About me

Years ago, a friend of mine first asked me "What does your character do?", and that gave me the "Ah-ha!" moment that scratched my creative itch like nothing ever has before. Since then, I've been asking others that very same question. I love to help others craft their characters and narratives they are going to experience and provide a one-of-a-kind story that will never be experienced the same. I've spent the past three years both being the dungeon master and a player for D&D campaigns for the Twitch channel, AllChat Entertainment. On this Twitch show, I not only told amazing stories, but I also ran all of the audio and visuals as well. I'm excited to bring that to more people!

GM Style

Roleplaying is what brings me pure joy from a TTRPG. For me, this is a way for a group of individuals to come together and tell an amazing story, and everything I do is in service to making that story the best it can be. I've taken multiple classes on writing, worldbuilding, and what makes a story better. I've even gone as far as to review research papers and formulate my own process for helping build immersion into my games. If you're looking to sink in and become a character, you've come to the right place! For combat, I use either theater of the mind or Talespire. I prefer Talespire as it allows individuals to get a more clear view of the area, but I understand it does come at a cost. I also use Syrinscape with detailed music packs from Monument Studios and Artlist.io to raise the level of immersion!

Played 1 sessions

The DM was very active in helping newer players by answering questions and providing feedback. The DM knows how to set the mood for situations a player might have to figure out and the overall tone of the adventure.

Clayton is an excellent GM whose approach to TTRPGs is one of interesting and diverse storytelling. The effort he puts into his worlds, his campaigns, will leave you breathless and in awe as reveals come and your characters grow. I’ve had the privilege of being a player in many different worlds of his and can’t recommend him enough.

I've had the pleasure of playing through a few of Clayton's sessions now and highly recommend it. Clayton does a lot of research and puts ton of prep into what he does. He gives the players plenty of freedom to have fun and be creative however they want. Clayton also has a lot of great ideas and really tries to implement some new things as he constantly tries to innovate and improve things in any way he can for the betterment of the player experience.

The campaign I enjoyed with Clayton as a GM was the most memorable player experience I've ever had. We played in a custom-made world tailored to our characters histories and experienced a closely-tied storyline full of twist and turns. As a storyteller, he made the world and scenarios feel real and rich. He utilized all sorts of unique and custom art and music to further push the players' experience. From Simon, the half-metal (simic hybrid) chronurgy wizard, I will always remember making best friends with a dragon and traveling the world (and accidentally destroying that entire island 😅). If you join one of Clayton's games, be ready for a wonderful, creativity friendly, inclusive, and fun experience. And maybe encounter a reality-bending beholder or feeble-minded dragon...

Fun, Dark-Themed story with epic implications. Really knows how to create a vibe/space of immersion.
