About me

Hi i am a dungeon master of 6 years for dnd 5th edition. I deeply love the game and experiences me and my friends have created. I now want to extend that opportunity to others. By doing this i hope further deepen my skills as a dm, make new friends, and provide for my budding family. I am a open minded dm, willing to customize items features and skills to suit the needs or desires of specific games. I hope you have your blade sharp and wit even sharper. If you fear not the sting of death nor the might of dragons you may just have a chance. Will you take up the mantle of hero? Will you fall prey to the wilds? Maybe, you should come find out for yourself.

GM Style

I am a laid back dm with a deep love for group storytelling where we can see our PCs develop and change over a campaign. I enjoy mysteries and high magic settings such as the Forgotten Realms and I riff off of the canon with my own special changes and lore additions. I also deeply enjoy combat and optimized character builds. I usually run slightly overpowered campaigns where PCs usually have custom perks and more magic items than usual over time but with an encounter challenge to match for intense battles. I always recommend having a back up character. In case of untimely deaths for adventurers. I do my best to bring in replacement characters in a natural way. I do character and monster voices within my range, but feel no pressure to do so yourself unless youre comfortable with it. I expect a minor degree of improv "yes and-ing" to fellow players and npcs in game for purposes of keeping things moving in session but if you want to pursue a separate course of action feel no hesitation to ask.

They are really great at story and world-building. The sessions are always really fun and interesting. One of my favorite things is I always feel that I can ask a question about something and they explain it in a manner that is welcoming.

One thing that I can wholly attest to, is that Isaiah does an amazing job at creating and enacting fun and memorable sessions throughout any of his campaigns. He establishes fun and captivating scenarios populated with various NPCs that let players interact as they please. I would go as far as to say that any player that enjoys having fun in d&d will feel right at home in one of his sessions. I would be hard-pressed to say that I've ever left a session of his unfullfiled and/or bored.

I have been playing with this GM for a year now. In that year I’ve had exciting RP opportunities for my character specifically, as well as for the others in our campaign. Our battles are engaging. The risk and reward factor is always there. His voices are unique to each of his characters. He can tell a story so that you can feel you are really there. If you feel your imagination isn’t strong enough to role-play at times, his storytelling will make up the rest. He introduced me to the amazing world of D&D and was patient with me learning the rules.

Cool voices and high energy thought the campaign. Definitely a rule of cool guy. Made custom feats for players to connect them to the story more. Lots of really fun custom encounters/puzzles/items.

As a player, I joined relatively late in a 2-3 year campaign. Isaiah was more than willing to help get me started and narratively build my character into the story. We were starting at level 18, and as a new player that felt intimidating, but he was always willing to help answer questions or make my clunky responses work well with the parties motives. Every game is exciting, and he always comes prepared. Our current group has 8 players and he somehow keeps everyone on track, while remembering individual characters personal goals/storylines. I've become a better player, and much more excited about the world of D&D. He's passionate and dedicated to D&D and the people he DM's for. 10/10
