, I inject life & character into my NPCs. That's just the start. As a TV & Film writer, I know how to draw your PC into the narrative, their backstory, wants & goals, for a 100% tailor-made playing experience. I also bring immersive music, sensory-filled narration, and a creative mind trained for improv. If you want deep character RP or wacky adventures, my games are full of chances to role-play, solve mysteries, and face monsters in inventive ways. At our table, rulebooks come second to Good Storytelling. Exploration & RP outweigh combat, but it plays a fun part! Come for a *spooky* good time, I love scaring PCs with frights tailored around their Lines & Veils. (You're always, *always* going to be safe at my table.) My inclusive, easy-going style guarantees an incredible experience for players of all kinds. I look forward to telling amazing stories with you!

GM Style

When sitting down to a great table, what matters most is having a DM that cares about their players having a *great time*. Someone driven to make the game come to life and engage you. That's my super power. As your DM, I focus all my energy in building a fun and safe table-- virtual or otherwise-- where you feel like you can sink your teeth into a great story that YOU help tell. Whether you're a tried-and-true expert or rolling up your first PC, you're going to have an amazing time at my online table. There's nothing I love more than custom-tailoring the game to focus on your character, their background, and what drives them. Between bracing thrills, engaging mysteries, and a vibrant cast of NPCs, you'll be invited to explore a world of sights, music & sound that bring the story to life. Each game is crafted around your strengths & tastes. Obvi rules matter at the table, but I'm a big believer in House Rules-- and just as much in the Rule of Cool. RAW shouldn't get in the way of a great moment in the game, or impede a good story. Last but not least, you're getting a DM who's a gifted voice actor and a writer of TV & Film, who understands Story and the ingredients that make them sing. A perfect balance of prep & improv awaits you at a table, with a colorful cast of voices at the ready. If you've been searching for a DM who makes your games unforgettable, you're in luck. You've found them.

This was my first time playing a level 10 character and my return to TTRPGs after a bit of a break, and I couldn't have asked for a better re-entry than with Casey at the helm. The session was incredibly well-prepared and thoughtfully paced, perfectly structured for a one-shot that still offered a satisfying narrative arc and a clear, rewarding conclusion. Casey’s energy remained high and engaging throughout the four-hour session, keeping us immersed and entertained. At no point did the game feel rushed or drag; everything flowed naturally, and the transitions between exploration, combat, and roleplay were seamless. The session felt safe with the other players and was a great creative space to take risks and enjoy the story together. If you’re looking for a polished, immersive, and high-energy one-shot or campaign experience, I highly recommend Casey. I’ll definitely be signing up for more games!

Casey is amazing. The world we were brought into is so alive that I was sucked in from the start. The NPC's were incredible. The combat was brutal, but fair. The collaboration between players and Casey was sublime. Playing DnD is about having fun, but sometimes you get the chance to genuinely make memories. That's what we got to do.

Completed a one shot with Casey. He quickly set the stage and got each player involved immediately. Casey did a great job introducing NPCs including great voice acting for each. He knows the rules very well. Great mix of role playing and fighting. Definitely would play with Casey as GM again.

Casey was a great GM and I would love to play again with them if I have time. Great story telling and environment, fun characters (I will miss Lugrod!), and well balanced combat. The did one of the Slaydium games, which was more combat focused, but he would be a great GM for a roleplaying game as well.

Casey is an absolute powerhouse of a DM! Their voice acting brings every NPC to life, one moment you're chatting with mysterious Greek lady, the next you're terrified of a whispering eldritch horror. The immersion is chef’s kiss! And when combat rolls around? Smooth, snappy, and deadly efficient. No slogging through endless turns just pure, tactical excitement. If you're looking for a DM who balances storytelling and action like a pro, Casey is the one to beat!
