About Michael
I always wanted to play D&D as a kid and could never get a group together much less find a DM so I would like to help alleviate a big chunk of that stress by DMing for you. I have been DMing for D&D 5e for 8 years and playing for 10 years. The system I use for my setting and campaigns is D&D 5e 2024.

I got started GMing...
My friend group was playing D&D and the players all said the current GM was "too strict". I jokingly offered to run a campaign and the next thing I knew I was making a homebrewed world and running the party through an undead/demon level 1 - 20 campaign. I've been a die-hard GM since.
My favorite shows/movies are
One Piece Kaiju #8 Solo Leveling Dan Da Dan The Nightmare Before Christmas Deadpool 1,2,3
When I'm not running games I'm...
Working on my homebrewed world/setting. Working on my own TTRPG project. Prepping for upcoming D&D sessions. Playing games on Steam. Anime is almost always on my 2nd monitor.
How Michael runs games
I have a 65/35 split between combat/RP Rule of Cool or thinking outside the box is the way i like to run my table.
Featured Prompts
I deal with rules issues by...
Making a call on the spot then deciding at the end of the session what the official ruling will be from then on.
My games focus on...
Difficult combat. I push the party to its limits and reward them equally.
When it comes to voices
I am no professional by any means but I do give key NPCs voices.
Michael's ideal table
my table tends to be laid-back and light-hearted while knowing when its time to be serious. I have no problems with jokes, drinking, smoking, or anything else at the table within reason. #1 rule at the table is "Don't make me make a rule".

I love it when a player
is creative with their abilities or spells. thinking outside the box and keeping me on my toes.
I think metagaming...
is cheating. One of the main reasons I homebrew a lot of creatures.
My table is not the place for...
Joke characters or characters that are actively trying to be annoying. They have a place but that place is not in my campaigns.
