About me

Greetings, adventurers! I’m Luki, and I’ve been a DM on-and-off for about 2 years now, with roughly 4 years of total experience in D&D 5e as both a player and a DM. For better or for worse, I am also what they would call a "theater kid." I grew up with a passion for writing and cinema, and those early influences still continue to inspire the worlds and games I run today. My biggest influences, both in the past and even now, are the LotR series and The Princess Bride (one of the greatest pieces of fantasy media of all time, but I digress). I’m currently running two weekly home campaigns. My main campaign recently celebrated its 6-month milestone, with the group comprised of random people from /r/LFG. My second campaign has just kicked off as a sequel to a 1.5-year-long campaign with the same party. The best part about being a DM is watching you and your characters grow closer and seeing everyone's actions and reactions to the world and the story that we create together. I place a strong emphasis on organic roleplay and natural character development as you explore living, breathing worlds. If you’re a player who craves rich lore, deep roleplay, and isn’t afraid to get a little goofy when the moment calls for it, you’ll fit right in at our table!!

GM Style

In my games, there are two things that take priority over everything else: storytelling and, most importantly, fun. We follow RAW as close as possible, but if anything gets in the way of your fun as a player, we adapt on the fly with a compromise that makes sure everyone is having a good time. I love creating worlds that feel like they're alive. NPCs have their own stories, each location has deep lore and rich backstory, and your choices have real weight within the world you live in. Roleplay is a huge focus in all of my games, and I will always encourage players to immerse themselves in their characters (the more backstory you give me, the better). Some of the best moments in all of my campaigns have stemmed from pure improv and roleplay, whether it's through character interactions, moral dilemmas and choices, or even just goofing off in character. My campaigns are usually fun and lighthearted, with many goofy moments throughout, but that doesn't mean there aren't serious moments. There will be times where you'll have to face difficult choices, experience intense character-and-moment-driven drama, and encounter dilemmas that challenge yours and your party's ideals. I love stories that balance "the funnies" with emotional depth, and making sure that every single moment feels like it was earned. When it comes to combat, I enjoy giving the players a challenge. That doesn't mean throwing overtuned creatures or hordes upon hordes at the party. I encourage tactical play and planning as, more often than not, my combat are more than just simple hack-and-slashes. I design every encounter, combat or not, to feel meaningful and serve a greater purpose, with plenty of moments to do or say things in character. Above all, I want my table to be a safe space where you, as players, can get invested in the world and your characters. Whether you're a veteran or a new player, I try as hard as possible to give you an engaging, immersive, and overall collaborative experience where everyone has a chance in the spotlight.
