About me

Heyoo! I'm Stephen (he/him pronounced Steven, but spelled with a PH (I don't get it either!) I’m a Professional Dungeon Master with experience guiding hundreds of players, ranging from brand-new adventurers to seasoned veterans who’ve been rolling dice long before they went digital! I hope to you through unforgettable campaigns, spine-chilling dungeon crawls, and wildly hilarious, rule-bending one-shots! I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons since my senior year of high school in 2015, when members of the disbanded D&D club joined the Yugioh club I was running I had turned my club into a Table Top games club and became the Dungeon Master for those players! Since then, I have watched and learn about many other DMs and their styles from Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Mercer, Aabria Iyengar, Chris Perkins, and Jeremy Crawford. Combining their styles with how I like to run campaigns as led me to a genuine love for storytelling, world building, and collaborative game play. Putting Player Agency first and utmost in the drivers seat!

GM Style

I believe that D&D is all about crafting a collaborative and immersive story, where every character as their moment to shine. I specialize in custom-tailored campaigns that weave your character’s backstory into the very fabric of the narrative. Whether you're a fan of deeply written backstories or prefer to discover your character's arc as you play, I'll make sure your journey is as epic and engaging as possible with plenty of trauma to come your characters way if you are into that sorta thing ;) That feeling of getting up early on Saturday morning to watch cartoons is what I hope to make you feel every week when you get ready to join us at table for another episode of our DnD Story! unfolds, and every session is filled with excitement, laughs, epic moments and of course cliffhanger endings! Your character is a crucial part of the campaign and the story we wish to tell at the table! I collaborate with each player to ensure that their story fits into the larger campaign world, making every session feel meaningful. Engaging Roleplay & Epic Combat: Whether you live for intense roleplay or thrilling encounters, I'll create a balanced, engaging experience to challenge and excite you wondering what dramatic twist will come next! Safe, Fun Environment: My top priority is that everyone has a fun, inclusive, and safe space to play. Whether it's your first time playing or you’re a veteran, you’ll always feel welcome!
