About Dunder

Calling all elven accountants, hobbity-hikers, dungeon dwellers, tree top crawlers, library goblins and adventurers in search of a mystery, a laugh and a roll of the dice ;) I'm a 34 year old Canadian storyteller, using TTRG's to escape... well reality. I'm a writer, leaning heavily on homebrew, with custom world designs, physics, player races and items. I am a facilitator by training, so I'm all about a fun space where we can all play, escape and explore. I'm the right DM if you are looking for quirky, story driven, sandbox games, big time rule of cool dynamics, safe spaces and thoughtful integration of your character and backstory into new worlds you have yet to explore! Games are a balance of RP, exploration and combat, but my heart skips a beat for those messy little backstories that keep you up at night. My campaigns are slow burn, with narrative plots that unfold piece by piece. If you are looking for instant gratification and clear understanding of plot from session 1, I’m probably not your GM. But if you are looking for morally grey, complex stories that your character unravels session by session, I’ve got you. Love new players! Love player contributions to world building! Love whatever crazy thing you want to do that is going to absolutely derail the whole group into a fit of laughter and bubbles. Not interested in players who bring non-inclusive energy, don't want to share space, or are looking to put others down. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, sexism, any other ism, obia or characteristic based violence between characters or players is absolutely unwelcome. Let's just not. And say we didn't. Let's go on an adventure! Please contact for custom worlds, happy to bring your imagination to life :D

When I'm not running games I'm...

writing fantasy novels, cuddling my dog, or wandering around in the woods.

How Dunder runs games

I’m in love with twisty turny stories. You can expect character and story driven campaigns with a mix of combat, exploration and role play. Most session have a blend, unless the group meets a crab named Hank that honks when squeezed, in which case, role play heavy ;P

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

Allowing the most FUN ruling in the moment, and then clarifying the rule for next time when it will be enforced.

I once ran a session...

where the BBEG was a giant cabbage.

My games focus on...

weaving complex and high-stakes stories that revolve around character backstories and motivations. I work to create a game where you laugh so hard you cry, and cry so hard you laugh.

Dunder's ideal table

My table is excited to role play, know what is most important to their character and put energy into bringing the other players into their ideas. My table is a safe space to laugh, to challenge, to be vulnerable and to pull crazy stunts with friends.

Featured Prompts

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

If you're into morally grey and slow burn, you'll love my table. My plots require difficult choices with steep consequences. My stories take time to unfold and require curiosity (any maybe a bit of red yarn). If you want a messy table, messy characters, plot twists and juicy secrets, welcome :)

I love it when a player

Sends me a DM saying "I was thinking about my character and..." and proceeds to update, define or thicken their character's backstory.

I think it's a red flag when players...

Only talk to NPC's and not other player characters.
