About me

Hello! I’m Colton, a 32-year-old electrician by day and a passionate DM by night. My family, consisting of two dogs, two guinea pigs, and a parrot, loves to listen from the other room as I weave my stories. I co-founded Mithril Forge Creations, a vibrant D&D community, with the help of my wonderful wife. I have been playing Dungeons & Dragons for nearly three years and DMing for about 2.5 years. My journey began when friends encouraged me to play, and I quickly fell in love with the game. After learning to DM for another group, we created amazing stories across three flourishing campaigns. I run D&D 5e, utilizing both the 2014 and 2024 editions. Over the last two years, I've been managing three campaigns simultaneously, though one recently experienced a total party kill (TPK), so I’m currently focusing on two bi-weekly sessions. All my campaigns are set in my homebrew world, crafted with input from my wife and the community. My DMing style emphasizes a balanced mix of exploration, puzzles, and role-playing, ensuring dynamic character interactions and engaging combat. I believe role-playing enriches every session, whether during intense battles or social dilemmas.

GM Style

My GM style is influenced by what I love most about being a DM: witnessing the story come to life as players make choices that shape the world around them. I have a deep passion for storytelling, and I find that DMing is a thrilling way to experience it firsthand. I primarily focus on fantasy themes, drawing inspiration from works like "The Lord of the Rings" and "Eragon." While I appreciate science fiction, my heart truly lies in fantasy. In my game sessions, players can expect a fun and engaging atmosphere. I take the story seriously when the tone calls for it—especially during emotional role-playing moments—while also encouraging humor and light-heartedness throughout our adventures. We’re all here to enjoy ourselves and create lasting memories, so expect plenty of laughs, jokes, corny lines, and maybe even a box of Kleenex for those heart-wrenching story moments. I may not be an artist with words, but my love and passion for the game shine through in every session I run. I look forward to sharing this passion for role-playing games and creating unforgettable adventures together!
