About me
Hello my friends. I have 7 years of DM experience with over a decade of TTRPG experience. My games are unique and tailored to my players. RP and character work are things that I truly enjoy collaborating with and feature heavily in my games. I am very well versed in D&D 5th Edition and will continue to expand my knowledge of other systems as my time on this platform goes. Weaving character backstory into my world and having it come to life for my players is the ultimate goal. Serious talk, D&D is my passion. I love this game and the stories we get to tell with our friends. These memories are saved in our minds not as digital maps and discord channels, but as sword and spell, as flesh and blood memories of victory. That is why I play D&D. That is why I DM. Now, roll initiative.
GM Style
I am a homebrew DM at heart and would love to work on something special for you and a group of friends. I also am able to work with just about whatever module you would be interested in. My games generally run RAW but I have been known to often lean toward the “Rule of Cool”. But do not be fooled my friends, I enjoy challenging and balanced combat just as much as roleplay. Also feel free to talk about whatever homebrew madness you wanna bring to the table. Let’s have fun with it. Break stuff.

This dude never ceases to amaze me! Not only does he do an excellent job of making it feel like you are part of the world while you are playing, he is also extremely helpful behind the scenes. Me, my wife, and 2 of our kids are all in his campaign, and he has been amazing about answering any questions we have had with character creation, back stories, and pretty much anything we have asked!

Friendly and constructive DM. Very open to rule of cool and encouraging player creativity. Very into RP and creating a lived in breathing world. I’ve tried 3 different DM’s from this site and this is the one I stuck with. Honestly highly recommended.

Oh man. Everything from first to last. I never walk away from a session disappointed. If you play his games, you are getting a hell of a deal for the price.

Helix is great at immersing you in the moment and what's around you. Very descriptive and timed well, he paints a picture. He is super friendly and is open to how you want to play your character and does a great job of incorporating you and your backstory into the work. My games with him so far have had a good balance of RP and combat. Just good stuff. Having watched Critical Role, it is very similar.

I've been playing for 4 years and I've had some great dms, some pretty bad dms and everywhere in between. Helix is definitely in the great category. He had a beautiful balance of rules as written while still allowing a buffer for player creativity and rule of cool. He was exceptional at jiving with the chaoticness of the party's tomfoolery and still being able to get them back on track. Really interesting RP and some solid fun combat. Absolutely high recommend.
