About De Townshend

Love collaborative storytelling, adventure, fun, both silly and serious play. 10+ yrs running multiple weekly games as a DM, along with 7+ yrs as a player in weekly games. Have run for ages 7-70; love personalizing content and narratives for my players so that everyone gets a unique and customized experience. Fan of Critical Role, MCDM, Angry GM, LazyDM/SlyFlourish, DungeonDudes, Kobold Press, and Nord Games. Previous (and current) campaigns include: Dungeons of Drakkenheim, Rise of the Runelords (Pathfinder and homebrewed for 5e), Curse of the Crimson Throne (Pathfinder), Dragon of Icespire Peak, Lost Mines of Phandelver, Tyranny of Dragons, and homebrew content.

How De Townshend runs games

Lots of lore, interaction, and customized narratives; good mix of role-play and combat. Both VTT and theater-of-the-mind combat. I tend to go with spirit of the rules over rules as written, and love when players come up with interesting and creative ways to do things and solve problems. Safe environment for all; I want you to be completely comfortable during sessions. This means I will not allow homophobia, racism, ableism, transphobia, hate speech, or harassment. I usually don't use a lot of voices or auditory effects, but focus on vast and detailed worldbuilding with and for my players.
