About DM Derek
I’ve been running games every week for the past three years, creating epic, player-driven adventures. As a laid-back, 'rule of cool' Dungeon Master, I focus on fun, creativity, and empowering my players to be the true heroes of the story. My worlds are rich with lore, but the most important part of any game is the players and their choices. Whether you're a veteran or brand new to the game, I strive to make every session exciting, immersive, and memorable.

How DM Derek runs games
My GM style is laid-back and player-focused, emphasizing fun and storytelling over strict rules. I follow the 'rule of cool'—if it makes the game more exciting and cinematic, I’ll find a way to make it work. While I respect the mechanics, I don’t get bogged down in crunch, preferring a smooth, fast-paced experience where creativity shines.
DM Derek's ideal table
My table is generally pretty relaxed. Players who enjoy collaborative story telling over the hard crunch of combat would fit in well at my table.
