About Kade

Father, husband, nerd—and most importantly, Game Master. I primarily run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns with a strong focus on narrative and character-driven choices. My tables are cinematic and tend to have a healthy dose of roleplay and exploration, with meaningful combat that matters to the story. You can also expect plenty of terrible accents—delivered almost exclusively by me.

... usually playing video games - or being a husband/father.

How Kade runs games

I lean heavily into roleplay and improvisation, while maintaining a cohesive narrative. I enjoy letting scenes breathe and giving players time to explore their characters, relationships, and choices. Combat encounters are purposeful and tied to the story, while roleplay and exploration drive the heart of the game. I take a flexible approach to the rules. When questions or disagreements come up, we discuss them openly at the table, and I make a final ruling to keep the game moving smoothly and fairly. I especially enjoy running games for newer players. I’m happy to provide as much guidance as needed, whether that’s help with learning the rules, understanding character options, or getting comfortable with roleplay. No one is expected to be an expert — curiosity and engagement matter more than system mastery. Player agency is important to me. You’re free to approach situations creatively and even stray from the module, with the understanding that heavily improvised paths may feel a little less polished than prepared content. I use Session Zero along with other tools to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable at the table. At the table, I aim to share the spotlight evenly and ask players to be present and engaged during each other’s moments. I encourage minimal distractions and try to recreate a pen-and-paper D&D experience as much as possible. I do voice my NPCs (with varying levels of success!), but players are never expected to do voices themselves. Players often describe my style as creative, patient, and attentive, with a strong focus on making choices feel meaningful. My games are a great fit for explorers and roleplayers who enjoy thoughtful storytelling and collaborative play.
