About me

Howdy, my name is Dewitt (some folks call me DJ), and I'm here to provide unforgettable moments at the gaming table (or computer screen). I love building immersive worlds with dynamic characters and epic quests in which players will love getting lost. I adapt gameplay to group preferences: be it high-stakes combat, intriguing mysteries, or heartfelt drama. I believe everyone deserves a seat at the table, and I take pride in creating an open, friendly space for all. Let's roll the dice and create some fun stories together! 🐉

GM Style

I run a dark fantasy setting and construct my campaigns around the player characters, weaving their narratives into the world's existing fabric. Having said that, you don't need a ten-page written backstory to start. A couple of key details or a half-baked concept are enough for me; we can figure out the rest as we go. I don't get too stuck on game balance and rules. I like the player characters to feel capable and strong, even a little overpowered. (It makes it fairer if I decide to drop a mountain on them later on.) I love building challenging combat scenarios with lethal and nonlethal objectives. Years of DMing for other DMs means I often homebrew new unpredictable enemies and monsters to keep even seasoned players on their toes. So, let's have some fun and tell stories to remember.

If you are a creative player, you will likely enjoy DJ, with the viewpoint of "The more beats you add to the ones I'm adding, the more the world feels alive." Adding and starting your own story is encouraged. If you are a min-max builder, you will likely enjoy him, too. From the viewpoint of "I am god and can throw the moon at you if you are too strong for mere mortals," strong characters aren't an issue. Ay, if you are looking for an enjoyable time, check him out.

He's a really fun and inclusive DM. He ensures everyone has something to do and always tries to work with player suggestions. the worlds he makes feel alive, lived in and amazing.

Dewitt made a completely homebrewed world welcoming and makes it feel authentic. The combat is not simply hack and slash and you are incentivized to find creative solutions. The lore feels rich and interconnected. I'm always nervous about joining a completely homebrewed campaign, because you never know what to expect, but this one feels right and I look forward to exploring it. Dewitt's DM style is relaxed and he does not railroad us. Creative and flexible. Very helpful to new players. I highly recommend. :)

He has made his own unique world. So it's all brand new and not the same old module you might get.

I've played with Dewitt on and off for about a year now and he's been one of the best DMs I've ever had. Tons of fun and great at rolling with the punches. Also super easy to talk to, I've contacted him several times outside of session times to discuss new ideas and concerns and he's always very accommodating and welcoming.
