About me
Professional 5th Edition Dungeon Master with lots of online experience. Looking to share my excitement of cinematic and tactical combat, morally ambiguous and faction based social encounters, and character driven narratives with meaningful impact on the world we play in. I run D&D for New Players and D&D Night games at my local game shop, run and play in multiple casual games online and in person every week, as well as run and play with Roll4dM; a D&D 5e actual-play podcast that my friends and I put together.
GM Style
Plotter: I spend a lot of time in prep/worldbuilding so I can focus on reactions of the world I know. Vibe Checker: I use the rules as a baseline, but encourage out of the box thinking and lean into the rule of cool. Taxi Driver: I've got an idea of where we are heading- but we've got some sight-seeing to do along the way; I love DMing for players who care about their characters- and finding where the world and the characters fit together is my favorite thing about DND. I can't wait to journey there together!

Keason is my first DM and he has helped me get the gist and understand the rules of 5e. He is very collaborative and willing to give each character time to shine and is conscious of different play styles. I’m sure he can work with anyone well.

Keason is amazing. Knows what he’s doing. Plenty of player freedoms of creativity. Sets up some of the most fun encounters I’ve played. Thanks for your time.

Keason is an amazing GM. From absolute beginner to players that have been playing for years, I'd highly recommend having him as a GM. His enthusiasm for the game is hard to beat and he is more than willing to help you learn and have fun. For any other GM I would play with I'll say that the bar has been set realllllllly high.
