About Matt

Matt here! I fell in love with tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) playing Dungeons & Dragons in 1989. I was eight years old, over at my friend's house, and their older brother ran the game. Though the game only lasted three weeks, I was hooked on the story, world-building, and absolute joy of the game. However, I couldn't find anyone to run e-games or be a Game Master. So, I accepted that role and turned as many friends I could into players, then began turning any players I could find into friends. My first love is the story and characters, and combat keeps it interesting. For a long time, a company called White Wolf made my favorite games. I ran those for years and gave up on D&D because most people I found at the time liked the rules more than the story, and I could never find people who enjoyed both. Then, Critical Role brought everyone out of the woodwork! After watching their streams along with Relics and Rarities, I started to explore D&D games again. And I couldn't be happier about this! About a year ago, I started making steps to turn my 30 years of experience and passion for D&D into a full-time, sustainable career. In one year, I found terrific players and, by the grace of God, have been able to become a full-time storyteller in the TTRPG space. See you at the table! I hope you will join the games and make amazing friends as we battle and work through fantasy life together.

How Matt runs games

Role play with character development for campaigns. Guest stars. Sandbox the world is yours is my favorite style.

Featured Prompts

Rules are...

what helps us know the game we are playing, and are meant to help us have the most fun. If they get in the way of the fun, they need to be worked with.

When it comes to voices

I try to give every NPC a unique one. I always have an upcoming character voice I'm working on.

Matt 's ideal table

My tables focus on character development and collaborative storytelling. We care deeply about the tale we are telling and the character's place in it. If you want to sit and discover a new group of friends to laugh, cry, and cheer with, then my tables are for you. I only run no-hate tables.

Critical Role

I love it when a player

introduces a new angle or beat to our story.

I think min/maxing...

is fine as long as the story, heart, and spirit of your character come first as we play.
