About me

Hello Adventurers! My name is Ted and I have been a professional DM for Wizards of the Coast previously all the way back in 2003 and have been DM'ing professionally since then! Generally my homebrew campaigns are difficult, some people would compare them to a "Dungeons & Darksouls" type of scenario but fair and balanced. I pay for D&D Beyond and generally allow my players to make their characters using my books shared through the website in order to add value to your experience. I use special lighting through Roll20, as well as expand the realm by offering roleplay sessions between each session through Discord. Due to the Covid-19 epidemic I am currently only offering online services for players with in the future possible in-person sessions. I am looking to expand my repertoire and do professional DM sessions once a week for a variety of individuals, with my most popular homebrew streamed on Twitch every Wednesday. Every session will be done through Roll20, with speaking through Discord and finally a D&D Beyond account to create your characters and work with your inventory and sheets as needed.

GM Style

"Dungeons & Dragonsouls", tough but fair combat with emphasis on big rewards for difficult encounters. Bosses with a good dash of traps and logic puzzles. Rewarding players for outside of the box thinking without breaking RAW, and a reasonable DM for things outside of your control. Days that there may be a lot of roleplay, names that are labeled for NPC's so you can develop a working friendly relationship with them, and more. Generally speaking I keep all rated R content out of my D&D sessions which include sexual encounters and experiences. My belief is that D&D is for adventuring, not for sexual content.
