About Cade

I've been a gamer my whole life. Final Fantasy VII hooked me on RPGs, and playing HeroQuest with my brothers started it all. Revisiting those games recently reignited my passion for D&D.

If you want a game where your character truly lives on, your seat is ready.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

M. Night Shyamalan (only the good ones!). Expect eerie atmospheres, high stakes, and massive plot twists where your chaotic choices and hilarious failures completely reshape the narrative climax.

My favorite trope is...

A living world, specifically transforming my players' chaotic choices and epic dice rolls into persistent world lore. I love taking memorable table moments—like a high-stakes "rule of cool" stunt that goes hilariously wrong—and turning them into actual in-game town rumors and NPC gossip that the par

Cade's ideal table

is for players who want to think outside the box, use the "Rule of Cool," and tackle smart, tactical combat where enemies actually use their brains. You don't need a fancy voice acting degree—just bring some humor, play off each other, and put your heart into the game. No main characters or sore losers; just a team having fun and watching the world react to their choices.
