About Kenny

I'm Kenny a Dungeon Master with over 10 years of experience crafting immersive, adventurous campaigns filled with rich roleplay, unexpected twists, and a healthy dose of humor. I love the rules and use them to enhance the story, but I’m no rules lawyer, fun and flow come first. Whether you're new to the game or a seasoned adventurer, I create a welcoming space where characters shine and players feel heard. I’ve trained new hires professionally, so I’m patient and passionate about teaching mechanics, lore, and roleplay techniques to newcomers. Outside the game, I’m into sports, the outdoors, and spending time with family. I’m also a big fan of fantasy literature, philosophy, and the classics, all of which inspire the depth and flavor of my storytelling. If you’re looking for a game that balances epic quests, character-driven drama, and table laughs, I’d love to roll with you.

I got started GMing...

My DND group had scheduling issues, and I decided to run some games in the meantime, I loved crafting worlds and stories and seeing it come to life when my players became heroes in the worlds I created.

My favorite books are

Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson, First Law series by Joe Abercrombie, currently tackling Malazan series by Steven Erikson. Honorable mentions Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, the series that sparked my love for fantasy genre.

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

Hanging out with family, walking, reading or playing video games. Just trying to enjoy the moment.

How Kenny runs games

I’ve been playing tabletop roleplaying games since 2013, when I fell in love with Dungeons & Dragons. The limitless potential for creativity and fun blew my mind. I’ve always loved video games and reading books, and games like D&D took it to the next level. In my games, I focus on adventure, comedy, and cinematic action, with fun as the driving force. I want the story to center around the players and their choices, where the world reacts and evolves with them instead of railroading them along. I love rules as written and think the developers did a great job balancing the system, but I also believe in the “Rule of Cool”, if something benefits the story, I’ll consider it. I especially enjoy having new players at the table, since they often think outside the box, and veteran players will appreciate my deep lore and complex scenarios that offer something fresh every time. Can’t wait to meet you and start rolling some dice!

I focus on fun, plain and simple. We play to escape the daily grind, explore wild ideas, and laugh along the way. Creativity and roleplay are at the heart of my games, whether it’s trying out silly voices or diving into unexpected situations together.

Kenny's ideal table

My table is built for creativity, collaboration, and fun. I love players who think outside the box, dive into roleplay, and help shape the story with bold choices and unexpected ideas.

We use safety tools, set clear expectations, and keep communication open so everyone feels respected and comfortable. If you enjoy immersive storytelling, a bit of humor, and the freedom to explore, you’ll fit right in.

I love it when a player

I love it when a player surprises me—using a mundane item in a clever way or turning the environment into a tactical advantage. Whether it’s swinging from a chandelier or weaponizing a frying pan, those moments bring the world to life and make the story unforgettable.

My perfect party mix is

My perfect party mix is a balance of planners and doers. The planners map out the heist or goblin raid with clever strategy, while the doers kick down the door when things go sideways and make sure the loot gets split. I love a group that blends brains, boldness, and a bit of chaos.

My table is not the place for...

My table is a judgment-free zone. There’s no room for bullying, disrespect, or exclusion. I foster a space where everyone feels safe, heard, and valued because great stories only happen when players trust each other and feel free to be themselves.
