About me
As a fantasy driven dreamer I love world building and story creation. I have DM’d dungeons and dragons 5e for 8 years. I hav r two unique worlds and everything for full campaign storylines to mini adventures set within the worlds. My sessions challenge players to make the tough decisions when sometimes there is no right answer. Come have fun becoming whoever and whatever you want to be. I am also willing to custom create any anime, movie, book storyline sessions similar to the original but unique enough to stand on its own two feet.
GM Style
In my games players can be expected to make tough in-game decisions. Players can also expect a fairly even mix of roleplaying and combat depending on the type of adventure. I will do character voices and have a limited number of good ones, but I’m no Matt Mercer!

I've played in alot of different campaigns, several with Matt, and to date he is by far the best GM I've had! He's incredibly creative in his world building and story telling, and has a really satisfying mix of combat and roleplay. He definitely knows what he's doing, but is also a great GM for beginners, and doesn't intimidate or overwhelm new players. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I appreciate that he's also super inclusive and open in the direction that player characters take the story lines, and includes LGBTQ+ NPCs, and a safe space for queer players and player characters. He's by far the most dedicated GM I've had the pleasure of playing with, and as someone who has also worked on art for his campaigns with him, I've seen firsthand how many hours he puts into his campaigns behind the scenes! I always look forward to starting a new campaign with Matt, he's excellent for new and experienced players alike.

I’ve played in several campaigns DM’d by Matt over the years. Mostly in his homebrew world(s), but once based off of a popular anime. :) I love the intricacies of his NPCs and the intrigue created by his own faction system. As a DM, he caters to the whim of the players no matter their play style. If you like to be a fantasy badass, you will become a fantasy badass. You want to have a tragic backstory, he will stick a knife where you point (ok, maybe not that dramatic lol.) Anyway, he’s a great DM as well as a cool family man of both furry and non-furry children.

Matt has a unique talent for creating lifelong players out of tabletop rookies. His collaborative worldbuilding, both in-game and out-of-character, make for memorable experiences for everyone at the table. He encourages player choice, tempered by in-world consequences.
Alex
Matt is great at creating detailed worlds and fun storylines while allowing for player creativity. I’ve played many campaigns with him and he help me develop my character and walk me through the process when I first started. He knows the rules but also doesn’t take himself too seriously. I would play with him as a GM again and again.
James
I’ve played with Mat and DM for 2-3 years. Both in person and then online (thanks COVID). He keeps the same feel of an in person game online. Only thing I miss is my personal minis!
