About Finlay The Storyteller
Hi I'm Finlay! A story focused Dungeon master who enjoys immersive worldbuilding and player/character driven stories where your choices shape the world. Since 2022 I've been working on my interconnected world, with multiple campaigns and parties exploring the same world at the same time. I enjoy allowing campaigns to impact others, creating a living world that evolves as we play. I've been DMing in general since 2020, having completed 3 in person campaigns, I started with 1 party and now I'm managing 4 ongoing ones, with such a vast player base that I now even host my own yearly awards show! I have over 3000 hours on Roll20, alongside an extensive amount of in person DMing so I'm very comfortable with various formats. I am open to all kinds of players whether you're brand new or a veteran, prefer roleplay heavy sessions or lean more into the combat side of things. My overall goal is always to create a fun environment where each player feels equally involved and invested and am always open to feedback!

How Finlay The Storyteller runs games
My games are very story driven and character focused, a big emphasis stays on player choice and long term consequences. I really aim to create a world that feels alive where decisions really matter and change not just your story but the wider setting as well. Roleplay is a core part of my sessions, and I'm more than willing to help new players get into that. On the other hand i do still enjoy running combat connected to the narrative or events that help the world feel lived in rather than just for the sake of it. Above all I like to make my table feel welcoming and balanced, I encourage backstories of any size and will work with the player to incorporate this within the story!
