About Death's Door DM

Hi, I’m Max. My TTRPG journey began during the pandemic as a way to stay connected with friends, but it quickly grew into a lasting passion. Since then, I’ve run countless one-shots and full campaigns in Dungeons & Dragons 5e, spanning hundreds of sessions and hours of adventure. While 5e is my primary system, I explore other games to broaden my perspective and sharpen my storytelling. Inspired by fantasy, sci-fi, video games, and board games, I bring immersive worlds, dynamic encounters, and memorable characters to every table. Whether it’s a gritty low-fantasy survival campaign or a sweeping high-fantasy epic, my focus is always on delivering rich, player-driven experiences.

Death's Door DM's ideal table

My tables are immersive, story-driven, and deeply collaborative. I create worlds that feel alive, where your choices matter, every NPC has depth, and the story evolves organically with your actions. Combat is tense and tactical, exploration is rich with atmosphere, and roleplay sits at the heart of every session. The players who thrive at my table are those who engage with the story, lean into their characters, and enjoy building a shared narrative. They appreciate rich descriptions, grounded mechanics, and the sense that every session carries real stakes. My tables are also safe and welcoming spaces, where respect and inclusion come first. The vibe is cinematic and high-immersion. We laugh, we plot, and we celebrate victories together, but when the dice hit the table, the tension is real and the story always takes center stage. If you’re looking for a deep, collaborative experience where survival matters and every decision shapes the tale, you’ll feel right at home.
