About me

I have been playing RPG's since Final Fantasy 1, and Chronotrigger all the way up to Baldur's Gate 3. I've been playing Dnd on Roll20 for a year now, and have been a DM for 9 months. I like to run a 25/25/50 split of roleplay/exploration/combat, have a fun time, and teach new people how to play DnD. I use modules as a framework for the story, but make up lots of different encounters, and will use a d100 and some different random encounter tables. I like to reward players with loot from random loot tables, and have a magic item wishlist for players. Players also get their own discord channel to post backstory, share character art, and show off their items. I have players start off with rolling for stats twice, 32 point buy if you don't like either of those rolls. Players get a starting feat, and one of each, common item, uncommon item, and uncommon armor. Ability score improvement and feat every 4 levels in a class.

GM Style

My goal is to introduce new players to Dungeons & Dragons. If your interest came from Lord of the Rings, Baldur's Gate 3, or Critical Role you might like my games . I want open minded patient players that want to have fun, and move quickly in combat. My content has gruesome dark themes, and dark humor, although I prefer to keep things light and a little silly. I use ambient music, and sound effects, and encourage others to use them as well, sparingly, and never on someone else's turn. I like to move quickly through content, and give out lots of magic items. In combat I like to limit turns to one minute, I will suggest an action for you if you need some help.
