About me

Hello, fellow adventurers! I'm Thomas, your guide and collaborator in realms of imagination and challenge. My DM style is all about weaving rich narratives where your choices matter, set in worlds that are as dynamic and alive as the characters within them. I love running and leading Westmarches games. My DM style is all about weaving rich narratives where your choices matter, set in worlds that are as dynamic and alive as the characters within them. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or new to the table, I strive to create an inclusive, engaging, and memorable experience for everyone. Since those early days, I've fully embraced the evolution of D&D, diving deep into 5th Edition (5e) and leading two West marches servers.

Dice with Dom

I wasn't able to join the game on time as I hadn't been sent details of the Discord chat, campaign page, or character requirements. I joined and caught up with the group, and character creation took the session's first hour. We then entered a combat which around 2 hours - I felt like the pacing could have been better, and the DM could have focused the group better. Once the GM's confidence working with a group, working with 5e rules, and working with Roll20 improves, I'd be interested in trying something again.

I have been playing in Thomas' games for a while now and there hasn't been a time I didn't have fun during them. He is well familiar with the rules and various tools to make online play flow well and feel immersive. He will accommodate players of various levels of experience, so he works well with both beginners and veterans and is open to feedback. He's your man if you want to have a fun, non-restrictive game.

Been playing in Thomas' games for about 2 years now. Has always had fun settings and campaigns for players to go on. Will sometimes allow homebrew if balanced. Overall a great DM, that makes players want to keep coming back for his sessions.

He is a great friend and GM of mine. Hardly ever said no to homebrew, and continued to make each session better than the next. I've played with him for over 10 years, and have gone to him for assistance on my own modules. 5/5
