Ever since I first picked up a twenty-sided die, I’ve wanted to be behind the GM screen, narrating fantastical stories my friends create. I’ve come a long way since the days of pen and paper and cozy huddles around my kitchen table—but one thing hasn’t changed: I treat you as a friend in my home and worlds. With a background in theater and literature, I strive to weave meticulously crafted narratives that stir minds and hearts. Each story has the freedom to breathe and grow, with the ultimate goal of creating a majestic tale we’ll remember for life. I also create TT...

I'm passionate about collaborative storytelling where player choices shape the world and dice create unforgettable moments. Every campaign becomes a unique story that emerges from the intersection of player creativity, world-building, and those thrilling moments when fate takes the wheel.

I will make sure that you have a great time playing Dungeons & Dragons. Together we will create an wonderful world and experience great adventures. I run beginner friendly campaigns that allow you to pick up the rules as you play along. We will play Dungeons & Dragons by the rules - with stress on the very FIRST RULE: Fun comes first! - If you have the chance to do something cool, but it would break the rule: Then the rule will break. I am here for you - not the rulebook. ;) I enjoy new discoveries, adventures and a good laugh. Diversity in all it's forms makes ...

With over three decades of cinematic storytelling, I craft living worlds where your decisions echo across myth and madness. My journey began with AD&D in the 1980s and has since crossed haunted cathedrals, blood-soaked courts, and dream-scarred realities. I’m a veteran LARP coordinator and narrative architect, with experience running large-scale chronicle events (300+ players) and a master’s degree in History, Religion, and Philosophy. Every game I host weaves symbols, consequences, and voices that linger long after the final die has fallen. Today, through Mythveil C...

A foul-mouthed asshole with 20+ years of experience running games that are bloody, brutal, and insanely satisfying—and loving every second of it! I got my start playing with a bunch of grognards, and so I bring an old-school sensibility to new-school rules—or running classic systems if that’s your thing. I enjoy creating bloody, brutal adventures where every victory is hard won and oh so satisfying. Expect my games to push you to your limits with gruesome creatures, complex choices, and victories that are STUPID satisfying when you claw your way out of the depths of ...

Hello everyone! I am Dm Tolis and I've been dming/playing TTPRGs (DND 5e, Pathfinder 1&2e, Vampire, Hunter, Geist to name a few) for 13 years. I’ve recently decided to move on with an online platform to meet new players, guide them through old and new adventures, and witness how they interact with and leave an impact on the stories. I might be new to using Foundry (my preferred method of online DMing), but I am comfortable in my knowledge of it and can safely ensure my players can adapt to this virtual tabletop. For now, I’ve run a few one shots with close friends to...

I first stumbled upon roleplaying games almost 15 years ago and I was taken since the first moment. Playing as a dwarf adventurer, vampire businessman or a jedi knight was amazing experience, but I soon found my true passion in being game master. I have since led a lot of games, both for my friends and for new players at conventions. And in the past year I started to host games online. Good story is the most important element for me in RPG, but player agency is a close second. You should always be able to to make interesting choices, to go off course and chart your o...

I am a fun oriented DM with a solid understanding of the mechanical rules. I have tons of flexibility in play style ranging from intense, nail biting combat to fun and silly role-play moments. I am most comfortable with the Forgotten Realms setting, and am able to pull from that source easily to create unique adventures whose lore is easily tracible. I believe in an emotionally safe a...

Hello, fellow adventurer! I'll give you a little bit about me but I'll mainly talk about my passion and experience and a little of my background that jettisoned me into this beautiful game that I just cannot get enough of! I have been playing TTRPG's, mainly D&D 5e, for about 7 years now with 6 of those being in the DM's role. Before I started playing, I was very keen and into my drama studies and always enjoyed being on stage playing a different character and voice that was not myself or my own.

Powerful stories, meaningful character relationships & deadly combats. You're here for that, right? Man I hope so. Yo! I'm Zo. Been DM'ing for a little over a decade now, primarily with DnD5e. I specialize in crafting and remixing deeply personalized stories that make you suspend your disbelief and agonize over every conflict and consequence.

Friendly and Inclusive. I have 8 years of experience GMing and a Bachelors of Science in Game Design! I am trying this out as a part-time occupation while I am looking for a job in the games industry. I mostly run D&D but I tend to modify it to fit settings and stories in any genre. I like running homebrew settings, so you are guaranteed a new experience when playing with me! I also like making custom enemies, spells, magical items and even mechanics when relevant. Hit me up for any questions or anything else!

I love tabletops, both for the creativity they force both the players and GM to bring to bear, and for the camaraderie they build within everyone. I am not a GM that is incredibly Rule-Heavy, instead I see the Rules as a Guideline for players and their Storyteller to have a similar basis for understanding. I have experience as a Storyteller for Pathfinder 2e, Pokémon Tabletop United/Advanced, Shadowrun, Glitterhearts, Chronicles of Darkness, and more. Homebrew is welcome (upon review). And I am willing to learn new Games if a party gets the itch for something speci...

I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.

I have been hosting tabletop games for over 5 years and have experiencing DMing all walks of life. I also have over 10 years of improv experience as well as a fan of fiction writing. I do tend to lean more on homebrew material when it comes to my main campaign, however I do host on occasion several books or official adventures from the source depending on the groups interest or if I have a good idea on how to run it. I tend to run more games that are unorthodox then usual games such as the Ocarina of Time campaign and a NCIS style cop drama that takes place in 80s Miam...

Hey there! I'm Ben and I'm a TTRPG Gamemaster based in Denmark, but running games for an ever-growing group of lovely people from around the world! I've found that my interests in creating worlds and telling stories have translated very nicely into being a Dungeon Master; Embodying NPCs, thinking on the fly when players catch me off-guard, and tying it all together with music, character art, and scene-art are examples of some of the things I enjoy the most about GM'ing.

My GM style is relaxed, story-rich, and focused on collaborative fun. I run dynamic, sandbox-style campaigns where player choices matter and the world reacts accordingly. One-shots are brisk and punchy, racing toward satisfying conclusions. Custom campaigns are always shaped by player preferences, character backgrounds, and group play styles. I use “destiny dice” and “iron dice” to keep things thrilling—embracing both luck and consequence to create stories that stick with you. I prize player agency above all. The real magic happens when fate, risk, and reward intertwi...

My name is Katabri. I have been playing TTRPGs since 1980. I did take a break to raise my kids, but kept up with material. When I came back to Dungeons and Dragons, it quickly became apparent that the easiest way to play in a game was to run it myself. So, I've been DMing for about 15 hours per week since January of 2023. I enjoy running DnD 5e and Pathfinder 2e games and endeavor to bring a fun and immersive experience for all my players.
