About me
Hello and thanks for taking a peek at my profile! My passion has been fantasy, ancient history and mythology since I was a young child. I'm an avid writer with six published novels and I love the fantasy of D&D, which I've been playing & DMing for more than 30 years. My style is first and foremost as a storyteller, guiding players through fantasy worlds with rich detail, expansive story-lines, and prolific adventures. Above all, my objective is to entertain and have fun! Want a taste of how I DM? Take a look at my D&D 5e stream group - Legends on Paper - broadcast weekly on Twitch and YouTube! Reach out and say hello!
GM Style
Personally, I enjoy a balance of RP and action woven into an intriguing story-line that keeps me on the edge of my seat. But that's just me. For my groups, I like to tailor the experience based on what they want to get out of a game. Some folks love RP, lots of storytelling, and voice acting. No problem! Other's like a ton of action and combat - I can do that too! And sometimes the group evolves into a combination of the above or changes direction entirely. I roll with the group, keeping them interested and excited about what might come next. Ultimately I strive to offer a great story, no matter if it's a short one-shot, or long campaign. As far as content, I enjoy the original world of D&D the most - The World of Greyhawk, and of course my own world - Worlds of Atlantis. But whatever world in the D&D Multiverse, the majority of the content will be written by me unless I am running a published adventure or series of modules. Even then, I add a lot of content to keep it fresh and surprising. I am also working on a world setting based on my novels - stay tuned for more on that!

Ravek is detailed. I allow him personal freedom with aspects of my characters backgrounds and he blows me away everytime.
Mark
I started in one of Ravek's weekly 5e D&D campaigns in September 2021. He is a stellar DM that organizes an amazing game! The world he creates is rich, with even minor characters having a back story if they suddenly come to the forefront, and a healthy mix of things you truly love and those foes you love to hate. Everything comes with a detailed description, even if he has to ad-lib because of unpredictable PCs! He knows the rules and is excellent at helping new players, or players new to D&D jump in directly to the fun.
Tyler
The fact that he will let’s us derail the story to open every door in the tower and then getting attacked by dolls. The time he let us fight fire by peeing on it had to be one of the best moments so far. He is a very helpful dm.
Ian Moffett
Great at making your CH feel a part of the story. His world building is the best of any dm I have played with. Would highly recommend.

I have been playing in a weekly DnD 5e campaign with Ravek since December 2021. I am so thrilled to have found him! The game is the highlight of my week, every week. I was a beginner player and he was incredibly patient with me and helped me find my feet. I think my favourite thing about Ravek is that he sets the stage for a brilliant and intricate story but he encourages each player to get involved and to tell the story with him. A story that can go anywhere depending on our actions. As a result, we all have rich characters we care about that live and breathe in his wondrous world.
Sean Duff
He knows the old ways, knows the old lore and lets players be players.
