About me

I have over 5 years of experience running Dungeons & Dragons 5e, and I have been playing for about as long. I have been in good campaigns, and terrible campaigns, and I have learned what sort of tone and system works for me. My approach to Dungeons & Dragons is a careful, serious narrative one. Tabletop RPGs are the perfect tools for immersing yourself into a narrative and becoming locked into a consistently engaging story. No character will ever be as interesting as the one that you inhabit, and I seek to bring the same carefully curated storytelling to the characters in my campaigns. I specialize in grim tones, and turning minor creatures into serious threats for even higher level parties using strong in-world strategy. I put a heavy focus on the early game (Tiers 1 and 2), but also know how to make the best fun out of the end game (Tiers 3 and 4).

GM Style

As a Dungeon Master I consider myself more of a, "Consequence Engine". I present you with the world, and you pull on the intangible threads around you... What comes is the inevitable consequences of the world crumbling in on you. Adventuring is bloody, brutish, and nasty. Tactical combat comes about when you wish, as I do my best to provide you with many solutions to any one problem. I grant the best sandbox I can to invested players.

I've never had a DM so set on creating a world of chaos and intrigue. He's brilliant, to put it simply. He draws you in no matter what is going on and keeps you wanting more and more of the world he has let you peak into. His setting, lore, and pure effort when it comes to DMing are amazing and will never cease to amaze me. Going as far are rewriting the way the game works to create a world people want to explore. There is a promise that you will never be bored when playing with this massive nerd.

Known and played with this GM since he started GMing. He is highly willing to be experimental and uses various systems, system combinations, and homebrew rules to enhance his game, and is excellent at giving a very unique experience while maintaining player enjoyment at its core. Throw away all expectations with this GM, (no matter how many times you play with him they will always be wrong) and prepare yourself to make a fantastic experience with whatever canvas he gives you...it will be memorable.

He is fantastic at making a story interesting, even when the players decide to break off from the party.

I was able to bring my OC from a different game into his, no one else has been able to pull that off, and it was fun.

This DM takes their dear time in creating worlds and storylines that are sure to be a fun, fun fun ride for all players involved. At the same time, they are someone who provides a lot of room for personal creativity and character creation, which is personally for me one of the best qualities a DM can have. Voices most of his own NPC's with all sorts of different custom voices, and their adventures just get more and more fun with each coming session. Super cool person, will be your best friend whether you want him to or not, and has a vast and limitless imagination.

His worlds are always interesting and unique, while also always being open to change by the actions of characters and players. He enjoys his craft and does his best to ensure everyone else shares in the enjoyment.
