Hello, I'm MaxSoulGMz, aka Brian. I've been coordinating games, especially asynchronous play-by-post, for over five years, running many storygames from Blades in the Dark to Grimwild, with a focus on cinematic, character-first and character-driven campaigns. Let's connect, build friendships, and learn from each other! Exhibit your creativity and retain absolute player agency. Expect a collaborative, emotionally rich table where meaningful choices pave the story. Transparent metachannels so everyone’s expectations—including mine—are understood and respected. Your feedback will always be heard. I thrive on being adaptive and committed to growth, both as a GM and as someone who values strong, lasting connections in and out of the game. 🧭 Want a peek at how you will play?

Hello there! My name is Vincent, and the two little gargoyles behind me are Bobby and Smaug, my warlock familiars. I started playing Dungeons & Dragons in university with my featherless friends and it quickly became our favorite hobby, so much so that I've been running official and homebrew campaigns for us ever since. And because I'm always eager to play and meet new characters and experience new stories, I would be thrilled to GM for You, intrepid adventurer!🧝🏽🏹 I even wrote my master's thesis about the positive impact TTRPGs have on social and creative skills as a potential form of group therapy. A session a week is good for the brain! 🧠🧙

As a Professional Dungeon Master, I specialize in crafting immersive and dynamic experiences that blend role play with thrilling combat encounters. My campaigns are known for their depth, storytelling, and the memorable moments they create for players. The most important thing for me is to make sure that YOU have a great time! We play this together and even though I will be playing your enemies, I will always root for YOU! I want to make sure that you will remember our Campaign fondly, even after years have passed, telling people what crazy stuff you managed to do or just lose yourself in your memories from time to time. Experiencing these things with a group of great people is what makes TTRPGs stand out compared to any other game, at least these are my thoughts on it. So gather your stuff adventurer, prepare yourself and let us head out into the unknown!

Greetings and Salutations! I run a lot more games than are listed on my profile here, so if you don't see something, no worries: here is what I am currently running so you can look it up and join us! The Starving Earth: a Free Werewolf: the Apocalypse 5th Edition Story The Purple Rose and the Immortal Horse, a L5R 4e Story The Graveyard Shift: A Campaign for The Aethyrblood Chronicles Strangeness on the Inside: The Aethyrblood Chronicles Infinity - the Struggle Within: a Star Wars Story for the FFG Edition The Saga of Cobra-La: an Essence 20 Storyline Campus Slayers - an East Texas University Game for Savage Worlds "If This Be The End" - a Chronicles of Darkness Campaign Into the Deep Dark: a D&D 5e Experience (2024) Haphazard Gaming Presents: Out of the Abyss, Revisited (2024) Warhammer Fantasy: "I, Vampire" a 4e Mystery Adventure Into the Eye of Sorrow - A Numenera Story I am a professional game designer with nearly 40 years experience with myriad RPG systems. Warhammer was my first game, and it has been a passion of mine ever since. After that, I discovered TMNT & Other Strangeness, as well as the other Palladium Books RPGs they had out at the time (Ninjas & Superspies, Heroes Unlimited, Palladium Fantasy, et al). I also experimented with GURPS, Paranoia, various comic book RPGs including Marvel FASERIP, Shadowrun and quite a few others. All told, I have run at least 200 different RPGs between then and the intervening years up to these modern nights. For those in the know, I was heavily involved with the Camarilla, and when I lost interest playing with them, I wrote my own rules based off of Laws of the Wyld, and ran a Werewolf: the Apocalypse LARP for a goodly number of years. I miss my LARPing years with the vigour of an Adren Fianna or a Silver Fang Galliard. My last RPG design effort was The Aethyrblood Chronicles (TABC), a cosmic horror/supers game. I am not designing a system agnostic rules set using revised mechanics that I developed for TABC, I will be looking for official playtesters soon. Message me if you are interested. I look forward to hearing from you, and together we will rule the universe with the power of the Dark Si.... well, together we can craft some most excellent stories. Let's wonder for a spell!

Fun loving, Shenanigan instigating and story telling. I have been playing and DMing D&D for 5 years. I specialize in 5e with beginners and teaching the mechanics of the game. My truest love in ttrpg is story telling and character development, friendship and the growing confidences of players as they navigate new worlds and adventures. My tables are a safe place for New players, Players with role play anxiety that maybe want an easy environment to get better at it or even not be judged for not wanting to do it, LGBT+. It is my goal to make this a game that anyone can play and go on the amazing adventures that dnd brings you on. Im also beginning to dabble in other systems (Star Wars RPG, and Pokémon United)

Goodmorning, Goodafternoon, Goodevening! It's a pleasure for you to stop by! This British Dungeon master you've decided to ponder at has a passion for Roleplay, improvisation, story and combat! I graduated Theatre and drama as a practitioner, actor, and writer, and have been engrossed in D&D for about 10 years. My beginnings were back in my local game store, as a monk wearing orange sweatpants, and ever since I've never looked back. Playing was never enough, I was drawn to DMing, my first game being in my house entirely on a giant scroll of paper, now my house is teeming with terrain, books, and miniatures. With 5 full 2-year campaigns, 1 Homebrew and 1 set in MTG's Innistrad but mostly homebrew, an Underdark homebew, a Wildmount irl homebrew game and a nearly completed Icewind Dale to 20, under my belt. I'm always looking for new adventurers to join me on our stories! I've some campaigns still on going. An Icewind Dale game, and a Wild beyond the Witchlight! My biggest Achievement is managing an upwards of 15 player mega campaign called Barside, a come and go adventure group which ran like many one shots that canonically linked together to fullfill a long written story. It's approaching it's end this summer but I can't understate how proud of the achievements made in that game! I've been running games entirely on roll20, but I'm also looking to expand my horizons to Talespire too! It's been my dream since I was young to act and share stories as a living, and 12 years of Improv, theatre, and writing training has led me to want to do this for a living. I'm heavily influenced by other Anime, video games, and films. I try to replicate The epic combat imagery of stuff like the Fate Series. I hope to bring amazing worlds, alike Tolkein, and I'm working on becoming the magic voice box that is Matthew Mercer. I'll show you a good game and, with some good rolls and great jokes along the way, share some awesome stories with you!

I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.

Looking for the cinematic GM your dreams warned you about? That’s me. I was raised by shadows and storybooks. My first GM screen was a cereal box in the '80s. My dice were chipped, my imagination wasn’t. Since then, I’ve told tales in blood-soaked crypts, neon back-alleys, and forgotten cities beneath the sand. I'm not just a Game Master. I'm a narrative architect, a ritualist of consequence, and a collector of unsaid things. I hold a Master’s in History, Religion, and Philosophy—so even my monsters come with footnotes. Over the decades, I’ve run games for hundreds of players, hosted LARP chronicles for over 300 attendees, and built Mythveil Chronicles, a living multiverse where every table echoes across timelines. When you play at my table, you're not just part of a story. You are a legend in the making.

Hi gang :) I am an east coast DM and have DMed for many of my friends in the New York City area as well as run games online. I have a lot of campaign notes posted on YouTube. I have a background in horror screenwriting and film production. Being a New Yorker, I have run games for all sorts of players from new to veterans. I love working with new people, value fairness and I am here to help everyone at the table have a good time. My games are 5E RAW and RAI although I have very few homebrew preferences. I posted them on my YouTube channel listed below. Games are based in settings like the Forgotten Realms. I have been told my games are challenging but fun and death is rare but possible. My games are heavy on exploration, fighting, problem solving and storytelling with role play laced throughout. Creativity is rewarded. Look forward to meeting everyone. “Good luck storming the castle!” — Miracle Max

With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: 🎥 I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a Hong Kong martial arts hero, or a cigar-chewing spaghetti western cowboy? I know how stories function and how to make your dreams a reality. 🎲 I offer balanced yet challenging experiences that prioritise teamwork and foster a collaborative game between you and your fellow players. Exhilarating combat, free flowing role-play and unpredictable exploration means that you will get to experience all pillars of TTRPGS at a first class level unlike anything you've experienced before. 😄 I am approachable both in and out of game. Want to change something about your game? Let me know and I will always be happy to make adjustments. Looking for a place to call home? We foster a diverse community of players where all are welcome regardless of background. Need someone to lend an ear for some out-of-game issues? Let's talk. My door is always open. I hope to see you in game soon!

Hello to all you wonderful players and fellow GMs! My name is Cosmo The GM and I’ve been running and playing games of D&D since 2019, and I’ve loved playing roleplay video games ever since I first played the first 'Legend of Zelda' game on the NES way back in the early 90s. Since then, I've gone on to fall in love with and play many RPGs, from many of the Final Fantasy games, to Skyrim and the Witcher 3, to the modern masterpiece of Baldur's Gate 3. When I first played D&D, it sparked a passion in me that has brought me so much joy. The ability to be able to tell collaborative stories with friends and strangers, who then became good friends, alike. While I still love video games, they are still limited somewhat by their coding and programming. D&D and other TTRPGs are more or less limited by your imagination, and that has huge appeal. Live play shows and the work of DMs like Matt Mercer, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Corville, Ginny Di, The Dungeon Dudes and many more have influenced me. If you enjoy tables where with a focus on collaborative storytelling, rich and vibrant worlds, colorful and memorable NPCs, crunchy and challenging combat, with the odd puzzle thrown in, then please contact me about joining one of my established games. I am also open to running games for your own private games. Away from TTRPGs, I am an aspiring voice actor, amateur improv comedy performer and a lover of video games, reading, music and travel. Sign up to a game today. I’d love to see you at my table!

My name is Anthony, and I LOVE being a GM. The first actual game that I was a part of was me trying to use the strategy guide for Final Fantasy Origins, the first game as Origins had 1 and 2, and convert it somewhat into a tabletop campiagn with my own spin on it. It actually went surprisingly well. I then did the same thing with Final Fantasy Tactics, which was more focused on placement and tactical combat. That turned out pretty good as well. Then some friends of mine, the ones who played my FF1 campaign, had me be a player for a 4e one shot. It was interesting, but it was odd to be on that side of the game. Then I tried to run a short adventure for 5e, as it was newer, and I haven't looked back since. The sheer enjoyment of being able to come up with things on the fly and react to whatever shenanganery that the players get into is exhilarating. The way I run my campaigns is mostly sandbox. I use a mix of 3rd party content, which I usually change up quite a bit to fit with the world better, and homebrew. There's some official content beyond SRD, but it is a small amount. Each campaign has a starting point at a different area in the world, and you get multiple hooks at the end for you to decide what you want to do and where you want to go. There are multiple adventure paths and sides to take and enemies to take down, but which you find and how you approach them are up to you and your decisions that can have small impacts or campaign spanning and changing consequences, be they good or bad.

Hello adventurers, my name's Ted and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! I've been a Dungeon Master for D&D 5E for the past 5 years. I started my professional full-time DM career on November of 2021 and I've been having a blast! I am Greek born and raised, which gives me the edge when I talk for the NPCs, they all have a natural Eastern European accent! Joking aside, I love D&D and I enjoy playing every single session. I am very passionate about the game and all my players have had a great time. I DM for most of the official modules from Wizards of the Coast. I can also pick up other books if a group requests them, but will need some time to prepare. I hope you consider me to be your Dungeon Master on your next epic adventure!

Hey y'all, I'm Penny your Southern gothic, trans femme DM! She/her 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I'm an Eberron enthusiast who has been running tabletop adventures, creating new worlds, and telling stories for parties of all sizes for the last two decades. I prioritize community and party cooperation in my campaigns - no one person may save the world (or destroy it) on their own. Bringing unique, individual character stories together, melding those with memorable NPC companions, and creating dynamic challenges both in and out of initiative is all part of my recipe to deliver a campaign the party will recall for years onward. I've ran sessions for new and veteran players alike; in fact, many of my StartPlaying campaigns have been joined by players starting off on their very first TTRPG adventures. Be you old or new to the wider TTRPG universe, you have a friendly table waiting for you here to teach you all you'll need to know or maybe just polish up those old roleplaying skills. While I am a roleplaying Dungeon Master first an foremost, I do also employ a bit of "shiny" distraction in the way of high-production battle encounters and role-playing scenes. From vibrant battle maps and combat animations to dynamic lighting, sounds, and music, to fully automated character sheets that roll your dice with a single click, you can be assured you'll be immersed in the scene and not thinking about all the numbers all from behind your monitor. Thank you for checking out my profile. I hope to meet you at the table soon! Happy roleplaying!

AKA AJ Black on the interwebs! I've been a gamer for years, and tabletops were just a natural evolution of that. My first memory of playing was a Star Wars adventure with my brother and uncle, and I've been hooked ever since. It was only a matter of time until I got the itch to host games, and the catalyst for it was my partner, who'd never played tables before but was interested. I gathered a group of friends around us, and I never looked back. 8 games, 4 years, and a lot of lessons later, here we are. I am still growing, and I'll be the first to admit that, but my focus is on ensuring my players have a great time to forget about life's problems for a few hours. I specialize in Star Wars games, but have branched out recently into a few different things, including the new Marvel game that released last year, and Dr. Who. When you play with me, you get a DM who's just as excited for every session as (hopefully) their players are! You also get someone who's laid back and follows the rule of cool more often than not. I play my games almost exclusively through Discord, mostly afternoons/evenings, and we use theatre of the mind, though if the situation calls for it I will discuss other options. The only thing I ask is that if we set up a time to meet, please keep me appraised of what's going on. I understand that sometimes life happens, and I will work with you, but I can't do anything if I don't know about it. Let me know ASAP if you need to drop or skip a session, and I will accommodate you to the best of my ability.

Hello, I'm Leaf! I'm a neurodivergent voice actor, GM, fantasy writer, and I make DnD/RPG content on Youtube/Twitch under the handle aStoryofaLeaf. I have a background in theatre during High school and film production during college, so I approach my games in a very thematic way. I have been a GM & player for several years, and long before I had anyone to play DnD or TTRPGs with, I was an avid worldbuilder, storyteller, and writer for 17+ years. I've always loved collaborative storytelling and I believe that TTRPGs are the best medium for that, so as soon as I started playing DnD 5e with friends, I was hooked! I strive to run games that are compelling, inclusive, dramatic, comedic, & above all fun! Player agency and providing a safe space for my players to tell the story they want for their characters are very important to me. I want my players to experience gut busting laughter, heartbreaking drama, unsuspected shock, terrifying suspense, and any other cathartic emotional release that they seek. My games are PC-centric, unique, and tailormade to bring the PCs into the larger narrative. I specialize in sandbox open-world style games. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️LGBTQIA+ Friendly, Safe Space, and Beginners welcome! I am happy to teach and assist new players every step of the way! ✉️ Feel free to send me a message with any questions!

Role Playing Games were my sanity's refuge when my undiagnosed neurodiversity turned my academic endeavors into a living hell. The stories we weaved, and the love of the friends we wove them with, kept everyone going, and with each other, we were no longer alone. As time would have it, and in spite of our academic or social struggles, we ended up being an exceptional group professionals in our chosen fields, and as we sought to make our childrens' journey easier, most of my friends discovered their own neurodiversity. I want the opportunity to help your characters live epic stories and perhaps, if we are lucky, to turn strangers into lifelong friends. I belong to the Jim Butcher and WX (Sanderson-Kowal-Tayler-Wells) schools of storytelling, Gygax's philosophy of multi-party sandbox campaigning, and have several "podiums" in national (Venezuela) and regional (Caracas) tournaments under my belt (Stopped counting after five). Me? I'm a mixed Norseman-Latino, neurodivergent, liberal, geek, TTRPG and biology nerd. My mum got the "love all, respect all" of her beloved sixties in my heart at an early age, so expect zero judgment, and the (sometimes overbearing) care and kindness I try to offer to the people in my life. As well as some of my anarchist dad's, stonefaced humor (he was a riot, but his humor was black-hole-grade). I'm as old as, and hold the motto of, the Hard Rock Café 🎸: 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞"Love All-Serve All, All Is One, Save The Planet, and Take Time To Be Kind." 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞ Ready to play campaigns: DnD 5e: Phandelver and below + Essentials (bundled up or separate) Helianna's Monster Hunts.

I've been playing and storytelling for 30+ years, first with some DnD box sets and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I've played or run most systems that have seen the light of a basement lamp. I prefer more player-forward systems that let everyone at the table have a strong say in the narrative, but focused tactical games have their place on the table, too! I've been running games professionally(re:Paid by real humans) for 2 years now, and have a pretty good track record.

Stories are a balm to sooth in hard times, a plan for growth, and a chance to reflect. A hobby nearly as old as humanity itself, sitting around fires and spinning yarn with good company. This is the tradition I seek to embody. Greetings seeker, thank you for seeing me. You may be asking yourself, "With so many options available on this lovely website, why should you decide to sit at my table? What sets this person apart?" To that I say I do not wish to be set apart. I want to sit with you, and find out the story your heart yearns to sing. I want to help explore something new, I would very much like to show you why I love collaborative storytelling. If you're new, I want to show you what this beautiful hobby has to offer, and if you're a veteran storyteller and already know? Then I want to see what we can make applying our skills together. I'm a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I'm fond of the many things that make everyone unique human beings, and I will strive to create a safe and fun environment to explore the stories we tell together. Finally, I'm more than happy to work with beginners to any system I'm familiar with to help you learn the game. For the more experienced player, I love the act of exploring oneself through characters, and I would be happy to create the space for said exploration. So wanderer, if you're curious, feel free to direct message me with any questions you might have, I am always glad to make new friends!

Welcome to my gaming profile! I'm Berrey Matlock, and I'm thrilled to be hosting games here on StartPlaying.games. With over 27 years of experience in dungeon mastering and storytelling, I've traversed countless realms of imagination, from the perilous dungeons of Dungeons & Dragons to the shadowed streets of Vampire: The Masquerade. Throughout my journey, one principle has always guided me: the unwavering commitment to entertain my players above all else while providing a safe and inclusive space that's welcoming to all. What drives me to host games is the sheer joy of creating unforgettable experiences for my players. For me, it's not just about crafting intricate plots or challenging encounters; it's about fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. Whether it's leading a band of intrepid adventurers on a quest to save the world or immersing players in the dark and atmospheric world of vampire politics, I prioritize creating a safe and inclusive space where players can be themselves and explore their creativity without fear of judgment. What sets me apart as a GM is my relentless dedication to fostering a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. I believe that tabletop RPGs have the power to bring people together, regardless of background or identity, and I go above and beyond to ensure that everyone at the table feels heard, seen, and respected. Whether it's through thoughtful world-building that reflects diverse perspectives, proactive communication to address any concerns or discomfort, or simply creating opportunities for players to shine and express themselves authentically, I strive to create a space where everyone can thrive. So, whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a curious newcomer, I invite you to join me on an epic journey through the realms of imagination. Together, we'll embark on thrilling adventures, forge lasting friendships, and create memories that will last a lifetime."

Greeting Adventurers! I'm the Guildmaster (Marcel) and DnD/ content creating is my full time job. Below you can find a link to my ever-growing 'Session Zero Document' which goes over the setting, my DM style, and other campaign questions more in depth. This should give you a great idea if my setting fits your play style and I sincerely hope you join me in this growing world. If you see one of my settings interests you but is in the wrong timeframe, reach out to me. I'll do my best to accommodate. Player enjoyment is one of my highest priorities. I hope to encourage communication between my players and myself to hear, understand, and work to resolve any issues that might arise. If my players let me know that something is less than ideal for them, it will be something I do my best to keep in my thoughts moving forward. https://docs.google.com/document/d/135HDkBNcRK9tmcu1S1ThqSzeQO3J8o0BT5zIGDpPim8/edit?usp=sharing Here is a recent YouTube video I made outlining how I run laws in my setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgQGtYJr4hg&t=173s

Hi there! It's me, Nikki! I am a 30 year old black/white bisexual that uses She/Her pronouns. I've been running table top games since 2013. I love running games for new and beginning players, helping them learn the system, what they can do and show them how imaginative and exciting TTRPGs can be! It started with a friend wanting to play pathfinder for the first time and he had no one to run for him and his friends. I asked him if he was cool with me running a Disney princess inspired game. The group was enthusiastic about the game idea, and now I had all these punk rock, tatted, pierced guys, playing magical princess in pathfinder. I feel in love with the games and community and never looked back. I mostly run D&D 5E with other systems, like Thirsty Sword Lesbians, For the Queen, Monster Hearts 2, and A Proper Yearning in a Time of Uncertainty, and many more. I'm one of the founders of SlaydiesATL, a streaming group built by and for femme presenting and nonbinary people of color, with most of our streams uploaded on to youtube under SlaydiesATL. I used to run D&D games in person at bars before the pandemic, free drop in oneshots for all experience levels as well as 5 several month to years long campaigns completed under my belt. I use safety tools in all my games, check ins, and after game talks. In my normal day to day, I'm a stay at home mom of two, crocheting while watching bad movies, and enjoying monster romance books. I hope to see you at my table!

Creativity, inclusiveness and fun are the cornerstones of my style as a professional game master. Everyone is welcome to add something to the story and not a session goes by without something unexpected happening. If you want to do something different, perhaps a little silly, and definitely fun then check out my games. I almost exclusively run original campaigns that allow for a lot of collaborative storytelling and exploration in all directions. https://linktr.ee/schismnavigator
