About me

Hi! Hello! and Welcome! I am the owner of Brisbane Business, Hermes D&D Services, which is a OneStopShot for Dungeons and Dragons. We've recently been expanding into online sessions when I found this amazing website! Virtually all content my players experience is Homebrew Stories where I try to make it as unique and immersive as possible. This coupled with my background in teacher-aiding means I am comfortable with those who've played D&D for decades OR those who are completely new to it and need some training wheels. Id always worked in sales for 15+ year prior this business and enjoyed the person to person interaction but always felt something was... with some personal things going on I decided to leap for it and begin Dungeon Mastering as my fulltime job. In my very first paid session I realised this was what I was made to do, bring others joy and entertainment. So without further ado I hope to see you in my game!!!

GM Style

I try to bring all facets of Dungeons and Dragons into play; roleplay, character voices, weather, multiple ways to solve something, YES AND rule. But my main areas would include: -Foreshadowing Roleplay -Traps/Surprises -Realistic Combat with creatures acting how they would in lore -Interactive Combat Maps

I had such an amazing experience for the One Shot that I was involved in with Hermes D&D services, I was supported the whole way through to have everything explained to me. Even on the day Christian made sure to explain everything thoroughly before and during the session, having a phone call before the session to set up my character and explain some rules. I couldn't recommend Hermes D&D more!! 😊 Can't wait to play again and get the Hermes experience!!

Christian creates excellent homebrew worlds and stories that don't take away from the traditional experience of D&D. The best part is that the games are inclusive and work for any experience level. He is allowing for a story progression that gives players understanding of the world and rules as well as time to make decisions and not end up railroaded into bad or beginner mistakes. If you are getting started, want a fun DM for your game, or really just want to be immersed in some creative and unique worlds, choose Hermesdnd.

Was the GM for my first game ever! Great first game I was nervous but they made me feel comfortable and helped me understand the game and encouraged creativity. Great experience!

I wanted to select all the tags, as they all apply, but it only let me choose 3. Great DM, 100% recommend.

Christian really knows how to make every encounter interesting and really understands the deeper mechanics of D&D in a way that allows for more emmersive and creative gameplay. He is also very helpful and understanding.
