About me

Greetings, Traveler! I’ve been weaving tales and slaying snacks as a Dungeon Master for over three years, running games everywhere from cozy home tables to bustling conventions and game stores. I specialize in D&D 5e, but I’m always eager to explore new systems and dive into third-party content if it makes the adventure more epic (or chaotic). New to the game? Fantastic! I love helping new players find their footing. I mostly run in-person games, and I’m happy to travel. Just provide the space and a table and I’ll bring the rest. Send a Harpy or PM for booking. Let’s roll some dice and write some unforgettable lore!

GM Style

I’m a player-centered DM who believes the best games are built around the characters at the table. I work closely with players to weave their goals, backstories, and choices into the heart of the narrative. Whether that’s becoming a noble, unlocking ancient secrets, or chasing wild personal ambitions. My focus is on collaborative storytelling, where your decisions genuinely shape the world, the stakes, and the future. I aim for sessions that are immersive, flexible and fun. Where every player feels heard, respected, and excited to see what happens next.

Alex is one of the most creatively flexible DMs I've ever played with. Despite last minute plots or unique things about the characters, he'd be able to include them or mention them later into the session, which shows his attention to details and his players. He also does a good job of balancing out action for all the players to perform things within the game allowing everyone to feel included. Overall I'd highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to play.

Our whole group had a lovely time playing Chapter one of Witchlight with Alex! His pacing was perfect. His gentle whimsy shone bright. You want him as your GM.

Lovely and friendly DM, I played the RP & Puzzle chapters. Amazing vibes and beginner friendly! It's really something else to play without combat, a very different experience. Would recommend! :)

I had a really good time playing with Alex, he allowed us to goof around but held the story. And my so many laughs :DD
