About me
With over 30 years experience playing and running RPGs for players, I strive to be a place where players new and experienced can come and tell stories together in a safe, fun environment. What I want for my players is simple; to have fun, however I am able to provide that to them. I espeically want players who have had bad table experiences in the past or players who have struggled with neurodiversity issues to find their TTRPG "home" with me. I like to joke that my DM/GM aesthetic is "dad jokes and innuendo", but I also strive to make the experience as immersive as the players wish it to be/are able to process. It is my sincerest wish that we start as clients, but end up friends, whether it's a one-shot or a campaign. I look forward to sharing a table with you soon.
GM Style
I love roleplay, and love to try character voices and improv acting. I will gauge the game balance with the kind of party that we have. Combat, Roleplaying & Exploration are all important, and each has their fans, so the idea is to balance it so everyone at the table is having fun and everyone gets to be in the spotlight in as equal a manner as possible. Or, if you prefer a five "star" system...π Combat: βοΈβοΈβοΈ Exploration: ππ Humor: ππππ (assuming you like dad jokes...) Puzzles: π§©π§© Social: πππππ

Fluffy was an AMAZING DM and made the one-shot fun, engaging, and a wonderful holiday treat. I look forward to playing in more of his games. I have now played with Fluffy on several occasions and greatly appreciate his humour and attention to detail.

I have known Shawn for many years outside of the gaming world, and have started to game with him over the past few years. He puts together a well-rounded game with achieveable difficulty level and thought-out challenges for his players. He gives great detail, but allows his players the ability to find their way. I would recommend him very highly.

I have played Fluffy's games multiple times and he has always been very understanding and patient with many different groups of players and it's always a good time :)

When things go good with Shawn, they go great! He's built a great community, and his stories are really fun to experience.

Fluffy ran an awesome one-shot for my first game. And was very accommodating for beginners. Also Dad jokesπ

Fluffy's and amazing DM! He's extremely attentive and takes the time to explain things, allows players freedom to do much and explore the worlds he builds, and fosters kind and inclusive spaces. 10/10 would recommend trying one of his campaigns, especially if you're neurodivergent or new to DnD!
