About me

Hello everyone! Since I started playing DnD three years ago and DMing a year later - I have immersed myself into the game and wanted to continue to play more and learn more about the game. Particularly, I wanted to play with more people, learn their insights into the game, and continue to incorporate new players into DnD. For my games, I interweave character stories into the worlds I craft in order to create a more well rounded story. I work with players who are new to DnD so they can understand their characters and the games' mechanics. Furthermore, I also utilize well designed maps, art, music, ambience, and more to create an immersive experience on Foundry VTT. I strive to create an entertaining, but safe place for each of my players to creatively engage in the stories we tell. I specialize in creating horror TTRPGs - whether running Curse of Strahd or homebrewed content. Thank you for your interest!

GM Style

Personally, I excel at creating storylines and situations that involve character investigation and inquiry. This involves roleplaying, conversations, reading materials developed by me, and more. I also try to create combat that is unique each time, high stakes, and requires tactical decision making.

Solid Gm Overall. He is great at interweaving your backstory to blend into the narrative effortlessly an making those moments in the your story feel seamless an natural. He produces detailed maps with lighting effects an has dynamic background mood setting music if you are a visual player. He allows you to be creative in the right moment to have a outside the box idea work mechanically with the system we are using. I will end this review with if you are looking for a great time regardless of what kind of type of game you are looking for maybe its heavy rp theater of mind or a mix of rp/combat/exploration with visual aids. Matt can give you a game you have no worry about enjoying

Matt is a fantastic DM who focuses on weaving player creativity and the Rule of Cool into a narrative that is immersive and cohesive. The entire session is an experience with sound effects, visual cues, and dynamic maps. I've always felt safe at his table and playing in his games and couldn't recommend him more!
