About me

I'm ready to roll some dice, so let's get a party together and make a collaborative story! I'm Keenan Bothma, I've been DMing for the past 10 years and I absolutely love game design, creative writing and nerds doing nerd stuff. It all started as a teen, hopelessly obsessed with D&D, begging friends to play with me. Of course, no one else would take up the mantle of DMing, so I gave it a try and discovered a lifelong hobby along the way.

GM Style

First and foremost, I love teaching newer players who are still learning the game or learning how to play TTRPGS as a whole. New players are always welcome at my table and I highly encourage you to give it a try so that you too can enjoy the beauty of this weird mashup of games, storytelling and social interactivity that only this hobby can provide. Starting from the very beginning of our journey, I like to have all of my players together during session 0 with little to no prior character creation. That way, we can all create our party together while discussing the campaign frame, rough plot, dos and don'ts, player boundaries, highlights you'd like to see, and player character backstories. When it comes to gameplay, I like to mix the three main pillars into the gameplay equally, whenever possible at least. The three main pillars being: Combat I love tactical, meaty, grid-based combat with custom maps that I create in Inkarnate. I have been praised for my battlemaps and combat scenes and it's easily my favorite part of any session. Combat is a core pillar of TTRPGS for a reason. Everyone loves to kill monsters! Exploration When it comes to world-building, I like to create sandbox regions for my players to interact with at their own pace while littering it with points of interest and random encounters to keep it spicy. Whether its a campaign module or a custom campaign, I like to give my players as much freedom as I can while weaving story beats into the narrative to keep
