About me

Header art by Xy https://twitter.com/xylavie Howdy there! I am a professional actor with experience in both voice-over as well as musical theatre! My hobbies outside of ttrpgs include video games, and singing. I've completed 7 campaigns (three modules and four level 1-20 campaigns), ran 600+ sessions online and in person, and I have 6,000+ hours on Roll20 since 2018. A taste of my voice acting range: https://www.kevincouto.com/ A feel of my tables: https://youtu.be/_zBgfGHD35w My Stream Clone Wars Campaign: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnhAe1iC6P5AaXONG1s_6BQY6QVW2vC2F I started playing tabletops with D&D around late 2017 and fell in love with it. As time has gone on, I've learned my way around more systems and my friends were encouraging me to dive into DMing for them, and here we are now! I currently run a Star Wars 5e stream campaign set during the Clone Wars called "Revenge of the Crit" that's over 80 episodes and counting. My favorite thing about DMing is being able to collaborate and come up with a compelling and fun story with a variety of players. It's also a great outlet for me to practice all these voices and storytelling. I am all about making a campaign experience not only suited for the group but will also leave everyone satisfied. Most of my experience running and playing is with either D&D 5e or Star Wars 5e so either of those systems would be the systems I use for the games I offer. I look forward to sharing memories with you at the table! ❤️

Friendly community, and friendlier DM. Adds grand excitement to any session with amazing energy that can't help but amp you up. Kevin is patient with new players or returning players who haven't played DnD in a while. Highley recommend Kevin if you're looking for a place to drop-in or to return to.
