About me

New DM. Big imagination. Your story matters. Hi! I’m Spencer, a newer Dungeon Master who’s deeply passionate about storytelling, worldbuilding, and giving players a space to explore their characters, choices, and consequences. While I’m still early in my DM journey, I’ve already run multiple one-shots with a variety of players—and I’m now stepping into running longer-form campaigns with rich character arcs and evolving storylines. I focus on roleplay, emotional stakes, and world immersion. My games lean into character-driven stories, moral choices, and player creativity, while still keeping the rules in mind. I’m not here to show off—I’m here to help you tell a meaningful story and have fun doing it. What to Expect: A welcoming, flexible DM who listens and adapts Safe, inclusive games with open communication Story-focused sessions with opportunities for combat, exploration, and character development A homebrew world with unique factions, secrets, and mythologies (unless you would like to do a module set in a certain setting). I currently run games over DND Beyond maps, but willing to try a new platform, using Discord for communcation, and I’m always happy to do a Session Zero to create a shared vision and comfort for the group. Whether you’re new to D&D or a veteran looking for a thoughtful table, I’d love to run something for you. Let’s roll some dice and build something unforgettable.

GM Style

I enjoy both roleplay and combat equally—to me, the magic of D&D happens when those elements feed into each other. I love designing complex locations to explore, with secrets to uncover and shifting storylines that react to the players’ actions. Whether it's a tense negotiation or a desperate fight in a collapsing ruin, I want each session to feel like part of a living world. I give players the space to influence the story meaningfully and always try to tie character backstories into the world. As a player, I’ve always felt most connected when my character’s past mattered—so I try to give that same feeling to my players. Whether you're a quiet roleplayer or a bold tactician, I’ll find ways to spotlight your choices and growth. In combat, I strive to keep things challenging but fair—where every encounter pushes the party to think creatively and play smart, without ever feeling like the odds are stacked just for drama. I also roleplay enemies and creatures like they’re thinking, breathing beings with goals, fears, and instincts—not just stat blocks waiting to be defeated. Sometimes they fight to the death. Sometimes they run. Sometimes they talk. I’m the kind of GM who: Wants your backstory to matter Will absolutely throw consequences at you in fun and fair ways Keeps things moving with good pacing and scene changes Welcomes new players and creates a space to learn together Preps a lot behind the scenes, but leaves space for the story to breathe If you're looking for a GM who cares about story, builds a world that reacts to you, and treats player choices with weight—then we’ll probably get along great.
