About me
Hi! I'm Ellis. I've been playing 5e for 6 or 7 years now as both a player and a DM. I've spent the last few years running play-by-post and voice games over Discord and now I want to share that experience with you. I offer a welcoming community where I run player-friendly, inclusive games for all players of any experience level in the server I run with my wife (https://startplaying.games/gm/meganhardy), The RPG Den and Menagerie: https://discord.gg/meganandthemonkey These games are all available to run either as voice games or regularly scheduled text-based/PbP games for those who cannot process or prefer not to use audio. New games are being added regularly so there is always something for everyone in this growing community. Please message me with any questions or game requests.
GM Style
I love to give my players plenty of opportunities for RP. Combat will be hard and the dice fall as they will, but I will never put you in a situation without a way out. At the end of the day, I want my players to feel special- to feel heroic.

Ellis is an outstanding Dungeon Master! His storytelling is top-notch, weaving compelling narratives that pull you right into the world. He gives players plenty of space to role-play and develop their characters, while keeping the pacing exciting and the stakes high. Every session feels like a real adventure, full of energy, emotion, and unforgettable moments. If you want a game that's both thrilling and deeply engaging, he's the DM you’re looking for!

You can tell within minutes that Ellis is a professional GM/DM. His focus is on the story, the players, the world and ensuring it all works together. The comfort level is amazing. It's totally player driven, but he supports in with the NPC's, story and world. Highly recommend.

Ellis is a amazing DM and I love how he runs his games. He leaves a lot of room for fun characters and creativity. The games are well paced and the combat is excellent. I look forward to many more sessions. I would highly recommend joining a game.

I have had the privilege of playing several games at Ellis table, he is by far one of the best DMs I have ever played for. Gives his players who enjoy role play a chance to do it, keeps battle competitive and fair and rewards you for thinking creatively. Cannot recommend him or Megan more. The discord server also is a huge plus, the people are amazing. If you are looking for an amazing DM, look no further then Ellis or Megan.
