About me
Well met, adventurer! I have been passionate about storytelling and gaming for a long time. I found D&D 5e through a group of gamers in Charlotte, NC and have been all-in ever since. I almost immediately picked up the role of DM and have been getting ganged up on by friends and family ever since. I have experience with new players, teaching how to play and running low level games to get people engaged and ready to enjoy this hobby for years to come! Let's tell a great story, one worth telling again!
GM Style
I try to include all pillars of adventure as long as there is someone who is interested in them. Every campaign is different, with its own characters and worlds. I only have experience with D&D 5e, but will hopefully be able to add more to the list someday soon. If you have a specific published adventure you would like to play through or a favorite book/movie universe that we can emulate, we can discuss that, let's play a game we WANT to play!

Creativity
Michael is an incredible DM for first-time players. He's a super friendly and understanding guy, very well-versed in the rules and happy to explain as things go along. He tries to gear every session towards the players and adjust things to fit each group's preference of gameplay. He's open to ideas, creativity, and usually some hilarious shenanigans. Michael is definitely a safe person to talk to about anything, and fosters a welcoming environment for everyone. He's flexible where he needs to be, but also quick to point out some specific tiny lore that he's got memorized. Overall, great person to play with and learn from.
