About tony
Hi! I'm Tony! I’ve been roleplaying for nearly 20 years and DMing for 6+, running 10+ full campaigns to completion, including a 5‑year epic. I got my start in play‑by‑post forums and IRC games, where I fell in love with story‑driven, collaborative TTRPGs. I’m a player‑first DM who focuses on creating immersive, reactive worlds that make every session memorable. My tables are small (4–6 players) and designed to feel personal, creative, and inclusive. 🎲 What You Can Expect at My Table: ✨ Immersive Storytelling: A living world where your choices truly matter 🎭 Dynamic NPCs: Distinct voices, personalities, and meaningful interactions 🗺️ Professional Tools: Roll20 Plus, custom maps, NPC tokens, and ambient music 📝 Session Summaries: Free written recaps, with optional audio highlights or recordings 🤝 Collaborative & Inclusive Play: Every player gets attention; no favoritism or ghosted games ⚔️ Rule of Cool Philosophy: Cinematic combat and creative freedom within a structured game 💡 About Me: I’m inspired by fantasy fiction, culture, and science, and I DM because the best moments come from real people building a story together. My goal is to make your next campaign the one you talk about for years. If you’re looking for a reliable, engaging, and human DM—someone who makes your story the star—I’d love to have you at my table. My roll20: https://app.roll20.net/users/295305/teronism

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
- **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 smooth play, with custom maps, tokens, ambient music, and free session summaries (with optional audio highlights or recordings). - **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.
