About me

I'm a lifelong D&D player with over 10 years of experience, and a little north of more than 8 years behind the DM screen. My passion lies in storytelling; crafting immersive, character-driven narratives that evolve with your choices and leave a lasting impact. I lean more towards grimdark and high fantasy themed adventures. My worlds are rich with lore, moral complexity, ancient secrets, and dangerous beauty. Choices have consequences, but there’s always space for hope, heroism, and redemption. Tone and vibe are everything. I run games in Roll20 and slowly learning Foundry VTT, enhanced by a custom playlist curated to immerse players in each scene. From tense dungeon crawls to sweeping political drama. I focus on emotional engagement, cinematic pacing, and a world that feels truly alive. Whether you're brand new to D&D or a seasoned player, you'll find a welcoming, story-first environment at my table. If you love layered characters, meaningful choices, and adventures that go deeper than dice rolls. Let’s tell an unforgettable story together.

GM Style

In my games, you can expect deep roleplay, immersive storytelling, and a strong focus on character development. I build campaigns where your choices shape the world, and your character’s arc truly matters. I lean into grimdark and high fantasy, weaving in mystery, moral tension, and ancient forces that challenge your party’s ideals as much as their strength. I use Roll20 (learning Foundry VTT) and curated music to create a cinematic tone and atmosphere. Whether you're sneaking through haunted ruins or debating with nobles in a torchlit council chamber. Combat in my games is tactical and high-stakes, but always in service to the story. Every encounter is grounded in the world, shaped by the narrative, and meant to feel like a turning point; not just a numbers game. Above all, I prioritize tone, emotion, and player agency. My games are about living through a great story together, not just rolling dice. If you're looking for a campaign that blends drama, darkness, and heart. I’ve got a seat ready for you.
