About me

With over 12 years of experience and running more groups then I can count; I know how to craft an adventure that will bring you and your friends to tears. I do this by placing YOU at the center of it all. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. For this is YOUR story. Not mine, not your friends, YOUR STORY, And You know what? I still can't get enough of how unbelievably creative my players can be and if we add in what YOU bring to the table it will be even better. I love these games and I love the stories and memories that WE ALL create TOGETHER. My games are thoughtful, Inclusive, and full of Details from all of my players. But most of all they are unbiased and NON JUDGEMENTAL. I work hard to make sure everyone has an opportunity to shine and feel Safe at my table. I am the game master that will take ANY story you give me and see it through to the end. But most of all, i will work with you out of character in discord and talk for hours on end if you want about an idea you have. Give it to me and I will run it. For my name is Shadow, and I will run the stories you want to tell. “Your story, starts now” **A review from a very valued player in one of my Campaigns by Jared Gallop** *"Shadow is an INCREDIBLE storyteller, allows for a LOT of really cool story to happen and is really good about rule of cool, maintaining balance throughout some really insane encounters. I've played with him for almost 2 years now and he NEVER disappoints. Shadow also is really good about incorporating your backstory into the campaign, and will ALWAYS take into account what you want with your character. He is very knowledgeable and friendly, always wants to make sure people feel comfortable and safe in his games. Most of all, he is both a fantastic dungeon master and a great friend."*

GM Style

~~~Fun and enjoyment~~~ At my Table, Fun and the enjoyment of my Players is my Number 1 priority. I use a number of tabletop safety tools as well as making sure I am open and available to any concerns my players have before or during all of my sessions. The last thing I want is for anyone to feel unwelcome or uncomfortable at my table. You can always reach me on “start playing” or in discord if you have any questions. ~~~Homebrew Allowed~~~ Now, I do love the Dungeons and Dragons system because it lets the players try anything they want to do. The skys the limit and “Homebrew” ( Homebrew is fan terminology for game material made by players of a game, rather than by an official or third-party publisher.) is something I actually love and support in all of my worlds. However, I do try to run RAW (Rules as written or otherwise known as The official rules of Dungeons & Dragons). So we can discuss homebrew rules or items if you might like. That said, if you want to try something I can offer suggestions on how to make it RAW, while still being able to do what you want. Though it might take some trial and error. ~~~Dungeons and Dragons is a TEAM game.~~~ Look at it this way, say you get a fancy new item and destroy a boss! It is both climatic and gratifying as the blood of your enemy spatters all around you. You let out a cheer and scream loudly as your enemy drops and lies at your feet in a bloody mess. Then all of a sudden the town folk goes nuts! Celebrations are happening all around as they run and swarm ONLY you... Hmmm. ” You look back at your party, they are filled with sadness as the town folk are thanking YOU and not THEM as lets face it YOU did most of the damage. Later that night, your party leave you, Citing: “what are we to you? Just your merry band of FILL INS? Your EXTRAS?” Morrow of the story, The other people at the table feel like they were just watching YOU kill a big bad boss. This may be fun for YOU, but it is not for THEM. Dungeons and Dragons is a TEAM based game where EVERYONE is fighting TOGETHER and wants to help YOU WIN. They want to CELEBRATE WITH YOU. There is no “I” in the word “team” and I will as the game master will pull that card on YOU and truly put that scenario into focus. ~~~Conclusion~~~ I am enthusiastic to say the least, and I enjoy all aspects of dungeons and dragons. Whether it's roleplay or combat, I spend tons of time planning out things you will love. Combat ranges from easy to difficult. Tactics depend on the creatures you are fighting. Creatures will fight as their personalities are dictated. A smart creature might not always just go for the closest person, while a tactician will have plans on how to go about fighting the party properly and high class demons and devils who are sneaky and very smart might be master tacticians. Know that before you join my games, I play my enemies and big bosses smartly. If you can come up with big plans that can take many sessions to see to the end, they can too. Welcome players to my games where stories take front and center stage and player opinions matter. Your story starts now.
