About me

I am a perma DM of 5 years and have worked with veterans, new players and everywhere in between from the ages of 10 to 50, I have run full years long spanning homebrew campaigns and one shots as well as various official modules

GM Style

I enjoy roleplay though my voices aren't the greatest and I have lots of experience creating in-depth battle systems, open to developing any character that you come up with and working them into the world so that you feel welcome

So we are a beginner player, our first ever campaign we have Colin as the DM and they are truly a wonderful DM to have (/gen). The level of care and time they put into our sessions is so appreciated. They are extremely patient with any and all questions and really make the campaign their own, going above and beyond by taking the time to create specific items tailored to each character. Colin is able to come up with and portray the NPCs in such a way that they are each unique and memorable in their own way. Example: there's a silly little goblin, his name is Glimglock and he is a high level rogue. He is by far the entire parties favourite NPC, and we're all extremely invested and love the little dude. But not just him, Colin is able to create this connection with all the NPCs they play. They do just such an amazing job at immersing us in the story, and the energy? The vibes?? Immaculate??? We're all at the edge of our seats, holding our breaths. The serious moments get even our most chaotic member to mellow out, and the gravity they impart on these scenes is... insane (/pos). And the fact that so many times, these scenes, the lore, just... everything ...is improv in that moment??? You would never be able to tell! Only reason we know is because they told us! Colin really, honestly is such a talented DM and personally, we think we're very lucky to be a player in one of their campaigns (/gen). And to top it all off, if they weren't already amazing enough, the environment they create is just so inclusive and so safe. As someone who tends to be anxious and has had... questionable experiences when it comes to inclusion, we felt comfortable and welcomed in absolutely no time flat (/m). Anyways, if you take nothing else from this, please know that Colin is an wonderfully amazing DM and that if you ever get the chance to be a part of one of their campaigns, you are in for a treat (/pos /gen).

Colin is a wonderful DM. This isn't my first campaign, but this is my first campaign where the sessions can last 12+ hours. I always look forward to the sessions and everyone seems to have a great time 😊

Colin was a very helpful and entertaining DM. They were very kind and even helped me throughout the campaign because I am relatively new. They used many different voices to really set the scene and make the campaign more entertaining.

Amazing DM. They were always setting the mood and trying to keep things fun throughout the campaign. They were doing great voice acting and keeping it fun for everybody.
