About Alex (DM Captain)

My whole life I have always been a story-teller. I loved to read and I would build off those stories and expand the world in my mind. From there I would create my own characters and send them off on their own little journeys, and share them with my friends. I actually never considered DnD and other TTRPGs until a little show called Critical Role. But I soon realized it was the game I'd been waiting for my whole life and I immediately started looking for a game to join, to little success. I started hosting my own DnD games when I realized the GMs and DMs I had previously campaigned with were really not providing a great experience, and I decided I could do a little better. I wanted to provide a playing experience where the players craft the stories themselves and I serve as a guide. I really believe in balanced roleplay and combat, and teamwork all the way. I want players to feel completely immersed in the world they're campaigning in, and to achieve that I add in a lot of little details and voices for different characters, so it really feels like they're in another world on another plane. I let their character and roleplay decisions affect the build of the world around them, so it feels like their choices really have an impact. Now, years later, I couldn't be happier doing what I do. I have a regular game with some friends that's been going for years now and we don't plan on stopping anytime soon, and I don't think I'll ever run out of stories to tell.

How Alex (DM Captain) runs games

A few dozen individual NPC voices, accents, etc. Good balance of roleplay and combat. Hella plot-twists (good ones, not like GOT). Diversity in race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc. Player-lead stories in a world I created.
