About me

It all started like any other day, my brother telling me I've gotta try this new thing out. At the time I had no idea it was D&D. I had been told all of the tales from the Satanic Panic by my parents and I was unsure about the game as a whole. My First character, a that guy bard who died rather quickly. His death got me into role play and all of my characters after him have been thought out a lot more. I started GMing after my first campaign And I've grown to love D&D and other TTRPG's. Now I love 5e, it's not perfect but I love it. That being said I will home-brew things to make them work better. 90% of the games I have run are home-brew. I'm not against running a game as written it all depends on what my players want to play.

GM Style

I'm a go with the flow GM. I can improvise a boss fight on the spot and pull situations out of the Either. I once improvised an entire campaign without taking notes. The world was made by the players backstories and the actions they took during the game. It was a fun Romp. I'm at my best when running a game that is fun for everyone, I typically try to read the group to come up with scenarios everyone will enjoy. Even if that means throwing Tiamat at them for a dance off. Yes, that has happened. She brought the house down literally. My personal favorite is horror though. I've gotten good at scaring my parties. But I won't spoil any of that as that comes up eventually in every game I run. No matter what can of game you want the choice is yours.

He allows player agency to guide the story, instead of a module and sees derailing as an opportunity for a new story arc. It is all about narrative and what the players want. Enabling the players is his motto, good story is the goal and that is perfection!

It was great! The DM welcomed me into the game with grace and were right to role-playing. I can't wait to see what happens next!

Very collaborative. Creates a friendly environment and is open to working with players to incorporate their ideas into the game (within reason). Creates worlds and stories that are engaging, but also somewhat flexible to the whims of the player without being totally beholden to them.

This DM is beyond great at setting the world stage and telling an interesting story within it. I've played with him for over a year and he has always been great at answering any questions and giving any details the player wants to know about the world. He is also great at understanding the many 5e rules and is more than capable of answering any questions the player has. Overall an amazing DM and a great person to play with!

Actively tries to work with players and make things fun. Aims to include player choices and give them options to try new ideas or back out of possibly bad ones. Communicates concepts and will do their best to make the space inviting and fun for all.

This GM has a good balance of rule of cool and follow the rules. He allows for chaos to happen and will give you a chance to rethink your terrible decisions, though as a chaos player when he asks "Are you sure?" I mostly say "No, but I;'m doing it anyway." A lot of fun and easy to get along with as long as you are not causing trouble for others at the table.
