About me

About a year ago I caught the D&D bug hard! I love the magic that happens when a group of adventurers lose themselves in a story, pushing their imaginations and building connections at the table. I enjoy both sides of the dm screen and see the dm role as being a catalyst for the players to explore an awesome world. I like an open enough world to avoid railroading a story, but enough plot to actually feel that there are stakes and important things to do. Being somewhat newer to the game I don't always know every tiny rule in the moment, but feel that fun at the table comes before any rules and we can always learn things together. My players always have fun, especially when they bring an open mind and a vibe that prioritizes fun and camaraderie at the table! I want the table to be an open and safe space for all.

GM Style

I try to find a good balance of roleplay and combat, with plot and openness to create a story that can move different directions, with some mystery and creative problem solving. Killing cool monsters is great, but not everything is solved that way. I like and support creative story telling (within reason of course).
