About Wayne

Hey there! I'm a Game Master and Tabletop Game Designer based in Kansas City with over fifteen years of experience bringing stories to life for all kinds of people. My games are focused on 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons and are text-based on Discord. I love using Alchemy and Beyond maps to make things even more immersive. I’ve got a Master Tier subscription and access to all content on DnDBeyond, so you’ll have everything you need to dive into your adventure. I enjoy crafting narrative-focused, player-driven experiences and am here to help you tell your character’s story in an open-world environment. **Why text-based?** I run text-based games due to their flexibility and accessibility. They allow participants to engage at their own pace, making them ideal for players with busy schedules or intermittent activities who cannot commit to a standard sit-down session. The nature of text-based communication caters to players with speech impediments, hearing loss, blindness, and neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and Autism. For neurodivergent players, the format allows for more control over the timing and environment in which they engage, reducing stress and sensory overload that can occur in traditional sessions. Text-based gameplay can also be adapted with assistive technologies such as screen readers, and players have the opportunity to carefully craft their responses, ensuring they can fully express their characters and thoughts. As a DM who experiences partial deafness and neurodivergence, I feel inclined to create an inclusive environment in which everyone can participate and experience the magic of tabletop storytelling. **What about Voice and In-Person games?** Yes! I do run voice-chat-based and in-person games. I'm more than happy to accommodate campaigns, tables, and players who prefer this option. If you are interested in booking a game in one of these formats, please explore the "request booking" button on my profile or shoot me a message either here or on Discord.
