About Gary
I have been playing and DMing various editions of D&D since I was in middle school in the late 80s. I GM D&D 5e and D&D 2024 in two home games right now. I have over 9,000 hours of DMing and play on Roll20, which is the virtual tabletop that I use. I use Discord for voice chat. I have run several D&D campaigns to completion, including I have also run Mutants and Masterminds 3e home campaign in the recent years, and I running an Essence20 Transformers home campaign. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English and have several creative writing courses during my university experience. Special needs are extremely important to me since I am clinically depressed. I will keep a safety deck on the Roll20 VTT and I will have session zeroes to ask players questions about what they want and what they enjoy in a TTRPG and where their boundaries are. I won't charge for a session zero. I don't tolerate disrespect toward me or other players, and while I will discuss issues with people outside of game time, I will kick and ban immediately toxic folks and repeat offenders. I do not run or tolerate PvP during my games.

How Gary runs games
I enjoy running in-depth character interactions as much as I enjoy dynamic combats over varied terrains and literally running fights. I can provide detailed in-depth descriptions, but I also use the best maps that I can, and not just for combat. I find it can help players stay focused if they have a map with nice scenery and character art to look at.
