About Bonty's Bag of Adventures

The air hums like a plucked string. Voices whisper from just beyond the veil of your conscious awareness; nowhere and everywhere at once. Promises, riddles, laughter. A trail of silvered petals leads through the trees, glowing faintly in the moonlight. The forest watches, as if holding its breath. The dice tumble... Somewhere, something chuckles softly - perhaps a fairy, perhaps something older. You shouldn’t follow… but you do. After all, adventure always starts with a bad idea well executed. ____________________ Welcome, adventurers, to Bonty’s Bag of Adventures - where the mischief meets mortal courage and every session teeters between wonder and chaos. I’m Sam, your Dungeon Master and occasional disembodied voice in the mist, running games packed with emotion, quick wit, and that special kind of wild energy that happens when someone actually wins a deal with a talking toad. My tables are inclusive, story-driven, and full of fey-touched fun, open to both brand-new players and seasoned heroes alike. I also run birthday one-shots and beginner sessions for younger adventurers. Expect heartfelt stories, bizarre encounters, and just enough chaos to keep you guessing; because in my games, the Feywild is never quite done with you.

I became a GM because

I genuinely discovered I loved telling stories and bringing that magic, wonder and joy to others more than I did playing myself!

My favorite books are

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - it never fails to bring joy, and that's my life goal for my family and I is to experience as much joy as possible and bring it to others. Dune series - I love the depth and intrigue, I wish I could get lost within the dunes Hyperion Cantos - purely for the mystery

My favorite system of all Time is

Paranoia, which surprises a lot of DnD fans! I love introducing my tables to the game and watching them lose their minds with how off the wall it is.

How Bonty's Bag of Adventures runs games

My games blend immersive storytelling, meaningful roleplay, and dynamic, cinematic combat; all shaped around the players at the table. I love creating living worlds full of memorable characters, factions, and secrets that evolve with your choices. NPCs have motives, flaws, and charm, making every conversation as exciting as a battle. Once the game begins, the story belongs to you; I want players completely lost in their characters, shaping moments that feel alive and unforgettable. Combat at my table is tactical, creative, and story-driven, with unique enemies, layered objectives, and opportunities for clever play. Above all, my sessions are collaborative adventures where everyone’s voice matters, from first-time heroes to seasoned veterans. I aim to balance tension and laughter, danger and wonder; because the best stories are the ones we create together.

I deal with rules issues by...

having a quick conversation, if brief, to keep the game going. If its not a quick affair I'll make the most fair ruling at that moment and then with the affected parties check rules, discuss/review/amend things and clarify at the end of the session.

My games focus on...

whatever my players crave in their adventures! I have catered to all sorts of players/groups! I am most natural with long sandbox narratives that dip toes into comedy wackiness, intrigue and horror but I have no qualms being more specific or expanding my games to suit other tones.

Rules are...

more like guidelines than actual rules. Except the rule of cool. Fun for the table is the aim here and I use the rules at tools to achieve that.

Bonty's Bag of Adventures's ideal table

I’m a laid-back DM who believes D&D should bring joy, laughter, and connection. If you’re here to have fun and lift up the people around you, you’ll fit right in. My tables can shift from heartfelt drama to chaotic comedy or dark intrigue as the story and group allow, but the heart of every game is a group that grows to care for one another - both in and out of character. I run deeply roleplay-focused games where your character’s story truly matters. My favorite moments are when players take the reins: laughing, arguing, plotting, and feeling every heartbeat of their adventure. Once the game begins, the world belongs to you. If you love getting lost in your character and watching stories unfold naturally, this is the table for you.

I love it when a player

genuinely gets lost in their character. They tell me all sorts of inconsequential details or they take the reins for a moment in a scene to have an emotional heart-to-heart with another player character! To see someone inhabit a world I created so fully is truly more magical than any wish spell.
