About me
🕯️ Storyteller. Voice Actor. Master of Cinematic Mayhem. 🕯️ Welcome to the table. I’m DM Maximus - a professional GM with over a decade of experience weaving brutal, beautiful tales across systems and genres. Whether it’s the creeping dread of Call of Cthulhu, the corporate horror of ALIEN, or high-octane heroism in Dungeons & Dragons, I bring immersive storytelling, tactical encounters, and living worlds that respond to your choices. I specialize in games that feel cinematic, character-driven, and dangerous. Not every story is grim, but every moment matters. My games are shaped by your characters, with arcs that evolve from their decisions, flaws, and fire. 🎠Full voice acting and immersive NPCs 🎲 Smart, tactical combat with impact 🧩 Puzzles, social intrigue, and real consequences ⚔️ Campaigns and one-shots built for emotional weight and unforgettable turns Whether you’re carving through a haunted domain, making deals in neon-drenched space stations, or trying to survive your last day in Hadley’s Hope - I'm here to make sure every session hits like a freight train. Come ready to burn bright or die loud. Let’s make some legends.
GM Style
🎠Story-First. Rule-of-Cool Always. Be a Fan of the Character. I’ve run everything from gritty gothic horror to neon-lit sci-fi operas and everything in between—D&D (all styles), ALIEN RPG, Call of Cthulhu, and more. Whether you’re hunting vampires in a haunted valley or storming a derelict freighter with a pulse rifle and a prayer—I craft sessions that immerse, challenge, and inspire. 🧠My #1 Rule? Be a fan of the character. I want your hero to shine like a star. I don’t default to “no”—I ask, “How can we make this happen?” If it’s badass, on-theme, and character-driven, I’ll make it work. Rules bring structure, but they’ll never strangle the fun at my table. 🎲 Professional Quality VTT, Cinematic Delivery: I run sessions using a heavily customized Foundry VTT setup—3D dice, animated spell effects, dynamic lighting, mood-setting audio, handouts, visuals, and full automation. Expect drama, dread, delight, and jaw-dropping immersion. 🎙️ As a voice actor and performer, every NPC breathes. Every scene feels real. And every player’s choices ripple through the world. ⚔️ Combat that Matters: Tactical where it counts. Tense when it needs to be. I don’t throw random encounters at you—I build challenges that make your victories feel earned. 🧩 Mystery. Morality. Mayhem. I weave story arcs that hinge on your choices, feed your backstory, and give you cinematic payoff. Whether you want emotional tragedy, eldritch suspense, or a power fantasy forged in fire, I’ll make it sing. 🎮 8 years DM’ing. 4 years professionally. Hundreds of players. Thousands of hours. Let’s make your next campaign unforgettable.
