About Tony
I’ve been roleplaying for nearly 20 years and DMing for 6+, with 10+ full campaigns brought to completion — including a 5‑year epic. I started in play‑by‑post forums and IRC games, where I fell in love with slow-burn, character-driven storytelling and collaborative worldbuilding. Today, I run focused, story-forward games built around one principle: Your choices matter. My tables are intentionally small (4–6 players) to keep the experience personal, immersive, and reactive. I don’t run chaotic drop-in games — I run campaigns designed to last. 🎲 What You Can Expect Immersive, Reactive Worlds A setting that evolves with your decisions — not a railroad, not a sandbox without direction, but a living story shaped by you. Dynamic NPCs Distinct voices, motivations, and relationships that develop over time. Characters remember you. Professional Infrastructure Roll20 Plus, custom maps, curated NPC tokens, ambient music, and organized campaign materials. Consistent Follow-Through Session summaries included. Optional audio highlights or recordings available. No ghosting. No favoritism. No half-finished arcs. Rule of Cool — Structured Cinematic moments are encouraged — within a framework that keeps the game balanced and meaningful. 💡 Why I DM I’m inspired by fantasy fiction, culture, science, and the way collaborative storytelling brings strangers together. The best campaigns aren’t about perfect mechanics — they’re about the moment when a table goes silent because something real just happened in the story. That’s what I build toward. If you're looking for a reliable, engaging, human DM — someone who treats your time and character investment seriously — I’d love to have you at my table.

When I'm not running games I'm...
Making music, playing with my aminals, writing, reading - or out in nature! I love to hike, bike, and kayak as much as the weather allows.
How Tony runs games
- **Reliability & Care:** I’ve completed 10+ campaigns, including a 5‑year saga. I commit to my tables, and I want every session to feel like a story worth remembering. - **Roleplay First:** I love seeing players dive into their characters and make bold choices. My tables focus on roleplay and character‑driven moments that shape the world. - **Dynamic NPCs:** Every NPC has a voice, a personality, and a purpose. I bring the world to life through interaction, not just narration. - **Cinematic Combat:** Battles are both tactical and story‑rich. I use maps and tokens when needed for clarity, but I lean into narrative combat and the Rule of Cool to keep things exciting. - **Collaborative Storytelling:** I build reactive worlds where your actions matter. Player backstories and decisions directly influence arcs and outcomes. - **Flexible Rules Approach:** I run a structured game, but I’m not here to stop great ideas because of dice math. Creativity and dramatic storytelling come first. - **Player Spotlighting:** Small tables (4–6 players) let me give each player their moment. I actively work to make sure every character gets their story beats. - **Professional Prep & Tools:** I use Roll20 Plus for play, with custom maps, tokens, ambient music, and free session summaries (with optional audio highlights or recordings).
