About me
I have been a story teller ever since I was a child. Weaving and crafting adventures has become an unconscious habit for most of my life, and when I discovered Dungeons and Dragons it was as if I had prepared my whole life for this game. My first character was a Tiefling Bard/Barbarian who fought a dullahan, plundered White Plume Mountain, and fought valiantly against an evil sorcerous before he was struck down by a powerful spell. I have been a Dungeon Master for eight years, and it has become my greatest joy in life. I am not a combative DM, and I have a tendency to lean towards the rule of cool. My role as the DM is to tell YOUR story, not mine. I will provide you with plot hooks and ways to move about the world, but it is your world to do with as you wish. D&D is a wonderful game, and it has an incredible community. I believe that everyone has a right to sit at the table and feel safe while enjoying a story of their own making. If that appeals to you, let's have some fun!
GM Style
I am a storyteller first and foremost. I use a fair amount of music and sound effects to create tone setting ambiance, and I try to give each NPC a unique voice (though my voice acting is rather limited). Weaving your characters into the story I'm narrating is a priority so that you feel like you belong in the world, or don't in cases where you are not a native to the land. In terms of gameplay, I am a player advocate and one of my favorite things about D&D is player creativity. It is a welcome challenge to find a way to make your craziest ideas work, and rewarding beyond words when they do.

Charlie is an incredible DM. He took on our group of 6 brand new players and has spent nearly a year teaching us to play. We're all having a blast. I would highly recommend Charlie if you already have a group or if you're a solo player looking for an open seat. You won't be disappointed. Charlie really cares deeply for the game and his players' experience.

Charlie is a fantastic DM and his ability to manage stories while we continually go off in our own directions is something to be admired. I always have a good time in our sessions and the other members really enjoy him as well. For us, Charlie is a great fit and our group worked with a couple before settling on him. He is also willing to do an open ended home brewed campaign.

I am eager to start this campaign, I joined a one shot that Charlie was running, and it was fantastic. I am also in a campaign with Charlie, and his character is the sweetest and great part of the game.

After just a single session I felt really immersed in the world portrayed to us. Out of the box plans were taken without hesitation and seamlessly woven. I can't wait to see how the story progresses and highly recommend joining other campaigns.

Charlie is a spectacular DM overall! Throughout the entire campaign I felt welcomed and included. He is a terrific story teller and the world that he builds is incredible and immersive, the voices that he does are great and the music he adds makes the experience infinitely better. If you're looking for an inclusive, fun, and amazing DM; I would 100% recommend Charlie!

I just participated in a community event he fostered, the game was smaller then expected but Charlie brought fun and exiting gameplay throughout. It felt like a production one shot from unspecified online shows with quality and enjoyment. A great experience from rules of cool to creativity.
