About me
I am a 24-year-old Game Master with four years of experience in running Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. With a recent transition from an old tablet to a laptop, I am now equipped to offer paid DM services. I decided to get into DM-ing initially as I had a terrible experience in my first game as a player and I decided I wanted to offer something better to the other players that I had grown close with throughout the experience. This has now evolved as I've become aware of how hard it is to find a game, especially as a new player, and I want to increase accessibility to the hobby while giving myself a fun creative outlet and a platform to socialise. Game Specifications: Platform: Games will be conducted via Roll20 with voice chat facilitated through Discord. Rules and Modifications: The games will operate under the D&D 5e rules with my own modifications. These modifications will be explained in detail before the commencement of the game. I do not strictly adhere to the standard D&D lore; instead, I adapt and create my own homebrew elements. Homebrew Elements: Setting: I design homebrew games set in unique worlds. While I generally prefer non-sci-fi settings, I am open to some flexibility based on player preferences. Custom Magic Items: Players will receive custom, homebrew magic items that grow with them throughout the campaign. These items are tailored to each character's abilities, backstory, personality, and combat style, ensuring a balanced and personalised experience. Investment in Quality: The fees collected from these paid games will be reinvested into the gaming experience through subscriptions to premium services such as Roll20 and a professional map maker. This investment ensures that the quality of the game continually improves. Player Experience: My primary goal is to provide a welcoming and comfortable environment for all players. I encourage players to communicate any topics or personal triggers they wish to avoid. There is a strict policy against disrespectful behaviour towards me or any players, regardless of the fees paid.
GM Style
As a GM I'm still working on my roleplay, it's definitely functional and will not hinder gameplay but I always like to try and improve to make the worlds I create feel more natural and real. I can't do character voices, it's my main flaw as a GM. I much prefer to give a detailed description of any mannerisms, verbal and non verbal. I enjoy combat but I know not every player feels the same, so, there will never be combat for the sake of it. All combat encounters will be able to be talked around or played around with the right skill checks. When in combat I don't want my games to just become a dice rolling exercise, I encourage roleplay within combat and creative thinking will be rewarded.
