About me

Hello everyone! My name is Matt. I have been playing and DMing for three years now with most of that currently being as a player. All of my experience currently is on 5th Edition and I am one of the rare D&D people that enjoy being a Dungeon Master over being a player as I love crafting stories around players characters and backstories. I have gained the renowned title as a "Deadly DM" and am quite proud of it so please come into my games prepared for character death at any time. While I am deadly, I do like to make my games feel rewarding for overcoming challenges and obstacles so everything you do in game will be well earned. The thing that made me want to start hosting games is somewhat of what I stated above, I love hearing my players reactions when a big reveal is made or take great pride when something I made in game happen receives a lot of recognition as being a loveable thing and want to bring that feeling to as many people as I possibly can! Thank you and see you in game!

GM Style

My style is a combination of riveting story telling and deadly, tactical, and rewarding combat. I will do my best to make everything feel real and like time is always flowing in the world rather than feeling static like a video game. overall, you can expect my games to be a rollercoaster of emotions!

Matthew was a great DM! We had so much fun playing the adventure, and he was a big part of that. He expertly led us through the story and playing the NPCs, while at the same time allowing for creativity, exploration, and splitting group a couple of times.

Matt was patient as we explored, helped with character creation, very knowledgable, very descriptive of our environment, let us explore on our own time, allowed us to have fun and explore on our own time, generous with his time, came prepared with maps and music that really enhanced our game, balanced player time really well, gave everyone equal attention, and was overall really fun to play with.
