About me
I make the first session free for everyone at my table—whether it’s session zero or you jump in at session 30. I do that because I know what I’m doing. I know the experience I provide, and I’m confident in my ability to give every player a good time. I’ve been DMing for over 20 years. I’ve told stories around kitchen tables, in Discord servers, and everywhere in between. I care about giving players real choices, strong character moments, and games that feel like they matter. You don’t need to know every rule or have the perfect backstory—I’ll meet you where you are. My job is to make sure you’re having fun, your character gets their moments, and the world reacts to what you do.
GM Style
I run games that are a mix of roleplay, combat, and exploration. I don’t overcomplicate things, but I keep the stakes real. Actions have consequences. NPCs have personality. Encounters are fast and tactical, but never a grind. My tone adjusts to the players—gritty when it needs to be, light when it fits. I build around your choices and lean into the stuff you care about. You’ll never feel like a background character at my table.

Played 5 sessions
DM Kayden runs an immersive game with vivid descriptions to create a compelling story, while also encouraging player agency with choices that matter. I’ve played in hundreds of online D&D 5e sessions, and this was the most enjoyable game I’ve had in years. Highly recommended!

Kayden has to be one of the most organized but at the same time chill DMs I have gotten a chance to play with. He is very funny and will go along with a lot of the jokes and whimsy of the group. He also flexible giving the party time to fixiate on weird things despite it not being the main point of that area. The way he also allows you to reflavor mechanics (while mantaining the same function…The Bees!!) that add more fun but also makes the experience unique for everyone while not need to shine the spotlight solely on each person. If you are on the fence about Joining one of his game don’t be you will not regret joining one of his games and maybe we’ll see each other there cause I know I will be back!

Amazing Dungeon Master, Dude provides great settings and visuals and provides fantastic Monsters/Enemies to fight.
HarshFlamingo
Great game, great voices. Amazing group overall which helps, but Kayden really made the game shine. We had some crazy good moments and the game was very fun. Kayden rolled with the punches and we managed to defeat the bad guy. Good times. I do recommend Kayden as your DM for sure.

Kayden really knows how to set up a scenario and give the players room to find their own solutions. He's all about the creativity and collaboration that makes ttrpgs so fun and memorable. He also cares a lot about immersion and knows how to set a tone with music and descriptions to pull everyone into the game world. If you're looking for someone who will draw you in, give you a memorable challenge, and cheer when you overcome it this is your guy!
