About me

Hello! I’m Ron, a Game Master focused on providing engaging role-playing, exploration, and challenging combat encounters. I customize games to suit player preferences while ensuring they have agency within the D&D pillars. My RPG journey began with AD&D, and I've been running games nearly as long as I've been playing, covering most D&D editions and currently running D&D 5E and Pathfinder 2, both online and in person. While I'm no rules encyclopedia, I prioritize "rulings over rules" to keep the game flowing, correcting any missed rules as we go. One of my favorite aspects of RPGs is collaboratively building narratives with players, integrating character backstories into our campaigns, whether homebrew or published. I believe that if you're paying for a DM, you deserve professionalism. I’ll be punctual, prepared, and respectful, treating you as a valued customer. I communicate well and am easily reachable between sessions. For online play, I use tools like Foundry VTT, Roll20, Discord, DNDBeyond, and Demiplane/Pathfinder Nexus. If you’re looking for a fun and satisfying RPG experience, give one of my games a try!

GM Style

I love a good balance between role-play and combat. Helping the players become invested in the story that arises out of the campaign is a passion of mine and, if players are interested, I send out a questionnaire before the first session that helps me develop storylines that tie into their backgrounds. Additionally, I am always available to help new players learn the game and become more comfortable at the table.
