About me
Hi! I’m Gadget. I’m a podcaster, author and 5E DM. I run the game for the podcast Do Dragons Dream Of Scorched Sheep?, a homebrew campaign set in the world of Erethria, where I’m leading 4 players new to the game through their first full campaign. As a Dungeon Master, I’m a strong storyteller, always looking for the cool moments and strong with character voices. I specialise in humorous gameplay alongside moments of drama and I can even push into horror. I have experience running Dungeons & Dragons, Alien RPG and the Modphius 2D20 systems.
GM Style
I’m a big fan of roleplay in my sessions. Most of my DM time has been split 60/40 between roleplay and combat. I enjoy creating funny moments, especially during combat. Some of the most cathartic laughs can come from the right response to a Crit fail at the worst time. I’m good with character voices and I always do my best to embody the being of whoever I’m voicing. When it comes to combat, I prefer to set up larger group engagements that encourage my players to work together or be creative in a fight. A group of 10 low level goblins is a much more interesting fight than a single Minotaur, in my mind.

Gadget made sure everyone was confortable and is a real rool of cool GM. He's great at describing and guiding the party. The table was real fun.

Gadget is a fantastic storyteller and fantastic at putting players at ease, allowing them to do the awesome things and feel part of the story.

This was the first time most of us, including Gadget, had played with Pathfinder rules - the session went well, and we've scheduled another to continue the intro campaign. Our Rogue killed a miniboss accidentally by bunging a rat at it and causing it to fall to its death. 10/10 would find paths again.
