About me

Hello adventurers! I’m Alan (he/him), a passionate and inclusive Dungeon Master with a lifetime of storytelling through theater, writing, and roleplaying games. My games are deeply roleplay-driven, with meaningful character choices and cinematic combat that blends tactical depth with narrative stakes. I specialize in worldbuilding rich, immersive settings, complete with dynamic NPCs, custom encounters, and morally complex stories that respond to player actions. Whether you’re a first-time adventurer or a veteran looking for your next great campaign, my table is a welcoming, beginner-friendly space where collaboration and creativity shine. My background in environmental studies helps me craft worlds that feel grounded, alive, and full of wonder. I run games using the 2024 D&D 5e ruleset with a story-first approach, always putting player experience and agency at the center of the story. First session is always free—come see if it’s the right fit!

GM Style

Expect story-first adventures with plenty of room for your characters to impact the world. I prioritize roleplay, meaningful choices, and player agency where your decisions will shape the world and the story in lasting ways. Combat in my games is tactical and cinematic, but always in service of the narrative. I enjoy crafting tense and creative fights that feel like action scenes out of your favorite movie or anime. I love running immersive worlds, grounded with consistent logic and full of rich lore, living NPCs, and morally complex dilemmas. My tables are inclusive and collaborative, with an emphasis on safety tools and communication to ensure everyone is having fun. Whether you're looking for some gritty urban horror or a high fantasy quest, I've got a story for you!
