About me

Hi, I’m a professional Dungeon Master and the author of several bestselling adventure modules on the Dungeon Masters Guild. I bring years of experience to the table—both as a storyteller and as a guide—crafting adventures that are immersive, emotionally resonant, and deeply respectful of the players who walk through them. My specialty lies in the Ravenloft Campaign Setting, particularly Curse of Strahd. I’ve spent years researching and expanding Barovia’s lore, and have developed a rich, compelling version of the campaign that honors the original module while introducing impactful twists, expanded character arcs, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re a first-time adventurer or returning to the Mists for another round, you’ll find something new to love. But I’m more than just a DM—I’m a worldbuilder, teacher, and director. I believe that every table should feel safe, inclusive, and inspiring. I strive to create a space where players feel seen and heard, where creativity thrives, and where every session feels like a story worth remembering. When you sit down at my table, you can expect professionalism, structure, flexibility, and above all: care. You’ll feel welcome, supported, and excited to explore the world we've built together. Most importantly, you'll feel confident you can simply just enjoy the game you're paying for. Looking forward to telling great stories with you. Take care, friends. ❤️

GM Style

I run games with a professional, considerate, and patient approach. At my table, everyone is treated with the respect and care they deserve. I prioritize player safety and comfort above all, and I believe that powerful stories emerge when players feel protected—and are trusted in turn to protect the story they’re trying to tell. My role is to guide, not control. I set the tone, provide the structure, and help shape the world—but it's the players who lead the journey. I regularly check in one-on-one to make sure everyone feels heard, valued, and excited to be at the table. Your voice matters, and I make time to listen. Together, we create a symbiotic storytelling experience—one where your character’s growth, your choices, and your emotions are woven into the fabric of the narrative. This is, in my opinion, the most impactful way to play. If you’re looking for a DM who takes the game—and you—seriously, while still allowing room for fun, wonder, and exploration, I’d love to run a game for you.
