About me

Hello friends! I have been into D&D for over 5+ years, mostly as a DM. I hope to enjoy many more, and maybe some of them with all of you fine people! I wanted to start hosting to meet new people, as well as MAYBE just MAYBE become a professional DM. Currently DMing on Monday mornings for some friends.

GM Style

Depending on the game depends on my style. D&D 5e I like to set up the players as heroic and brave, overcoming great challenges and epic quests. Cyberpunk I like seeing them fight their way from the lowest lows to try to get to the highest highs. And so on. I have always been more adept at combat than roleplaying, but I am learning. I am horrible with voices lol.

It was very welcoming, and I immediately felt comfortable enough roleplaying with other strangers.

I really enjoyed my oneshot with Alice! The story they built up for the oneshot was creative and very fun. When a ruling was necessary, their rulings were very fair. Alice also ran the monsters in a way that was both logical and non-targeting which can sometimes be a difficult needle to thread. If you are a beginner and/or you like a wacky and fun premise and good combat I'd recommend Alice!

Most of the adventure was easily circumvented due to players being able to fly, I feel that the DM might be used to lower level adventures. Getting used to player shenanigans, and the different ways players can over-come problems, which honestly just comes with time and experience. That being said, the GM was amazing, and I loved playing with them. Even when we threw a giant ape at him, he took it like a champ and kept rolling with the punches. He might be new, but this kid is going places, ya-see!!

Super fun and casual! Wild plots with a bunch of craziness. If you are looking for a dm that keeps you on your toes, this is the one for you.

Alice was a ton of fun. The game was evocative, friendly, and super chill. I couldn't recommend playing a TTRPG enough with them as the DM. I laughed. I cried. I had snacks. It was a great time!
