About me
Greetings traveler, I'm Shane and perhaps I'll soon be whisking your away on a new adventure. I started roleplaying when I was about 10 years old; fast forward a few decades and I'm still as obsessed as ever. I began with original Dungeons & Dragons, progressing through every edition and a myriad of other RPG systems. Burnt out on corporate life, we packed up, left the city and moved to a tiny little town in New Zealand. While spending some time soul searching I started running RPGs for multiple groups and after receiving great feedback I thought I'd take the path less travelled and see if I could make a modest living running games. I'm easy going and open minded. I see roleplaying as the ultimate form of escapism and my players get to cast off their real world burdens each week for a few hours of adventure, excitement and laughter. Take up your sword, prepare your spells, and join me on an adventure.
GM Style
I take full advantage of the online medium, filling my games with ambient music, sound and art, sprawling battle maps and evocative backdrops for theatre of mind play. I work with players to tell their characters story, weaving it into whatever adventure we're undertaking.

Dice Knights goes the extra mile with his Foundry VTT prep to give you an amazing experience and really immerse you in a campaign. I had an absolute blast playing with him and if it were not for living in a different timezone I would be playing as many games as I could with him as GM!

Shane is an excellent GM, runs a great session and adapts well to combat if party numbers drop or increase for a session. Has excellent mods and in game additional visuals and roleplaying aids. Quickly updates the server to fix errors and patches. Does good voices and engages the players well. Highly recommend.

I really enjoy how passionate shane is about tabletops. In the games i have played with Shane, I could really tell how much care and work he has put in to make these games special. I also like how down to earth and understanding he is. We can have casual conversations that last for hours and I can come to him with cool character ideas or if I have any issues with the game. Overall I really enjoy having Shane as my dm.

I joined a game in progress and he got me in quickly, and was patient at explaining the rules and allowing everyone involvement.
