About me

Hello! My name is Johnny Hartwell, every since i was introduced into the wonderful world of DnD i was hooked, and it has been my life every since. I love nothing more then people getting together around a table and making wonderful memories with friends using their imaginations. I have been a forever DM and have created quite a few things of my own. I would love to be the guide, guiding you through the many mysteries that the unknown may hold. I believe in making each and every session fun and an adventure. it would be my Honor if you would allow me and my imagination to take the table on a wonderful tale of unknown destination. Bring me your backstories and watch as they unfold before your very eyes!

GM Style

I am destined to forever be a DM, I love to roll play. I also love in depth ideas that appear 25 sessions later and the mystery of the world. I am very much into lore and the backstory of the world. I follow the rules for most of the time but there is a rule of cool to a limit, i enjoy all homebrew ideas and things that your character would actually do. I love to bring your characters and their stories to life! Bring me your story and lets unravel it together! Watch the story you bring to me intertwine and connect in the campaign settings! I have created a world from 1 to 20 and love how it turns out different with each new party that traverse the world of Hytheria! Which then Changes the other season in the series as Well!

Been playing with this DM for just over a month. I have to say that Mister DM is a pretty cool DM, and I highly recommend. Rule of cool is on the table and there is always a sense of "you can surely try" when weird requests come from the player.

Sensei DM Johnny, “The purpose of a storyteller is not to tell you how to think, but to give you questions to think upon.” - Brandon Sanderson Johnny's ability to mold our characters into his homebrewed world, filled to the brim with exceptional, seemingly never ending lore, is Matt Mercer level genius. It is a priveledge and an honor to play in the brain scape that is Hytheria! You will not be disappointed, hit em up and join the group discord! Lets get cookin!
