About me
Greetings Adventurers! Are you looking for your queer, D&D safe space where we play dress up and roleplay together? Look no further! I have been playing D&D (dungeons and dragons) since the mid-90s! I specialize in D&D5e but I started with AD&D (2nd Edition) and have played every edition since. I am an actor, reader, cinephile and PC gamer, I have also been something of an Adventurer in real life (actual pirate, vagabond, woodsman, navy sailor), and draw on all of these experiences for my games. Now, after my adventures, I am settling down and building a homestead with my lovely spouse, where we plan to host D&D camping retreats (weeks, weekends). So not only is being a professional DM a dream come true, but it will help me to support my spouse and our... dog, 2 cats, 2 chickens, 3 goats, 6 rabbits and really bring our homestead to life. I have A LOT of games listed; But if there's a different day/time that would work better for you, I'm open to trying to make that work. Otherwise, if you have any questions, please send me a message or join my discord! (greenmtngm) Hope to see you at the table!
GM Style
When I find out what makes you shine, we'll lean into it! But in general I run "reactive sandboxes" based on the player characters. Players can follow world events or ignore them and pursue personal goals while the world continues on its own, but as player power grows, their actions are more likely to bring world events to them! Combat š¹ šššš (significant, challenging, game changing) Roleplay š ššššš (immersive, dynamic, diverse) Exploration š§ ššš (engaging, cinematic, awe-inspiring) Puzzles š§© šš (challenge by choice, mysterious) āļø Got a cool idea or a special consideration? Let me know! š¤ Players are partners in storytelling š You shape the world with your choices and actions š¤ Feedback encouraged and incorporated to improve user experience --- How I Help Players Learn Systems --- - A WELCOMING ATTITUDE: I do my best to create a welcoming environment for anyone attempting to learn. This includes Session 0/on-boarding, respecting Lines & Veils (content boundaries), and encouraging questions. -TEACHING EXPERIENCE: I have taught people of all ages how to traditional sailor skills and how to sail. Including communication, teamwork, tasks requiring large groups and fine handiwork. I teach new and complicated board games to my friends on a regular basis (more complicated than D&D for sure). -CHARACTER CREATION HELP: I plan on most of character creation happening at session 0, but happy to coordinate with anyone that wants more guidance. -PREGENERATED CHARACTERS: I have pre-gen characters of every class all the way up to level 10 available for use. -CHEAT SHEETS: I have cheat sheets available for combat, and can break down any part of the game that needs more explanation. -ATTENDANCE: I know life can be messy. So I try to accommodate unexpected happenings. š« If quorum for a session is not reached, no charge. (most games this will be 2 or 3 players) š If I cancel, due to something in my life, I grant each player a free session. š If you let me know the day before a session, no charge. But more than twice in a row, or frequent misses and we'll talk about finding a different day or time for you to join a different session. š“ You get 1 free no-call-no-show. 2nd time, you'll be charged. 3rd time, you'll be uninvited- for everyone's sake! I don't want to keep everyone on tenterhooks, to see if a session is going to happen! And I don't want you to have the pressure to show up, if you're unable to make it work right now.

I recently joined one of Green GM games, and it's been genuinely impressive. As someone with extensive experience as a GM myself, I truly appreciate their ability to create an incredibly welcoming, inclusive, and comfortable environment for all players. Their emphasis on collaborative storytelling and roleplay brings each character vividly to life. The GM's extensive experience clearly shows in their smooth game managementācombat encounters felt challenging and meaningful, roleplay moments were immersive and dynamic, and exploration was consistently intriguing and visually compelling. They're attentive and adaptive, genuinely invested in ensuring every player feels engaged and valued. I also admired their thoughtful approach to supporting players at various experience levels. The availability of cheat sheets, pre-generated characters, and their approachable manner would make new players feel at ease, while experienced players can confidently dive into deeper layers of gameplay. Overall, sessions with Green GM have quickly become a highlight of my week, perfectly balancing fun and compelling narrative elements. If you're seeking a campaign that feels both exciting and inclusive, I highly recommend them!

Very Fair and openminded. Very accommodating even if the game is running long. I would definitely play his game again.

Adam ran a one shot dungeon adventure for my wife, myself and one of our friends. We had never played a tabletop role playing game before, and had an absolute blast. Adam encouraged us to be creative with our characters and truly helped guide all of us noobs in how to engage in combat and whatnot. After experiencing this game under his directions I was excited to try more. Over the last year we have played about half a dozen different games together. His quick wit and almost encyclopedic knowledge of the rules has made him a joyful challenge to play against and a pleasure to play with. I would highly recommend Adam for teaching or mastering any game.

I have been playing in GM Adam's games for the last few years. He has built an expansive and deeply complicated world for us to explore. Even after spending nearly 5 years exploring, it feels like we have barely scratched the surface. I have also found Adam to be extremely accommodating to players needs/wants, really tailoring his game for the experience the players are looking for. He is also very open and ready to dialogue about any aspect of the game and his GMing. I think this sort of openness and willingness to collaborate are extremely important qualities in a Game Master that are often overlooked.

Adam is a great GM, and has been running our campaign for over 4 years. His world building is impressive, puzzles are intriguing and fun, and he goes with the flow of the players, keeping it organic and rarely railroading (when he does, we need it!). He routinely solicits feedback for future improvement and seeks to engage the interests of various players/characters throughout the campaign. I highly recommend Adam for anyone interested in starting a game!
