About me
Hello There! My name is Alex (they/them). I'm an educator, an actor, and a TTRPG writer. I've been running D&D Campaigns for a little under five consecutive years (one of the only good things to pick up again during the VID-19) and I've been a player in a myriad of campaigns for seven. Given my unique outlook on D&D and all things roleplay heavy, I do my best to cater sessions to the skill level of my players. Games are devised to match your speed! If you want a battle-heavy, war-torn world, I've got you. Need a beach episode or a shopping spree? Absolutely. Something with an easier pace that's more reliant on your roleplaying skills? Say no more, I've got you covered. I've only recently discovered Start Playing as a platform to both play in and run campaigns, so here are a few things to know: ~ I am nonbinary ~ This is an LBGTQ+ safe space ~ I do mental health check-ins Games I have run recently: ~ Dragons of Stormwreck Isle ~ Sharruth's Tomb (One-Shot) ~ Dragon of Icespire Peak (x3 - full campaign, one-shot standalone, one-shot series) ~ Custom Magic World (Unnamed for player privacy) ~ Lost Mine of Phandelver ~ Waterdeep Dragon Heist I'm available for custom campaigns, but my rates will vary based on the design and components of the game. DM me to talk rates!
GM Style
My style is fluid! Immersive stories are my preferred route, but I'm game to work with you to enhance a world and tell a story that you will love.
