About Zach

I'm 22 and from the US. I've been DMing for almost 5 years now, mostly running various one-shots and modules, including Curse of Strahd. I enjoy players who take notes, actively engage with each other and the story, and collaborate in order to enhance the experience for everyone. LGBTQ+ Friendly Open and welcoming to all

How Zach runs games

Players can expect dangerous combat with potential character death and story implications, in-depth behind the scenes discussion and collaboration behind the scenes about character and story development, and moments for character growth.

Featured Prompts

I once ran a session...

With less than 24 hours in advance to prepare after another DM became sick.

I prep by

Reading character's backstories, adding NPCs and maps, and writing down notes for the next session in a google doc

My games focus on...

Intense combat, immersive roleplay, and some comedic elements for the sake of levity and fun

Zach's ideal table

My ideal table consists of players who collaborate and cooperate with each other, working together rather as a group to tell a complete story. Ideally players are attentive, take notes, and put effort into both combat and roleplay aspects of the game.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Does something purely for flavor and the sake of roleplay in character Takes Notes Collaborates with the DM to include their backstory into the campaign itself

I think it's a red flag when players...

Don't communicate openly, try killing random shopkeepers, and don't work together.

I think min/maxing...

Is not for my table
