About Desmond Confoy

I run games where the story matters and the world immersive, open, and full of endless possibilities. Character, atmosphere, and dynamic fights lead the way. My tables are: • Safe for beginners • Inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly • Flexible rules, consistent tone • Balanced drama + humor My Strengths: • Bringing characters emotionally to life • Making the world react to player decisions • Giving every player spotlight moments • Creating arcs that feel earned, not force If you’re looking for: • A DM who learns your character deeply • Cinematic vibes and emotional arcs • Choices that change the world • A table that feels like a collaborative story, not a lecture Then you’ll feel at home here. My Style: • Character-driven plots • Consequences that feel earned • Supportive to new players, respectful to experienced ones • Not pretending to be the smartest person in the room • Combat consistently Expectations: Be kind, be curious, and bring a character idea (or I’ll help you make one). Mechanics can be learned along the way. If you want a campaign you’ll remember, where sessions feel like episodes of a show where you’re on the writing team — let’s play My background: BFA in Theater & Perfomance Professional actor Film producer and writer

How Desmond Confoy runs games

I run games that feel like open-world fantasy RPGs—the kind where exploration is rewarded and the world reacts to your choices. Every town, NPC, faction, and rumor is part of something larger. There’s always a mystery to chase, a secret to uncover, or a story thread waiting if you tug on it. Expect... Fleshed out worlds. Every NPC has a name, a motive, and something to add. Choices change relationships and future events. Exploration encouraged. Side quests tie back into the main narrative. Nothing is just filler. Dynamic Combat. Battles are tactical, cinematic, and influenced by environment, improvisation, and character decisions—not just “I hit again.” Consequences Matter. Actions shape alliances, politics, reputations, and future story arcs. But also character and player character death, actions have repercussions. High Player Agency. It's all about you. You're building this. I don’t railroad. You choose the direction, and the world responds. Whether you want to unravel conspiracies, build kingdoms, forge rivalries, or chase ancient magic, the story grows with you. My goal is to make every player feel like the main character of their own arc, inside a world big enough for everyone.

I prep by

All about prep. Constantly prepping for a next session, love that DM homework.

Rules are...

As written, however, clever interpretations are highly encouraged! (no spell components or encumbrance though)

When it comes to voices

All the voices all the time! Theater training comes in handy. If I panic it usually comes out Irish though, working on that

Desmond Confoy's ideal table

My tables are lighthearted and fun! But the worlds are deep, intriguing, and mysterious. Fun can be whimsical, but fun can also be serious, intense, and exciting. I like a table that feels like it's creating the story that matters most to them. I'd have just as much fun letting you set up a trade route between kingdoms to earn extra gold as I would having you track down the biggest ,baddest monster and jump into two sessions of crunchy high level combat. This is your world to live in.
