About Kieron
I have been playing tabletop RPGs and board games since the early 1980s. Over the years I’ve played and run many systems including Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, FFG Star Wars, and a variety of independent RPGs. I enjoy both playing and Game Mastering, and I currently run several ongoing campaigns. As a DM I focus on immersive storytelling, memorable characters, and player choice. I am a freelance illustrator by profession. It was my interest in RPGs that led me to become an illustrator for them and also board games.

How Kieron runs games
I’ve run long-term D&D campaigns for years, including games that reached high-level play. My focus is on immersive adventures where player choices shape the story. I incorporate memorable NPCs, tactical combat, and meaningful choices. I give all players at my table the chance to shine. I create session that they all look forward to playing. I run fair, well-paced games using rules as written as a foundation, with flexibility for creative play and the occasional rule of cool. Players consistently highlight my preparation, storytelling, and visual presentation in their reviews. As an artist, I bring custom maps, artwork, and handouts to make the world feel vivid and alive.

I prep by
I prep by building the session’s encounters, NPCs, and story beats, and gathering visuals and maps to bring the world to life. I aim to know the material well so the game flows smoothly while still leaving room for player choices and improvisation.
My games focus on...
My games focus on immersive storytelling, meaningful choices, and memorable characters. I enjoy building worlds that feel alive, where player decisions matter and adventure, mystery, and danger are always around the corner.
Rules are...
Rules are important and keep the game fair, but I also value game flow. If a rule is unclear during play, I’ll make a quick, reasonable ruling so the game continues. After the session I’ll check the rule and clarify it for the group next time.
Kieron's ideal table
My table is friendly, welcoming, and collaborative. I enjoy players who engage with the story, interact with NPCs, and work together as a party. Roleplay and creative problem-solving are encouraged, while tactical combat and classic adventure remain part of the experience. I genuinely enjoy seeing players succeed and celebrate those moments with them. Respect for fellow players is essential, and the goal is for everyone to have fun while creating a memorable story together. If this sounds like the kind of adventure you enjoy, I’d love to have you join the table.
