About me
Hi there! I’m Alex, a PhD neuroscientist, bassist, Magic: The Gathering fanatic, and aspiring author with 10+ years of Dungeon Master experience. I’ve run sprawling homebrew campaigns, iconic published adventures, and one-shots filled with unexpected twists. 💡 My Philosophy: We create the story together—your choices shape the world, and every character gets their moment to shine. Whether you love intricate intrigue, heart-pounding battles, or deep character-driven storytelling, I craft experiences tailored to you. Over the years, I’ve introduced dozens of new players to D&D. If you're a beginner, I’ll guide you through the mechanics seamlessly. If you're a veteran, I’ll challenge you with reactive storytelling, strategic combat, and compelling roleplay. No railroading. No closed doors. Just an immersive world that breathes, reacts, and evolves with you. Let’s roll some dice and build a tale worth telling. 🏰✨
GM Style
🎲 My DM Style – What You Can Expect 🗺️ Immersive Worldbuilding – A living world filled with reactive NPCs, deep lore, and meaningful choices. 🎭 Roleplay-Driven Adventures – Dynamic characters, unique voices, and storylines that weave in your backstory. ⚔️ Engaging, Tactical Combat – High-stakes battles with clever villains, creative terrain, and unique mechanics. 💡 Creative Freedom – Rules matter, but Rule of Cool moments make for the best stories! 🎵 Atmospheric Play – Custom maps, immersive music, and descriptions that bring the world to life. 🔮 Genres I Love: Dark Fantasy, Gothic Horror, Intrigue, and Epic Adventure, inspired by Neil Gaiman, Edgar Allan Poe, Lovecraft, Brom, Joe Abercrombie, and Brandon Sanderson. 📖 What I Run: I love both homebrew and published adventures, having run Curse of Strahd, Rime of the Frostmaiden, and Tomb of Annihilation for multiple groups. If you’re looking for a tailor-made adventure, I’d love to craft one just for you! 🔥 Want an unforgettable D&D experience? Join me at the table. 🦇
