About me

I got into D&D back in the days of the panic But my love for the game waned as I switched to the advent of the TRS 80 and atari. Truly these were the pinnacles of the gaming experience. After many years spent int wilderness of online gaming I was brought back to my love of storytelling in 2020 during the years of the SpellPlaque. With the popularity of VUTT I found a new way to play an experience a game that I had thought lost in time. Now I play an DM to enjoy the friends we make along the way and to decrythe common enemies we find My games are intended for 18= but a tame 18+ wherw we show one another respect and kindness before committing war crimes on the goblin commoners. D&D is a game for players and my role as DM is merely to guide you long your path. We will be using Discord for Voice communication and Roll20 with D&D Beyond for character sheets. The DM experience is new to me but we are here to have fun. That is the main aim of the game. I have all of the sourcebooks available from D&DBeyond (DDB). I have these items on Roll20 right now and plan on expanding there. Lost mines of Phandelver, Deluxe Essential's Kit including: Storm Lord's Wrath, Sleeping Dragon's Wake, Divine Contention, and Dragons of Icespire Pike, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, Tales from the Yawning Portal, Storm King's Thunder, Waterdeep: Dragonheist, Waterdeep: Mad Mage, Candlekeep Mysteries, Ghosts of Salt Marsh, Tyranny of Dragons (Includes RIse of Tiamat and Hoard of the Dragon Queen), and Critical Role: Call of the Netherdeep and Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen! Please sign up for games within a 24 hours before a start date to give me time to prep introducing you. If you are a new group! I can certainly run a one shot of the Starter Campaign for you. I am also partial to adding Dragonheist and soon Dragonlance to my repertoire of paid games. Normally I do not do sessions for groups unless they are looking to run modules such as Lost Mine of Phandelver or Dragon of Icepspire peak or a preplanned one shot maybe specifically for the group.

GM style

You will need accounts on roll20, D&D Beyond and Discord as well as the Beyond20 add for Firefox/Chrome browser, A working mic is also essential as we will use Discord for chat! I prefer a mix of role play and combat, Combat (and character death) can occur at any moment and clues can be left in the most innocuous of places. I like to provide a solid back story to what is going on and giving the group some leeway as to where this adventure may lay. Will they want to find the lair of the gold hoarding beast or gather knowledge about the missing children to the south? Please allow other players to play their characters as they choose. Especially with new players as it can be intimidating. Some of my favorite moments as a player were learning how some of the game mechanics work and I find most players will ask if they have a question. Encouraging creative play is a big part of my table!
