About me

Greetings Adventurers! I am a Level 35 DM with 20 years experience in many games of many types and I enjoy facilitating and developing the story my adventurers are telling. After all, what is a TTRPG but a collaborative story-telling device! I am comfortable with new players as much as veterans.

GM Style

Love Roleplay, voices, and combat alike. Character's actions have weight and effects the world, for better or worse.

For a long time I watched D&D content but couldn't find a group to play with. I was directed to StartPlaying and started searching for DMs that were running games for beginners. What started as a one-shot has now blossomed into a 9mo adventure and I can only hope we keep going. Dash brings a wealth of knowledge of the game, classes, races, levels, feats, gear, and has even gone the extra mile to help newbies build their characters, in addition to helping navigate VTT features as well. He helps shape the characters, incorporates your backstory ideas in really fun and organic ways, runs a really inclusive table, and is just generally incredibly kind, patient, and passionate. Our weekly game has quickly become one of the highlights I look forward to! HIGHLY recommend Dash as a DM!

If you have the opportunity to play with Dash, take it! My friend and I "rolled well" when we randomly chose to join a campaign with GM Dash on startplaying.com. Almost nine months later and we're still playing with Dash and three other folks we met here. The experience has been phenomenal! Dash is very knowledgeable about DnD AND has background experience in IT Support. That combo makes him SO GOOD and PATIENT in helping us understand DnD and the technical side of playing online (think Roll20.net, Discord, and troubleshooting issues). The campaign has gone in so many exciting directions with him as GM. He even asked if an IRL friend could join our campaign as a guest player character for a portion. It helped with building the story. And, as new players, it also gave us another perspective on how a veteran player approached combat, his character and roleplay. Thank you, Dash! We're enjoying the campaign and can't wait to see what situation you put us in next.

Dash has been so patient with helping our completely new players learn how to play DnD- he never makes you feel bad about not knowing something, and makes learning really fun. He’s a fair DM and lets us be creative/ silly without judgement and it’s really easy to role play and make jokes in our sessions. Dash plays great ambient music, has voice changers that can be equally hilarious as they are terrifying, and gives us some really cool visuals on the maps letting us pick colors and everything. He’s also always available on discord for extra help and questions which has been so nice of him! Every week is always super fun, with great company and conversation before and after the sessions too! Couldn’t have asked for a better first DnD experience!

My friend is an amazing dm and created a great environment for our characters to explore and discover our powers in the environment he provided for us through the setting and through doing. Knows the rules too. I wish I could select more.

Ever since I introduced Dash to D&D, he has taken it to new heights and has become an amazing DM/GM. He is able to change his style to fit new and experienced players. His story telling is mentally simulating, exciting, thrilling and provocative, with plenty of room for shenanigans and hijinks along the way. I would choose him as a DM anytime.

Dash is a GM that will work with you in and out of game. His experience shows with how he runs. Always have fun at the table.
