I became a GM because

My mind overflows with fantasy—even in daily life, at home or work. Since childhood, I’ve wandered through imaginary worlds, and those memories still burn bright. I want to share that wonder with my players, to make every game feel like a thrilling, unforgettable adventure.

I got started GMing...

I started playing D&D when I was 9, after my older brother brought home Vecna Reborn. He was eager to gather our friends and DM for us. We were thrilled—those days were pure magic. 9 Years later, that same nostalgia stirred in me. I knew I wanted to relive it—and share that wonder with you.

My favorite books are

Some of my favorite books shaped the worlds I love to explore: I, Strahd, The Witcher series, The Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and the Legends of Drizzt. I’m drawn to dark heroes, deep lore, and epic journeys—and I bring that spirit to every game I run.

How DM Alex runs games

🎲 Epic Roleplay, Heroic Battles, and Unforgettable Stories! ⚔️ I run immersive sessions where character-driven roleplay meets cinematic combat and sweeping adventures. Whether you're here for deep storytelling or thrilling dungeon crawls, my goal is to create a mature, respectful space where everyone can dive into the game they love. I prepare detailed maps 🗺️, tokens 🧙, quests 📜, and can assist with character creation to ensure you're ready to jump right in. 🔥 The Rule of Cool is King 👑 If it sounds awesome, we’ll find a way to make it happen—within reason and with style. The Rule of Cool means your wild ideas and dramatic moments are welcome here. Want to swing from a chandelier while casting a spell? Let’s roll for it! 🎭 My tables favor creativity, cinematic moments, and fun over rigid mechanics—without losing sight of balance and fairness.

DM Alex's ideal table

At my table, you'll find a well-organized, welcoming environment where every player—beginner or veteran—has the space and support to thrive. I use a balance of professional storytelling techniques and tactical gameplay to make sure everyone feels involved, engaged, and empowered to shape the story together. 🌟 Beginner-friendly doesn't mean simplified. I explain rules clearly, guide new players patiently, and make sure no one feels left behind. At the same time, experienced players will find depth, challenge, and plenty of opportunities for clever strategy and rich character arcs. 🎭 Roleplay is central. Players are encouraged to flesh out their fears, hopes, flaws, and bonds—and bring those emotions to the table. Whether you're a silent brooder or a chaotic trickster, there's room for your voice in the story. 🤝 Cooperation over competition. We build character connections, friendships, rivalries, and party dynamics together. The game isn't just about beating monsters—it's about becoming more than strangers at a table. Respect and inclusion are non-negotiable values. 🎲 While dark themes are part of the setting, there's always room for laughter when it fits. My games often include light humor, character banter, and unexpected moments of warmth to balance the tension. 🧩 Choices matter. Your actions shape the world. My campaigns are filled with branching paths, morally complex decisions, and player-driven consequences. Everyone contributes to the living story, and no two parties will ever follow the same path. If you're looking for a table that supports creative collaboration, celebrates character depth, and turns strangers into allies (both in and out of game)—this is the place for you. 🕯️🎭🤝

I love it when a player
