About DMKilfoot
Howdy y'all, and welcome, you magnificent nerds! I’m DMKilfoot (or DMK, or "Andrew" if you’re my mom, a bill collector, or someone who’s very lost). I’ve been herding cats—ahem, running TTRPGs—for over two decades, which means I’m old enough to remember when "THAC0" wasn’t just a weird noise you make after bad sushi. But hey, age brings wisdom! Or at least really strong opinions about dice rituals. After years of subjecting my friends and family to my nonsense, I’ve decided to branch out and inflict my DMing upon strangers—because let’s be real: strangers are just future accomplices you haven’t roped into a devil’s bargain yet. (From a safe, socially distanced, fully consensual table, of course.) WHAT TO EXPECT AT MY TABLE: - A fiercely LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and beginner-friendly circus. We’re here to punch monsters, talk in questionable accents, and occasionally remember how skill checks work. Respect is non-negotiable. So is laughing when the rogue inevitably sets something on fire. - A DM who’s equal parts "rules lawyer for the people" and "rule of cool advocate. "RAW” is great, but if you want to backflip off a dragon while reciting a sonnet, I’ll at least consider it. (Terms and conditions apply. Void where prohibited. May require a deal with a sketchy fey entity.) - D&D 2024 rules… with a side of homebrew spice. Official content only? Boring. If the options don’t thrill you, I’ll happily Frankenstein something together—just don’t blame me when your sentient spoon familiar develops a god complex. - Safety tools, Session 0s, checklists, and aftercare like a responsible adult. Think of it like emotional seatbelts—we might not crash, but boy howdy, does it feel good knowing they’re there. I make custom maps, plot hooks, and questionable life choices—all professionally presented with a dash of misplaced enthusiasm. So if you’re ready to embrace chaos, tell cool stories, and maybe—remember the plot, let’s roll some dice. Or at least accidentally knock them off the table in dramatic fashion. Game on, you glorious weirdos.

How DMKilfoot runs games
My style of DMing is very pc focused narratives. Rule of Cool. Homebrew nonsense. I love doing voices, emotional, or silly roleplay. Crunchy dungeon crawls, and tactical combat. I see the pc's as the main characters in the story, and I'm here to help you explore those nitty gritty things we call emotions. Or Go out in a blaze of glory against seven bugbear assassins. I want everyone to have a great time, and I'm open to learning how to help you, have a great time.
Featured Prompts
I deal with rules issues by...
Is it fun? Is it balanced? Is it worth spending 10 minutes of our time to go over this and hash out stuff instead of waiting until after the game to finalize it? If we have differing views on stuff, and I haven't already brought this up, I usually default to the player until I can take a look after.
My games focus on...
The player characters. There's an overarching story sure. But you're the main characters in that story. I want to work with players to create fun and complicated stories. Have brutal drag out combat, and or delicate and sweet roleplay.
When it comes to voices
I may not be consistent, but I'm gonna try my darndest to get them right. Also not to toot my own horn but I was told my Brooklyn was great, and that was from someone from Brooklyn.
DMKilfoot's ideal table
My Idea table is one filled with: People who treat others with kindness and respect. People with the drive to adventure, make silly choices, and joke around. People who are welcoming and understanding that new players need patients.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Creative mechanics, I've spent years working on. Lots of Roleplay, lots of combat, and not that many puzzles. Silly bits, dad jokes, and random nonsense.
I love it when a player
Pushes the button. Does the thing because it's not optimal but it's what they would do in that moment. Asks why it's this way or that way. asks about lore.
I think min/maxing...
I love min / maxers. I appreciate it and understand you want to be awesome at what you do. It doesn't mean everything is going to fit in your strengths but I'm all for optimization. It means I can go all out too.
