About Dudley

4 years ago I joined the Start Playing community, 100+ positive reviews later I feel I've found the place where I belong. Today I run a full weekly schedule of games for a variety of different players. I do corporate events, summer camps, and online games all of which are entirely private. I would love to have you at the table, let's tell a great story together.

Featured Prompts

I got started GMing...

Sophomore year of college! I've been running games consistently ever since

My favorite books are

anything written by Joe Abercrombie. Fantasy is about using fiction to expose fact, and no one does it better than Joe

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

Practicing character design in one of my beat up sketch books, building castles in Minecraft while listening to podcasts, or throwing the frisbee for the world's silliest boxer doggo

How Dudley runs games

I tell stories first. This means memorable NPCs, lots of different voices, and constant decisions that will have big impact on how the story unfolds. While rules are important I realize that sometimes they stand in the way a good story. At my table all skill levels are welcome. It doesn't matter how well you understand the rules, only that you make the choices that tell a story that is your own. If you like to play these games to create a memorable and exciting story, look no further. I run all of games Theatre of the Mind style, with no use of a VTT. Grids exist only to tell us what we cannot do, and that is not what these experiences are about. Also it allows my players to do epic stuff every session!
