About Isaac
I am a passionate DM from NYC, playing and DMing 5e for the last several years after starting with 3e, primarily in Forgotten Realms. I tell bold stories with forward plot momentum, challenging combat, and play balanced across combat, roleplay, and exploration. I use discord voice & video and Owlbear Rodeo for VTT.

How Isaac runs games
I meet every player before the game to learn their style of fun, share my table rules, and align expectations. I want every session to be fun and memorable: building on the group's imagination and my own. As an actor and improviser, I love the theatrical elements of roleplay and using a unique coterie of fantasy NPCs to bring life to a world. As a designer, I enjoy challenging and balanced combat that leverages the tactical elements of class as well as giving life to players' death-defying ideas that will be told over tavern fires for years to come.

immersive (within the fantasy) while still interactive (around a virtual table)
I love it when a player
remembers tiny details about other players and the world
I think it's a red flag when players...
rules lawyer, metagame, or put down other players
