About me

Greetings, fellow adventurers! For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of being a Dungeon Master, and my passion for Dungeons & Dragons has only grown. I currently play with the 2024 Player's Handbook rules for D&D 5th Edition. In my games, you'll experience a rich blend of social interaction, exploration, and combat. I always aim to strike a balance among the three core pillars of D&D. So, ready your gear and let's embark on an epic journey!

GM Style

As a Game Master, I thrive on the three core pillars of Dungeons & Dragons: social interaction, exploration, and combat. My aim is to weave these elements seamlessly into every session, ensuring that every player's interests are catered to. It excites me to create expansive worlds ripe for discovery, foster intense or engaging dialogue with NPCs, monsters, or bosses, and initiate exhilarating combat that truly tests your characters. My goal is to cultivate an environment where your characters can shine and, most importantly, where you have a blast. So, why not join the adventure? Let's make some unforgettable stories together! I have a link to my YouTube channel of which I record my games through OBS. Check it out sometime!

This specific game master knows exactly how to make games fun. Every time we have played I’ve always felt included and was able to play the game as soon as possible. This gamemaster has many good voice acting characters and visuals that are outstanding. For beginners this gm is very helpful and makes sure that you understand how to play without feeling overwhelmed.

I may be biased since I'm his wife, BUUUTTT!!! I have the benefit of seeing behind the scenes! Rashaad spends an immense amount of time just preparing for each and every game he runs, be it a one shot, a once-a-month, or our bi weekly games. If you have the option of joining a campaign via D&D Beyond, he owns all of the purchasable material, so you have 100% of everything available to making a new character or adjusting a current one!! His attention to detail knows no bounds. He frequently refreshes himself on the rules and builds, is kind enough to help organize player inventory for higher level games, Rule of Cool totally applies and is used as often as possible!! I think one of my favorite qualities is that he allows for optimizations for new loots finds (lets you pick what kind of +1 +2 +3 weapon you actually get, doesn't force a random one) and ensures that drops are balanced so everyone will get something that actually fits and works for their character, which is insanely kind and considerate of each player. The games are always very balanced thanks to his EXTREMELY EXTENSIVE spreadsheet he created on his own. Like good lord I cannot express the level of information available on this sheet of his and it's so impressive!! Rashaad has rightfully earned his place as my favorite DM, wife or not 🤣 and I cannot wait for everyone here to experience this mastermind!!

Dedicated DM that always makes each session feel like an incredible chapter on a fantastic adventure. Had him as a DM for years and never left a session feeling underwhelmed or dissapointed.
