About me

Hiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I'm a dungeon master, musician and artist. I've been running D&D sessions for about 7 years with family and friends. I'm also a violin teacher, so I'm very used to meeting and making friends with new people. The main difference between teaching violin and DMing is that as a teacher I tell you to pinch the lizard, and as a DM I ask you whether or not you pinch the lizard, and if so how hard? I'm also a massive Critical Role fan because of course I am.

GM Style

I typically like to give players a plot hook, and give players free reign on how to react. This might be as explicit as giving people a treasure map, or someone employing them as a bounty hunter. However I like to structure my sessions to (hopefully) be able to accommodate the players behaving in a way that I haven't anticipated. I'd like to have players that use their imagination and lateral thinking to force me to adapt on the fly, because I think that that makes for the best stories. In terms of combat, I like to structure them somewhat like a puzzle. Maybe enemies synergise with each other or their surroundings, so that players have to approach each combat differently. I typically highly customise combat stats in order to create these synergies.
