About Michael

Hi there! I’m your next favorite DM, with a simple mission: keep the table laughing and the story rolling. I started my journey in 3.5 back in high school, took a long rest, and came back swinging with 5e during the early days of the pandemic. My games were born out of lockdown blues — a way to bring people joy, connection, and absurd tavern shenanigans when we all needed it most. I specialize in fun-first, judgment-free tables. Never played before? Don’t worry. If you can be kind and want to have fun, you’re already the kind of player I want at my table. Let’s roll some dice and tell stories worth remembering.

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

Covid was hard for people, and we all just need something to look forward to.

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Funny, dork, likable. We'll all laugh and have a good time.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Taking care of family, dogs, or playing multi-player games that might hurt your feelings.

How Michael runs games

My games are built around laughs, light-hearted moments, and the freedom to get as serious (or silly) as the table wants. I’ve learned from experience — including a combat-heavy campaign that taught me how important balance really is. Expect some combat, but never just for the sake of rolling dice. I aim for character-driven moments, fun roleplay, and stories that grow with the players. I love using voices (and I'm always working on new ones), and I absolutely encourage you to join in — even if it’s your first time. Whether you want to play a brooding knight or a goblin stand-up comedian, we’ll make the adventure memorable together.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

Laughs, tears, fury or adoration for RNGesus. Focus on escaping the real world for a little.

Rules are...

A guide to fun. We'll follow the basic stuff, but I'm always down to twist them. Fun > rules.

When it comes to voices

Im gonna try all the different voices, and I hope you might try some with me too

Michael's ideal table

Where we get some people to accept and laugh with each other, while you get taken on an adventure.

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

Relaxed, caring, laughing and loving. Don't harsh the vibes.

I love it when a player

Uses their imagination. It might be my created world, but you impact it.

I think min/maxing...

Is a way to play. If it's fun for you, go for it. Just be prepared to share the spotlight.
