About Gnomes

Hey there, I'm Gnomes, and I'm super stoked you're checking out my page! I've been a DM for several years now, and honestly, it's one of my absolute favorite things to do. There's just something magical about bringing a world to life and seeing players dive into the adventure. While I definitely believe in the importance of the rules to provide structure, I also think the best D&D moments come from letting your imagination run wild. So, expect a game where the rules serve the story, not the other way around. For me, telling a good, engaging story is key, and I love weaving narratives that will keep you on the edge of your seat and maybe even tug at your heartstrings a little. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or brand new to the world of tabletop roleplaying, I'm always happy to have you at my table. I genuinely enjoy teaching the ropes and helping new players discover the joy of D&D. So, if you're looking for a fun, collaborative, and story-driven experience, let's roll some dice together!

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I wanted to explore more stories! I loved (and still love) being a player, but I wanted more and I started getting ideas! That's how it started...now look at me! :)

My favorite shows/movies are

Leverage Psych Monk Bones Phineas and Ferb **Wednesday** Star Wars Indiana Jones Princess Bride Emperor's New Groove

When I'm not running games I'm...

Probably writing RP for my characters! Or reading stuff about D&D, playing music (piano), playing other games (like Hearthstone and Mysterium)!

How Gnomes runs games

I love roleplaying, weaving narratives and just having fun. Death defying escapes and magical mysteries are great! A laid back atmosphere, even in darker scenarios is something I enjoy, and I love incorporating character backstories into the overall story. At the end of the day, we should all be having fun! That is, after all, why we're here!

Featured Prompts

I deal with rules issues by...

Trying to find an answer quickly if I can, and if not, I make a ruling to the best of my ability and then research it later. If adjustments need to be made going forward I let everyone know after looking into it!

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Peter Jackson Guillermo del Toro Denis Villeneuve Just depending on the exact story I'm doing at the moment!

My favorite trope is...

...friends (or enemies!) to lovers can be a lot of fun! ...the ones that are turned on their head OR played into hard!

Gnomes's ideal table

My table tends to be very casual most of the time, and serious when it is time to be serious. We make jokes and media references regularly ("Llama!? He's supposed to be dead!") before jumping back into the action. Respect though is very important, both to fellow players, to the GM, and to the story. Lone wolves, argumentative and rules lawyers are not going to be a good fit, or anyone who is overly serious all the time.
