About me
I am a tv/film music composer, educator, hobbyist writer, and lover of all things fantasy and storytelling. With 8 years of Dungeon Mastering experience and 5 years with TTRPGs, I bring experience and passion to every story I give. I welcome anyone that wants to have a seat at my table. I am LGBTQ+ friendly, welcoming to all player levels, and include safety tools to validate everyones needs and input.
GM Style
My number one priority in GMing is immersion. Being in the film world and having such a passion for movies, I try to bring a cinematic feel to my storytelling. Because of this, I go above in beyond in every audio/visual aspect in my campaigns to provide the most enthralling experience possible. My years of experience in 3D tabletop gaming with programs such as Talespire have given me the tools to produce immense custom battlemaps and set pieces that are guaranteed to wow players. I lean into role-playing extensively in my GM style. I love the banter and antics that improv and player agency provides to the narrative. I'm also known to have high energy and a quick pace during combat, as I love to make the action as cinematic as possible.

Fenton is an incredible DM! Not only is he able to tell a wonderful story, he is extremely adaptable to player agency, weaving in what his players do flawlessly! There were so many moments full of action, laughter, and joy! I especially enjoyed the music that he composed for the game, it set the mood perfectly, bringing his world to life. I highly recommend you give him a shot, he's worth it!
Fenton was a fantastic DM. He made each session a fun adventure where we all got to feel like we had our moment in the spotlight (very impressive, given how large our party was). It was also remarkable that, even though he guided us through the narrative, it never felt like he railroaded us, giving us the liberty to try things and see what would happen (sometimes we'd succeed, and other times we'd fall hundreds of feet, off the back of a black dragon). Honestly, if there is ever a chance to go through another one-shot (or even an entire campaign) with Fenton again, I'd happily do it.
Fenton is a hidden gem of a DM. I hired him to run a short game and he went above and beyond. He does voices, music, has unique and memorable npcs and exciting battle design. He rolled with my chaotic party and everyone had a blast. Very beginner friendly, patient and let's everyone shine. It was my first time using Talespire, it was was fun to have the interactive environment for online play, especially if you're coming from a gamer background. I would absolutely recommend him for players who like to have fun games with a lot of personality.
