About me
I've been playing D&D for 4 years and DMing for nearly as long, mainly hosting games online. I started with a small group of friends, and as more people joined, my passion for storytelling grew. Now, I run immersive campaigns where player choices and actions shape the world around them. The adventures we create together leave lasting impacts on the story and the game world. When you play at my table, it’s a shared experience. I love crafting stories where your character’s journey matters, and you leave the game excited and ready for the next session. New players are always welcome, and I’ll guide you through with patience. For veterans, I create unique challenges and homebrew content to keep things fresh. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Ash is a fantastic DM! His worldbuilding is rich and immersive, and his roleplaying really brings the setting and NPCs to life. Every session feels like stepping into a living, breathing world. He's also incredibly welcoming and easy to play with—whether you're a veteran or new to the game, Ash makes sure everyone is having a great time. Highly recommend joining one of his campaigns if you get the chance!

Ash is a creative, energetic DM with a gift for adapting to player chaos in his richly detailed homebrew world. He runs a relaxed, open table where everyone feels welcome to lean in, take risks, and have fun. His combat encounters are fast-paced, dynamic, and genuinely exciting—he roots for his players and makes them feel like heroes. There's plenty of space for roleplay, which he not only welcomes but actively encourages. On top of all that, Ash knows the rules inside and out and never hesitates to support newer players as they learn the game.

Ash was an amazing DM for me and my friend and even though it was our first time playing DnD, he was super patient and helpful through any issues we had. I would definitely recommend him as a DM for other new players that may still be learning or new to DnD like me and my friend. All in all he gave us an awesome first experience!
