About me

Hi there! I’m Allen, and I’ve been running D&D 5.5e campaigns for quite a while now. I fell in love with the game’s unique ability to tell stories in such a dynamic and immersive way, which led me to dive deep into the world of TTRPG podcasts. Some of my favorites are *Worlds Beyond Number*, *NADDPOD*, and *Dimension 20*, which inspire me to craft epic adventures of my own. I’m also eager to explore other game systems like *Call of Cthulhu* and *Monster of the Week*, and I’m always looking for new ways to challenge both myself and my players. I’m most at home in my homebrew world, Primordia—a place ravaged by a massive magical explosion centuries ago. Players find themselves unearthing ancient mysteries as they navigate a world still rebuilding from the devastation. The rich history and untold stories of Primordia are at the heart of my campaigns, and I pride myself on my ability to improvise and come up with unique, engaging storylines for my players to experience. When I’m not running TTRPGs, you’ll find me enjoying baseball. My goal is to visit all 30 Major League ballparks—I’ve made it to 15 so far, and my team is the Cincinnati Reds! I’m also an avid gardener and have been working to transform my front lawn into a lush space full of native plants. It’s a project I’m passionate about, and I love watching it come to life. I can’t wait to share more of my world with you—let’s roll some dice and make some memories!

GM Style

As a Game Master, I pride myself on being a flexible and dynamic storyteller, always ready to improvise and adapt on the fly to create a memorable experience for my players. I believe in making each adventure feel larger-than-life, where my players feel like true epic heroes embarking on grand quests and uncovering mysteries that shape the fate of the world. I focus on building a narrative where every decision matters, and I make sure to tailor the story to the unique personalities and goals of my players. I’m a firm believer in the "rule of cool"—if something sounds amazing and fun, I’ll make it work! Whether it’s an unexpected plot twist, an out-of-the-box solution to a puzzle, or a daring action in the heat of combat, I’ll always lean into the excitement and let creativity take the lead. I want my players to feel empowered to explore their wildest ideas and truly own the story, knowing that the game is about fun, collaboration, and unforgettable moments. My improv skills are one of my strongest suits, allowing me to seamlessly weave player actions and world events into the ongoing narrative without skipping a beat. I thrive on the unpredictable nature of TTRPGs, and I find joy in crafting spontaneous, engaging stories that take the players by surprise while still feeling like a natural progression of their journey. Whether it’s a sudden shift in the plot or a deep, character-driven moment, I’m always ready to roll with the punches and deliver a rich, immersive experience. Ultimately, I strive to create a space where my players feel like they’re the heroes of their own legendary saga, where their choices matter, and where the world they interact with feels alive and responsive to their actions. It’s all about making epic memories and ensuring that every game session is something to look forward to!
