About me

I've been playing D&D for over a year at the time of writing, and I have been DMing for about 6 months. I'm approaching this with a sense of humour, a sense of openness, and a sense of fun. I believe in working together - DMs and players each doing their part to tell (and be part of) a fun story that is safe, tonally consistent, and led-by-rules-but-also-the-rule-of-cool.

GM Style

I'll bring access to content and maps on D&D Beyond. I own content including Xanathar's, Tasha's Guide, PHB, and more, and share access to these with my subscription. I was initially using D&D Beyond's Maps Alpha, but am now using AboveVTT and Discord. I like to keep action and RP moving so that there is time for players to do what they want - combat is often intense but with an element of fun, and RP is there for those who want it but can be hurried up in instances where people are less interested in it. As a former educator and trainee therapist, I have experience helping people get used to new things - I'll do whatever I can to help you feel ready and part of the campaign.

Dom gave us a great experience with the one-shot we played. We had plenty of opportunities for roleplaying in social situations (and in combat), and when fights did break out (often), we were allowed to be creative, pushing the boundaries of what the rules covered, which was fine, since Dom quickly adapted and made rulings or shifted the course of the narrative to accommodate the situation. If the time slots worked out, I'd definitely play more of these games.

Dom created an unforgettable one-shot adventure with a good balance of challenge, creativity, and excitement. The storytelling was vivid, the characters were compelling, and the pacing kept us engaged. Their ability to adapt to players' choices and make each moment feel impactful made for an exceptional gaming experience.

As my first ever experience of D&D, Dom was exactly what I had hoped for. He is easy going, understands the rules well, explains things clearly, does multiple voices for NPCs and role plays well in lots of ready made encounters with maps, art and music. I enjoyed the one-shot I tried, then signed up for a starter campaign and looked forward to the next installment from the moment each session ended. Within a few sessions he has enabled me to go from a rather timid player to role-playing deceptive conversations with NPCs. Top guy and recommend joining a session.

Dom excels at welcoming beginners to the world of D&D, offering patient guidance and clear explanations. He fosters creativity among players, encouraging inventive solutions and imaginative role-playing. With Dom, every session is an unforgettable adventure where everyone feels empowered to unleash their imagination.
