About me

I started playing tabletop games in 2017 and I instantly fell in love with the hobby. I was instantly drawn to the Game Master role. I ran the game for my father, who introduced me to D&D, my little brother, and my best friend. Since then just about anytime I've become friends with someone I've run at least a one shot for them, often entire campaigns. I have been running games for 7 now I have run hundreds of games for hundreds of people multiple times a week and refined my craft. I've run games for people of all walks of life. Young, old, shy, and outspoken. I've run the game for strangers, friends, family, coworkers, clients, and children. I've introduced the game to many new players and love to do so. So join my table and lets go on an adventure!

GM Style

I'm a GM committed to making sure the game is as fun for you as it can be! I love all styles of play, and can cater any campaign to the needs of any player!

Hayden is an excellent DM with a lot of experience. He devotes a lot of time and commitment to any campaigns that he is running, which says a lot considering how many campaigns he is able to manage at one time. He is extremely creative and has very well-thought-out stories, dungeons, NPCs, and honestly every aspect of the game. Hayden also connects very well with players making the mechanics of the game malleable to fit most playstyles. I have played in many games he has DM'ed over many years and I can honestly say I have created and played some of my favorite, most fleshed-out characters under Hayden's games. I would highly recommend trying him out and you won't regret it!

Hayden is a terrific gm and as a beginner he helped me through the creation process and understanding mechanics. He gave lots of great tips and works with players to bring their character ideas to life. He supplied the campaigns with great art, music and voices I highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Hayden. My game just passed it's one year mark, and I'm still just as excited to play today as I was 50+ sessions ago. His storytelling is immersive, his knowledge is vast, and his house rules keep things fun and fair. Absolutely great for beginners and seasoned veterans alike.
