About Garry

I write D&D modules, I run games, I write code and, most importantly, I love D&D. Actually most TTRPG, RPG and board games to be honest. I am a player, a GM, and a moderator on multiple discord servers, primarily I offer text based D&D 5e games. Check it out… Are you seeking a 5E game to develop your character, to be a hero, without the challenges of scheduling? A play by post that won't fade away and WILL allow you to reach your characters full potential? I facilitate play by post campaigns, catering to one to six players. I will completely customise the game to suit you and your characters, using either homebrew or published materials, depending on your preference, and at any desired levels. We will discuss the essence of D&D adventures with you, and I will craft a world tailored to your specifications. Do you enjoy immersive role-playing? We will engage in scenarios that will delve into your characters life through role-playing. Prefer engaging in combat where you can wield your preferred weapon with fervour or drop Fireballs at every opportunity? Then get your long rest in and brace your selves for some brutality. Or perhaps strike a balance between role-playing and combat, all is possible. I organise play by post games using Discord and Avrae for combat. I consistently respond to posts within 24 hours, making 2-3 daily contributions, and I expect the same level of commitment from players. Any deviations from this schedule will be communicated in advance, and these expectations can be adjusted based on customer preferences

I became a GM because

I became a GM because I had too many ideas, not enough tables, and a head full of rules. I love crafting wild stories, building worlds, and helping players be the heroes of their own adventures. Turns out, running the game is just as fun as playing it! Maybe moreso.

When I'm not running games I'm...

When I’m not running games, I’m a dad of two, working in education, volunteering, writing D&D modules and Avrae code, or getting stuck into a DIY project. Whether it’s at the table or in life, I’m always building, fixing, or creating something new.

How Garry runs games

I want to help you develop your character, to be a hero, without the challenges of scheduling! I will run a play by post that won't fade away and WILL allow you to reach your characters full potential! I will customise the game to suit players and characters, using either homebrew or published materials, depending on preference, and at any desired levels. If players enjoy immersive role-playing, then we engage in scenarios that will delve into the characters life through role-playing. If combat is preferred then get your long rest in and brace your selves for some brutality. Or I will strike a balance between role-playing and combat, all is possible at coordination between players and GM.

I prep by

I prep by overthinking everything, writing too much, and still making half of it up on the fly. I love weaving player backstories into the world, planning encounters, and keeping communication open—while always leaving room for a bit of improvisation.

My games focus on...

Player fun, character-driven storytelling, and heroic adventures. I work to bring your ideas to life, shaping the world around your choices. It’s your hero and your storylet’s tell it together.

Garry's ideal table

My table is fun, creative, and welcoming. We build the story together, with space for your ideas and characters to shine. I know the rules but bend them when it serves the fun. Roleplay is encouraged, teamwork is essential, and enjoyment always comes first.

I love it when a player

I love it when players surprise me—wild ideas, deep character bonds, clever twists that use my lore against me! Whether you're solving problems sideways or diving headfirst into the story, if you're joining in and having fun, you're doing it right

I think min/maxing...

I think min-maxing can be great fun and if that’s your style, go for it! Make the hero you want to play. Just don’t yuk someone else’s yum. Whether you’re here for the maths or the drama, everyone belongs at the table. Just be kind, and don’t be a dick about it.
