About me
Tired of D&D feeling like a textbook? Ready for an adventure where your story takes center stage? Your Adventure, Unleashed I'm here to bring your wildest D&D dreams to life, not just roll dice. "You are the story!" is my mantra. Forget getting bogged down in rigid rules; while we respect the game's framework, I thrive on the "Rule of Cool." If your epic, creative, or just plain awesome idea stretches the rules a bit but makes the moment unforgettable, we're doing it! My homebrew touches might make the challenges tougher, but they'll always be geared towards making your triumphs more rewarding. After over 20 years playing RPGs and 15 years in entertainment (including improv comedy and character impressions!), I'm ready to moderate and lean into whatever wild direction the party wants to go. The Chilling Call of Icespire Peak Our journey begins in the rugged frontier town of Phandalin. A fearsome white dragon, Cryovain, terrorizes the lands, driving monstrous creatures from the icy peaks straight into the struggling town. 🐉❄️ Roads are perilous, farms are abandoned, and a desperate plea for heroes echoes through the valleys. Will you be the ones to answer the call, or will the region succumb to Cryovain's icy reign? I'm looking for all types of adventurers – whether you're a valiant warrior, a cunning rogue, a wise wizard, or any hero you can dream up, your unique skills and personality will shape our epic tale! Let's Get Started! To ensure a smooth launch into our adventure, please have these ready: Headphone Microphone: Essential for crystal-clear communication. Roll20 Account: Our virtual tabletop for maps and dice. D&D Beyond Account: For character sheets and rules. We'll kick things off with a Session Zero. This is our no-pressure pre-game where we'll create characters, discuss expectations, establish comfort zones, and go over basic rules. My absolute priority is that everyone feels comfortable and has a blast. While I'm open to most content, sexual content is off-limits. If anything ever makes you uncomfortable, please message me directly and privately. Your comfort is key! Ready to ditch the rulebooks and dive headfirst into adventure? Let's make some unforgettable stories together!
GM Style
Your Choices Drive the Story. Every Action Has a Reaction. Tired of rigid rulebooks? Ready for an adventure where you run the show? That's what you'll find at my table! This is an improv-based game where your creativity is the ultimate weapon. While challenges will be real and encounters can be tough, we lean heavily into a rules-light approach, always prioritizing the "Rule of Cool." If it's awesome, we're doing it. Your decisions have real consequences, shaping a living, breathing world around you. I've spent over 20 years playing RPGs and 15 years in entertainment (including improv comedy and character impressions), and I'm here to moderate and amplify your vision for the adventure. Forget limiting yourselves; let's craft an epic tale together, out of the books and into the wild unknown!

Couldn’t recommend more! Approachable, friendly, responsive and reactive to the group. 10/10 DM for us beginners first time playing!
Andrew Walker
GameKnight was very flexible with our very new and quite chaotic group. Did a great job guiding us through the game while explaining the rules to us on the fly. I particularly appreciated his instruction and scolding to the group about the ethics of the game and and attempts at keeping us focused and in character.
NGZKI

Irmina
"session received for free" was a great deal of fun, and foudn ways to let me do stuff outside of jsut the normal combat actions, like trying to make the enemies attack me instead of party mates
Amin Nor
My first time experience was wonderful, had fun with the dm and other players, no hard feeling and trying to help out and teach me how to play with zero experience, can.t wait to have another adventure with the DM
Ryrir
He is highly entertaining. He has come up with many creative ideas for sessions. He is also good with working with the player's own creative ideas and weaving them in.
