About me

I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons since the AD&D days, as a player and as a DM. I love creating imaginative stories together, with room for both clever roleplay and challenging combat.

GM Style

I encourage playfulness and creativity. As an author, I like to give my players time to think and have fun with words, co-creating fantastic stories that none of us could create by ourselves.

This DM was genuinely outstanding. Definitely one of the best I've played with. Their creativity was unreal. The world they built felt incredibly detailed and alive, packed with compelling narratives, memorable NPCs, and plot hooks that constantly pulled you in. The encounters were dynamic, and the overall narrative kept me totally invested. They were also incredibly supportive. They really listened to our character concepts and wove them seamlessly into the ongoing story. It felt like a true collaboration, and they were always there to offer guidance or clarify rules without being overbearing. Playing with this DM was just straight-up fun. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and every session was engaging. If you ever get the chance to join a game they're running, don't even think twice. Highly recommend!

Allan’s a great GM—easy to get along with, super welcoming, and clearly puts in the effort to make sure everyone’s having a good time. He keeps the game moving without rushing anything, and gives everyone space to actually play their character. The world feels alive, the NPCs have real personality, and there’s a nice mix of action, story, and moments to just enjoy being part of the group. If you’re looking for someone who’s flexible, thoughtful, and genuinely fun to play with, you’ll be in good hands here.
