About Shawn the GM

Hello adventurer! There's something truly magical (pun intended) about a group coming together to play a TTRPG like Dungeons & Dragons. I've been a player and DM for over two decades now and a professional DM for 5 years (mostly offline games). I work to breath life into the worlds you play in, through dynamic storytelling, custom visuals, funny voices, and passion. I aim to create fun, collaborative, and inclusive spaces that let you and your allies immerse yourselves. I tend to run more narrative driven games, but rarely go more than a session without combat! I run a mix of one-shots and campaigns, some homebrewed worlds and some from official content. Come on, there are enemies to be smashed, innocents to be saved, friendships to be forged, and entire worlds to be explored!

To bring my imagined worlds to life and help create meaningful experiences for others within those worlds.

How Shawn the GM runs games

I love running narrative driven games that put meaningful choices and real consequences in front of your characters. However, it's impossible for me not to add humor and wacky characters to my games.

Featured Prompts

Rules are...

the structure that any good game needs. If you do something cool or narratively fulfilling enough though... some rules can be bent!

When it comes to voices

I speak in random accents half the time I'm at home. Most of them are mediocre, but they also add a some fun to my games.
