About Green Mountain GM ⛰️🏕️

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!

How Green Mountain GM ⛰️🏕️ runs games

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 🏹 🌟🌟🌟🌟 (significant, challenging, game changing) Roleplay 🎭 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (immersive, dynamic, diverse) Exploration 🧭 🌟🌟🌟 (engaging, cinematic, awe-inspiring) Puzzles 🧩 🌟🌟 (challenge by choice, mysterious) ⚙️ Got a cool idea or a special consideration? Let me know! 🤝 Players are partners in storytelling 📖 You shape the world with your choices and actions 🤔 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. 🫂 If quorum for a session is not reached, no charge. (most games this will be 2 or 3 players) 🚑 If I cancel, due to something in my life, I grant each player a free session. 📅 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. 😴 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.
