About Dom
Founder of the Twitch/YouTube/Podcast channel Saving Throw Show and enjoyer of RPGs. I'm a big proponent of the Rule of Cool with games. I primarily run games using Savage Worlds, but I run D&D (2e, 5e), Pathfinder 2e, Shadowrun, Fantasy Flight Star Wars, and a few others as well. I think the key to a healthy and happy table is communication, and that includes safety tools. I run an LGBTQ+ and BIMPOC friendly table, and happily accept neurodivergent players. My games tend to be pulpy, full of action and adventure, and role-play heavy. You can also chat with me about streaming games! I've been streaming RPGs since 2014 and am happy to answer questions!

I got started GMing...
I ran my first game at age 11 (a TMNT & Other Strangeness adventure). It was a one-shot TPK, and I was horrified. Took me nearly 30 years to recover, but I think I'm better now.
My favorite shows/movies are
Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, Goonies, Sopranos, Deadwood, Tombstone, The Quick and the Dead
My favorite system of all Time is
Savage Worlds
How Dom runs games
Roleplay heavy with a strong sense of the rule of cool. I like running heroic games, but I'm not afraid to dive into realism when necessary.

I deal with rules issues by...
Quick lookup if possible, but I try to keep things flowing. I'll use common sense gameplay and what makes for a better experience based on player feedback.
Dom's ideal table
I like action drivers - players who enjoy cinematic experiences and will keep pushing the narrative.
Featured Prompts
I am for a vibe that's...
Cinematic, lively, and fun!
I love it when a player
Takes a story element and expands it, applies it to their character, and pushes their own character's connections to the world and specifically the adventure at hand.
