About Derek

Hello everyone! I got my start in TTRPG's as a player in a homebrew RWBY campaign and found my love for running the game soon after. Most of my experience is running long multi-year 5e campaigns through discord, but I am happy to learn new systems or adapt settings for 5e as I've done for Warhammer 40k, Cyberpunk, and RWBY. If over-the-top scenic combat is to your taste, I'm your guy! I also love doing roleplay scenes with voices and accents (some good, some bad). What I can guarantee is that I'll match your effort and creative energy, and that I fully believe that TTRPG's are a collaborative story telling experience where everyone should get to have fun. Looking for players to start running a Cyberpunk campaign soon so hope to see you there!

I got started GMing...

By writing a one shot for some friends, where I accidentally spent 30 minutes role playing through a character interaction with a couple players talking about star constellations in the night sky. Then of course they fought a dragon.

How Derek runs games

I love creating over the top high-stakes combat, and narratives with heavy Roleplay, political intrigue, and interweaving players backstories into major plotlines

Derek's ideal table

I love running games for players that want to have a hand in the narrative, like to be challenged in combat, like to make or at least listen to funny voices and accents, and most importantly are looking to have fun! New players are always welcomed, and while I always document my home rules in session 0, I like players to think creatively and use the environment around them to and bend some rules to solve the challenges I present, so think outside of the box!
