About me

Warmest of greetings to you, friend! Once a professional actor and TV host, I now find fulfillment as a storyteller, a guide, to the greatest stage upon which your stories can be told. Imagine the tales the denizens would regale of your greatest battles, your greatest triumphs. There's a place for you here. The table awaits, adventurer! Your character's alignment may change over time, but, as a player, you must be good. The table I use for storytelling allows for only those that would follow these tenets: - Respect everyone at the table - Put fun first (after respect) - Be open to communication

GM Style

Rule of cool > Rules as written Creative Roleplaying > Gritty Combat Simulation Morally-ambiguous > Good vs Evil If you're looking for a DM that will give you creative freedom to tell the best story ever, you're in the right place. Rules are important for structure, but, at my table, they are only a framework. You're a good fit for my games if you like to suggest creative ideas that add to the story. Might not be a great fit if you're looking to play an optimized or "min-maxed" character build. The characters I fill my worlds with won't be black-and-white. I live in the morally grey. As a player, those are the roleplay challenges and encounters I love best, so I fill my games with them. That said, I run balanced games with an emphasis on accessible roleplay. Expect varied character voices, and an immersive world built through the people in it. Expect epic battles, dynamic NPCs, and a living, breathing fantasy world. As a player at my table, you can always expect an open-door policy with me. It's better for the players, the game, and myself if there's respectful, open communication throughout the group. Respect is always expected and always reciprocated! Reach out and let's find an adventure for you! 👋

Andre is a great DM! His foundry setup and dnd ambience music really helps set the tone of the session while his voices bring every NPC to life and makes for great immersion in the world and story.

He's simply one of the best out there! great with voices/NPC characters, awesome graphics/soundscape to support the story and a great world builder. He knows the game inside out and provides the players an excellent mood. I am so excited to play very time. He's inclusive and safe for all players. he allows for players creativity. I will always look for him first for adventures from now on. Last night it was 4 hours of sheer fun and edge of your seat RPG with Andre as our DM!

Andre is one of the best! The balance between immersive storytelling and meaningful combat is perfect and creates a really fun and engaging experience. He really cares about all the players at his table and you’ll always feel comfortable and included. I love thinking about my characters and their backstories and it really feels like Andre does too. 10/10 would recommend.

Andre is not just an excellent Game Master, he is a great story teller, world builder and just all around kind human being. He makes people especially myself who are new to dnd and online gaming feel welcome and never makes anyone feel lesser for not knowing rules or proper gameplay mechanics. I personally look forward to every dnd session with him and the great people he surrounds himself with and plays along with. I hope to experience many more fun filled gaming adventures with him. I love the feeling of being immersed into a one of a kind world. 5 Stars if I could give more than 5 I would. Andre is exceptional in all aspects in and out of the game.

As a new DnD player, Andre provides a fun and exciting space to explore and enjoy the game in its totality. His story telling with the use of visual aids and auditory effects allows players to fully immerse themselves into the story. There are ample opportunities for role-playing and battles for every player. He also provides a safe space for all players. So excited to be playing with a DM like Andre!

I joined one of Andre's campaigns on a whim hours before the session was supposed to start. He reached out and we had a 45 minute conversation about the campaign/my ideas, and we were off to the races. That was a year ago, and we've had many more character/plot conversations outside of game time for *both* campaigns. Yes, I joined another one. He's that good. A masterful storyteller who builds fantastic worlds for you to play in and help shape along with him. If there's an empty seat at his table, pull up a chair. You won't regret it!
