About World of Toad Gaming

Back in the vibrant days of the late 70s, when long hair and bell bottoms ruled, a young adventurer stumbled upon a box of Dungeons & Dragons books. The enchantment of role-playing ignited his imagination, and ever since, his free time has been filled with Mountain Dew, Cheetos, and endless creativity. Come join me for some fun collaborative storytelling where we can dive into adventures, mysteries, horror, and all kinds of intrigue together!

World of Toad Gaming's ideal table

I delight in the captivating art of communal storytelling, where imagination intertwines with shared experiences. For me, the essence of the game goes beyond logistics and character sheet fumbling; it's about weaving a compelling narrative together. I often open players’ character sheets, revealing their potential like hidden treasures. “Roll a perception check,” I say, my voice charged with anticipation. As the dice dance to a stop, I remind them of their first-level spell, waiting to be used. “All I have is a Sleep Spell,” the player replies, a hint of confusion in their voice. I pause, my mind swirling with possibilities. “Hmmmmmm,” I muse, envisioning the countless ways the story could unfold.
