About Tom

I've been gaming for several years, and have been DMing Dungeons and Dragons since January of 2025. Since then I've been DMing 4 times a week. I've been busy and I love doing this. Join me and find out what I bring to the table.

I became a GM because

I've always had a passion for storytelling. This is a new, and wonderful facet to that...interactive storytelling.

My favorite shows/movies are

My Hero Academia, Bob's Burgers, all of the cool/retro 80's flicks, anything Star Wars of Indiana Jones. Realizing my dream of writing a Back to the Future campaign...and hopefully Breakfast Club is next.

When I'm not running games I'm...

writing campaigns. Currently writing (and running) a Back to the Future campaign, and in the early stages of an American Revolution campaign.

How Tom runs games

I prioritize fun, insist on inclusion and make opportunity for everyone to play along. Creative problem solvers, energetic role-players and tanky barbarians needed ASAP!

I deal with rules issues by...

assessing the applicability of the choice based on how realistic it is, and what it would mean for the story, party, quest. I'm a "yes...and" GM, but at times you have to be a "no...but" GM.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

John Hughes

Rules are...

an incredible outline, but fun is the overall story here

Tom's ideal table

Let's not take ourselves too seriously. Let's all agree that we're adventurers and enthusiastically join quests. Let's find unique, and creative, ways to solve problems. Let's be kind, consider others, and allow everyone to have the spotlight.
