About me
Hello! I'm Garrett Norton, a roleplay-focused DM who runs 5e. I have 3 years experience DMing the system, and thus have plenty enough knowledge of it to guide both new and experienced players through a campaign. I'm accustomed to large groups and have plenty of experience running campaigns with quite a few players. To be transparent, I am most experienced as an Improv DM and I plan loosely for sessions, leaving possibilities open for players.
GM Style
I am a pretty well-mixed DM with a decent lean towards roleplay. I'm an aspiring voice actor, so characters have voices aplenty. I do usually set core narratives for my campaigns with allowances for side quests and player tom-foolery. My combat can vary from large encounters, more narrative fights, to nice, big, crunchy boss fights depending on what the narrative requires.

Garrett is a great DM for character interaction and development and roleplay. He uses battle and the events of the campaign to really play to your characters a strengthen them. Some of my favorite moments were when he spotlighted my characters backstory really well.

If you are looking for a DM who prioritizes player agency and whose generous awarding of magic items is unparalleled than Garrett is the DM for you! Garrett is the type of Dm where you will go in for a one shot and you wont want to leave until its a full campaign.

I have played Garrett's campaigns for almost 3 years now and I have enjoyed every session. He does a great job at telling stories and creating amazing worlds and takes critique seriously. Combat usually isn't overwhelming (unless you make him mad and fight the demon lord) and makes sense within the world. Overall a great experience!

He is disturbingly proficient in GMing large groups, and he's got enough fun in him to allow homebrew if it's not going to fuck his or anyone else's fun up. He takes constructive criticism very well and actually asks for it after sessions usually. His biggest thing is that he prioritizes player comfort, so if there's something happening in or out of game that you're disturbed by or aren't comfortable with, he'll do whatever he can to make it alright. Might be headstrong sometimes but he's a great guy and a great GM.

Garret is an amazing DM who really cares about his players. He creates awesome storylines and characters to interact with. He always makes sure everyone feels included and gets their own spotlight moments.
