About me
Hello, adventurers! My name is Cody and I love telling a good story with good friends. I came into the TTRPG world fairly recently, but playing and DMing Dungeons and Dragons has quickly become a passion. Players at my table can expect a character-driven, roleplay-heavy, narrative-focused campaign set in my own homebrew world. If you are looking to develop an unhealthy attachment to imaginary characters in an imaginary world, I have a good feeling you'll be a perfect fit!
GM Style
What I bring to the table: - A love of epic/high fantasy - Years of professional storytelling (it's my job!) - A detailed and expansive homebrew world - A narrative built for and driven by your characters - Plenty of homebrew magic items, monsters, spells, and subclasses - Lots of accents and voices (quality may vary) - Rules-light gameplay (I love the chaos) - Fewer, but more complex and impactful combats If there's anything you should know about me as a DM, it's that I will be as obsessed with your characters as you are. I love backstories of all shapes and sizes and helping my players fit their characters into the world and narrative of the campaign. For that reason, I strive to put cooperative storytelling at the forefront. How your character reacts and changes are of equal importance to the things that happen to them. Unsurprisingly, role-playing is king in my games, both in and out of combat. It's not unusual for a full session to pass without combat, so I tend to try and make every combat memorable and impactful. The plots of my campaigns definitely tend towards dark and heavy themes, but I always strive to find opportunities for levity and I encourage everyone to be unafraid of goofing around when the time is right!

Cody's attention to detail has led to some really intricate and beautiful moments. His world-building is like reading a book, his characters are meticulously detailed, and the dramatic story will have your jaw dropping. He lets the players have their moments and adapts to anything we throw his way. You get pulled in when listening to him describe a scene or listening to the creative accents/personalities he makes for each of his characters.

Cody is a GM for one of my campaigns I am in and he is fantastic! The stories are always great, the characters are well developed and, he really sets it up for you to RP with the table if you would like. I would recommend Cody for a beginner or a seasoned player.

Cody is, without a doubt, the best GM I've ever played with. No other GM I've ever played with has cared so much about not only the story and the world of the game, but also each and every PC. Never in my years of playing have I seen a GM get as excited about my character's backstory as I am. He gives every single PC their time to shine, and he makes you feel important without feeling invincible or OP. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I am currently in two campaigns that Cody is running. He has been my dm for an approximately a year and a half now. From the amazing character voices to the intricate stories and interwoven character backstories, Cody is a phenomenal dm. He works hard to prep exciting and engaging sessions that always have me laughing or smiling. Whether you are new to rpgs or are a veteran player, he will make you feel comfortable and confident in whatever game you are playing. He takes his players play styles into account and really brings forth a fun and exciting experience where every player feels included and involved in there game. I couldn’t recommend him enough.
