About me

Hello to all you wonderful players and fellow GMs! My name is Cosmo The GM and I’ve been running and playing games of D&D since 2019, and I’ve loved playing roleplay video games ever since I first played the first 'Legend of Zelda' game on the NES way back in the early 90s. Since then, I've gone on to fall in love with and play many RPGs, from many of the Final Fantasy games, to Skyrim and the Witcher 3, to the modern masterpiece of Baldur's Gate 3. When I first played D&D, it sparked a passion in me that has brought me so much joy. The ability to be able to tell collaborative stories with friends and strangers, who then became good friends, alike. While I still love video games, they are still limited somewhat by their coding and programming. D&D and other TTRPGs are more or less limited by your imagination, and that has huge appeal. Live play shows and the work of DMs like Matt Mercer, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Corville, Ginny Di, The Dungeon Dudes and many more have influenced me. If you enjoy tables where with a focus on collaborative storytelling, rich and vibrant worlds, colorful and memorable NPCs, crunchy and challenging combat, with the odd puzzle thrown in, then please contact me about joining one of my established games. I am also open to running games for your own private games. Away from TTRPGs, I am an aspiring voice actor, amateur improv comedy performer and a lover of video games, reading, music and travel. Sign up to a game today. I’d love to see you at my table!

GM Style

My games are open, inclusive and focus on storytelling, character back stories, moments of (normally dice related) humor, epic drama, off the cuff and lots of dice rolling fun! I am also a novice but passionate voice actor and improv comedy student. So hope to entertain you with some of my silly voices! I hope to see you at my table and craft some awesome adventures together.

Was very patient with the new players and helped in character creation in session 0, had very good rules and found out what affected each player before the session which was very nice, never directly shot down ideas but found work arounds for them which worked for both the story and the players, very funny and had us laughing in the downtime of the sessions.

Great GM! Does an amazing job pulling your character into the setting, making sure everyone is involved at the table, and bringing your backstory into the game while molding the story around the decisions you make in game! He's a very professional and reliable GM!

I realized something when i play with Cosmo that’s hard to admit…but true. Cosmo is so good as a DM he made me realize how bad i am when I DM. It’s not like the guy is just inherently talented as a DM. He puts time into every session. It’s evident. He doesn’t just “log in at game time” and run x-y-z characters through a story. He sits down with you and wants to know your characters story. He wants to make it part of his story. I was literally captivated by another players backstory tie-in my first day in. It’s awesome.

Cannot recommend Cosmo enough. Love everything about his games and how he cares about his players. He works together with the team for what they want and how they want to tell their story. Incredible person and incredible DM.

Cosmo is a wonderful GM, I've had a blast romping through Avernus. He was always willing to talk through my often crazy ideas, and the campaign was a delight to be part of.
