About me
Monty is a 35+ year veteran of Dungeons & Dragons. This time has been spent as both a player and a Dungeon Master. He has experience with all editions of D&D except 4th edition. He also has experience playing and running many other game titles/systems. He has experience playing with and running games for everyone from those who have never played a role playing game before to this who have many years of experience. I decided to start running online games as I have a lot of stories and experience that I want to share with the gaming community.
GM Style
I am familiar with the rules but see them more as guidelines. My main priority is making sure everyone at the table is having fun and is engaged. I like to modify older modules, box sets, and adventures to work in 5e and fix issues I see in them. I'm not a huge fan of intensive tactical combat preferring to focus on the story and character development.

Proficiencies
Players say this GM is great at:
Storytelling
Knows the Rules
Sets the Mood
Monty has a style all his own. While always over prepared for the story, he is just as prepared for things to go awry. Applying story hooks to bring the reigns back, seizing the moment to give us help with either an NPC with words of wisdom or a piece of equipment that will help us on our journey. The quick thinking and willingness to embrace our choices, even if it’s to our PC’s detriment, helps the players feel like each PC’s choices are valid. He manages to wrap our PC’s backs stories into the fabric of his world making you feel like your PC aren’t just some random “Adventures” trekking through the land and more like denizens of the world that are brought together for adventure.
