About me
I am a 38 year old being who has discovered the perfect outlet for the overflowing chalice that is my imagination: TTRPG's! I have recently began a new chapter of my DM/GM career by playing across the lands virtually. I've spent 10-20 hours a week over the last few years honing my Virtual TableTop (VTT) skills to best perform for a group of Adventurers. I have been running D&D 5e in person games for the last 8 years. I have also been (too?) deep into the lore/playing/rules and culture for at least 18 years. My love started with one book: 'Dragons of Autumn Twilight'. I HAD to play a game where I could be a gold skinned wizard and throw fireballs. My first experience was with 3.5e and it grew with every step down a low lit dungeon, full on edition change , sourcebook and homebrew... I am an avid Critter and TAZ supporter. I want to share this passion with as many people as I can. We run games with three programs: Foundry (VTT), DND Beyond, and Discord. This setup is not only easy to use, but is also 100% free for players. We use the AVRAE discord bot to make first time players have easy access to most rules needed through game chat. All games will have a Campaign link provided to my DND Beyond account allowing for full access to my purchased content for dialing in your perfect PC. I will assist in the creation of PC's to have your ever compelling backstory tied to the main adventure! (Campaigns Only) I also applaud rolling your own physical dice during games. If you do not own any physical dice (yet) your bases are covered through any of the three programs listed above. For personal safety reasons and graphic content that can come about during intense situations I restrict my games to 18+ years of age. Thanks for stopping by! - DMSC
GM Style
I love imagination above all. Context is a close second though, meaning: If it breaks immersion, it had better be HIGHLY comical XD. I do my absolute best to make sure that games are exciting (treasure), fun(treasure), puzzling (treasure), and full of glory (treasure)! Did I mention treasure?! I love to reward outside the box thinking and teamwork. I lean towards rule of cool vs. RAW (rules as written) as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone else or cause something to become OP (over-powered). No playstyle is frowned upon unless it is an active detriment to the majority of the party. (***Campaigns Only***) I like to actively help my PC's develop into who they want them to be. I will be accessible outside of scheduled game times for character development (Cross class ideas, future plans, possible retcon, ect). I would much rather help you all tell an engaging and inclusive story than get a new notch on my PC death belt. These worlds are ours, lets make it feel that way!

TL;DR: Sam is an awesome DM you cant go wrong with getting a seat at his table. Charismatic and eager DM? Check. Awesome visual aids/maps/music to vibe to? Check. Fun and engaging RP where decisions have genuine affects on your adventure? Check. Disagree with a ruling? Speak up (respectfully of course) Sam (the DM) whether or not he agrees/disagrees I guarantee he will hear you and put genuine thought to his response. I am king of the introverts (or atleast a duke), and from the first session even though I was the newbie to his table he made sure I was heard and he made sure to give me great moments to shine/fail as you only can in DnD. My favorite day of the week is DnD day and Sam is a huge part of that.

Sam is an amazing DM. You can tell he cares about the campaigns he sets up and puts a lot of work into it. There hasn't been a dull moment in the current campaign. Its had Adventure, puzzles, nail biting combat, and incredible story and role playing.

Sammy DM'd my first ever experience of a TTRPG and I could not be happier with the experience! He was patient with the group helping educate while also keeping the story moving.

Not only am I lucky enough to have Sam as my DM, but he is a best friend as well. The best part of his games are that they are fair, challenging and inclusive. He loves to shower his players with those much wanted magic items, but don't be fooled by the warm gesture... he expects you to use them. If you are new to TTRPG or if you are a sweaty min/max Edge Lord, this GM has an exciting adventure waiting for you.
Derrick
Sammychuck goes out of his way to setup scenarios and backstories for all characters. He makes it so easy to be included and gives his players freedom to create their characters how they want.
melissa
It's so much fun having him as a DM. He knows the rules, very creative, a very good storyteller, never boring. I would highly recommend him as a DM.
