The land of Barovia is cursed, its people trapped in eternal despair. Its ruler a tyrant watching from the shadows. Do you have what it takes to defy the darkness? I specialize in Curse of Strahd, crafting immersive horror adventures filled with rich lore, deep roleplay, and deadly encounters. With a deep knowledge of Ravenloft’s history and atmosphere, I bring Strahd’s domain to life, ensuring every session is filled with tension, mystery, and unforgettable moments. Whether you seek a tale of gothic horror, thrilling combat, or the ultimate test of your party’s will, I’ll guide you through a journey that feels both personal and perilous. The mists are calling. Will you answer?

I became a GM because
It is the perfect group activity for social seeking gamers. I experienced an overpriced and mediocre DM and thought "I could do much better"... and have discovered that I can seriously make an impact on peoples lives in a positive way while doing something I love.
My favorite shows/movies are
Attack on titan, Silo, Scott pilgrim vs the world , LotR
How Kelvin runs games
Im pretty flexible to the groups needs. I apply the rules, but am flexible based on many factors. I love roleplay. I strive to allow my players to really immerse and be able to live inside the story and world. To let them know that they are making unique choices that make a real difference. VOICES. I love voices. Please speak to animals. and npcs. and the dead.

Kelvin's ideal table
My ideal table has a party of open minded, immersing individuals that want to explore Barovia and grow your character and party. The #1 thing however.. is making sure that there is a balance between how much you and the other players get a spotlight. Everyone deserves a chance to speak, and to perform tasks. If everyone is self-conscious of themselves potentially talking too much.. the game runs 100% better :)

I think it's a red flag when players...
Main character energy. Give everyone a chance to speak and act. Be self aware and the whole group flourishes!
I think min/maxing...
Is overrated. Min/maxing just unbalances the game for you and the party. It's a DM's job to balance the game for everyone. Being OP just upsets that balance. I can re-balance it....... but it is sometimes not fun for the min/maxer.
My perfect party mix is
Cleric + friends!
