About me
I'm Luke, a dungeon master from Melbourne, Australia! I've been an (offline) professional DM since 2018 and have been running Dungeons & Dragons 5e since the Starter Set came out in 2015. I fell in love with the game and many sessions a year for multiple groups of clients. I also DM at conventions like PAX Australia, Conquest and Arcanacon, and in 2018 co-founded the Melbourne D&D Adventurers League, a community that runs free D&D games all around Melbourne. I enjoy introducing new players to the game as well providing a refreshing and exciting experience for veterans. I love to entertain and facilitate player enjoyment as well as part of a group - let me know if you'd like a seat at the table! Note: I only take on full groups of people who already know one another. I do not run pickup games as I feel playing with people you already know provides a better experience.
GM Style
Playing Dungeons & Dragons with me is typically: - a lighthearted affair - full of wacky voices and physical acting - loaded with jokes and hijinks I love improvisation, roleplaying and making players laugh.

Our main campaign has been going for literally years now and details that are months (and longer) old that have all been woven together into the story are coming to fruition in stunning ways.

If you're looking for a DM that knows his stuff, and quickly becomes one of the crew then Luke is for you. His dedication to creating a great adventure, and giving players agency has made for some of the most fun moments of D&D I have ever experienced. Luke has been our DM for a little over two years now, and I have never once had a bad night. It is easy to tell that this isn't just a paycheck to Luke, and that makes all the difference. The games are relaxed and fun

For an arbitrary character I made to test a class, Luke made me fall in love with them. With Luke as our DM, we have been playing for nearly 3 years every Thursday, our sessions gave me a sense of something to look forward too during Covid lockdowns.

Luke is always ready to improvise and adapt the story to whatever wacky plans we throw at him
Sam
Luke is an excellent GM that almost every game makes me lose control from laughing so hard. He's great with voices (his extrovert dragon voice is my favourite) and seems to like making sure each character has a particular private goal they're working on in the background, too, to keep everyone engaged.
Jason
Every session has a favourite moment, where Luke has skillfully balanced the encounters and then let us have enough player creativity to laugh ourselves silly. Luke's knowledge is comprehensive, and is always setting the mood with music. Seriously though, I get told off for laughing so loud I can be heard from the other side of my house.
