About Andrew (DM.In.Training)
Hi, my name is Andrew (DM.in.training), don't let the name fool you! So, I am 39, male and have been mostly in-person for my games. As I have been viciously mocked for one of my reviews being me. I want to clarify, I used one of my in-person friends not affiliated with startplaying in any way to write a review and they did so on my account, apologies but want to be transparent. I am all about the experience we gain together as players and DM's. I play D&D 5E rules mostly and the training component has to do with other gaming systems. Been a player for 15 years, DMing off and on over those years. I am all about collaborative story telling that is D&D. I am a firm believer in Session 0's, I lean 50/50 RP & COMBAT (You the players will always be the thermostat for where we are at with it.) I use ABOVEVTT on DnDbeyond, I love to tell good stories and collaborate whenever possible. I honor inspirations and creativity when appropriate as well Embracing the Rule of Cool. I do voices and characters for my NPCs and I enjoy a more inclined experience to RolePlaying over combat but am prepared for encounter preferred players. I utilize a discord server for digital play that you will be able to have your own private player chat but also how we will video chat for each session. Thanks for checking me out!

People are always surprised when I tell them

When I'm not running games I'm...
Probably working my day job, playing with my two kids and or reading
How Andrew (DM.In.Training) runs games
I am a firm believer in Session 0's, I lean 50/50 RP & COMBAT (You the players will always be the thermostat for where we are at with it.) Love doing Character voices, enjoy theater of the mind but like to balance with a Digital tabletop to balance combat presence and spatial awareness.
