About me

I have over ten years of experience performing with improv on stage and have been playing and running TTRPGs since middle school. I have a deep and abiding love for improv and collective story making as well as game design, voice acting, and sharing the joy my geeky passions. I welcome players of all experience and love teaching new folks how to play. In my games, you’ll meet multidimensional NPCS with distinct voices and a world that changes in response to your character’s actions. Your backstory will be woven into the narrative as I customize the adventure to suit the characters’ journey. In classic campaigns, you will get the best of a time-tested module while experiencing a story that is uniquely your own. As a GM, I present the characters with difficult challenges while cheering on the players. You will join in a “writers’ room” style of play with collaborative lore building as well as delve into dramatic scenes where we play to find out what happens. I lean on the dice decide our fate so we can all be surprised by where the story takes us.

GM Style

I offer a fun and exciting experience playing pretend in a safe and inclusive environment. I am happy to help those new to role playing or aren't as familiar with a particular system. For me, enthusiasm and willingness to "Yes And" fellow players are the greatest attributes of a player - and those don't require experience! My games offer: - A collaborative story where decisions matter and each player shines - Complex and dynamic NPCs brought to life through voice acting - Colorful descriptions to paint the world - Epic and challenging battles - Intriguing mysteries to unravel - A cooperative and inclusive Yes& atmosphere Whether you are new to role playing or no stranger to rolling dice, I leave plenty of room at my table for various styles of play: role-play, tactical-gaming, problem solving, and custom world-building. Dynamic role play is balanced with tactical challenge in the midst of solving mysteries and exploring fantasy worlds.

My first game on StartPlaying and I loved it. "80" was very welcoming before getting my first start by being engaging on how I can come in to introduce my PC to the group. That 1st session was fun. "80" adapted to our craziness, fantastic storytelling, and keeping all of us involved. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to participate in this game and have him GM for me along with a great support cast. I highly recommend him as a GM.

The adventure led by Dungeoneer80 was a fantastic introduction to D&D 5e! The College of Dungeoneering balanced fun and learning perfectly, with engaging roleplay, a thrilling dungeon crawl, and tactical combat. Dungeoneer80's guidance created a welcoming, inclusive space for beginners to thrive. Highly recommend this 101

This was a very fun first encounter dnd session. We had a lot of fun and a lot of jokes. Dungeoneer80 was really patient and funny. The group I was playing with was well coordinated and we all had an amazing time.

Dungeoneer80 put on a solid first run. If you've never played or are just learning, I highly recommend him as a DM. He is super patient and quick on his feet when you use... less than typical tactics. We had a druid that was a complete pacifist and didn't wanna attack anything. He quickly adapted and made it so they could still be an effective part of the team. As far as patience goes, the man is a saint, we prattled on with tons of newbie questions and he was never less than amazing at explaining and answering. I will definitely be looking into more of his adventures as I'm now hooked. One final note, he is very theatrical and had us cracking up the entire adventure. Sign up today and have the time of your life!

One of the best DM if you're a beginner. Very great at explaining things and very great at being immersive. Great storytelling and works with the group.
