About me
I've always been a creative writer and DM and love bringing new people into the fray. Showcasing and growing my love for storytelling and playing Dungeons and Dragons is my way of giving back to the people and games that have had such a magnificent and beautiful impact on my life. I want to share this storytelling experience with others and provide magical moments for both them as players and myself as a DM. My campaign is not one for the weak-hearted. There will be challenges, excitement, and strife. There will be battles for your very lives, or for those more clever, an opportunity to outwit. I am a fair adjudicator for a semi-homebrew world I've grown to know well. My personal background has included playing D&D for over 15 years and DMing for roughly 11. I use voices for various NPCs and Foundry or Roll20 as a Virtual Table Top as well as DnDBeyond for content and character sheets for my campaigns. I even have a varied playlist for background music depending on the situation. I push my players to RP to the best of their ability and provide immersion into the world.
GM Style
I pride myself on being an adaptive and flexible DM. It really depends on what kind of players I take on. It's all about balancing the 3 pillars of DnD to the party's liking. Role play, exploration and combat. RP- I wont push too hard, but RP is 2/3 of RPG, so it is somewhat important and I am a firm believer that once immersion begins to grow and the jitters are out of the way, the game becomes so much more. I like to run challenging campaigns that fully pull players into connecting with their characters. This includes developing tie-ins to backstories and opportunities for character development.The game, in the end, will be what the players put into it. Exploration- I have used the basis of existing worlds from D&D and meshed them into a semi-homebrew world with its own magical history. I use Theatre of the Mind and some images as support for most of the campaign and Foundry VTT for combat and some dungeon crawling / exploration. I can prepare a spread of maps and have them ready depending on where the players decide to go. Included is dynamic lighting, which gives each player their own individual FOV to the battlefield. Combat- If you've never used a VTT before, you are missing out. With character sheet integration, each roll is just a click away. This helps with encounter pacing immensely giving each player more time to interact with the world. Rules and modifications are set during Session 0, a safe space where players and DM get together to determine the type of game they'd like to play and what guidelines and limitations the game and story should have. Warning: I do not tolerate trolls or munchkins at my tables. If I find you being one, you'll be confronted privately and asked to correct your behavior. Failure to do so will mean removal from the game.
