About me

I've been gaming since I was in 6th grade (I'm 47 now) and I have had a passion for building the imagination of my friends and family by sculpting RP intensive games with meaningful combat thrown in. I will not allow the players to win, the dice are the true equalizer. I've been LARPing and Cosplaying for over 20 years (more LARP) as both a player and Staff, I know what it takes to make an engaging story. You can see some of my exploits on YouTube, just search Ogre Fight. :) I'm looking to start DMing for people, veteran or novice, using the D&D 5E system and on line using discord and Roll20 or another platform. I will limit myself to 2 new groups, 3-5 players starting at level 2. We will use the milestone method for leveling and you have options for character creation. All character will be reviewed by me before being allowed into the game. If you interested please

GM Style

I will do voices for NPCs, I will ALWAYS encourage RP, and the combat will make you think and use tactics! There are no guarantee that you will "win" but you will have fiun!

GM did a good job getting setting and matching characters with world. Very open to player direction and ideas while still having a bigger narrative to engage with.

From my one experience, I would say that this is a DM who can hit that sweet spot between bringing a rich world to be explored and making space for players to just enjoy being their characters, come what may. A skill that I know involves the twin abilities of coming with pages of story potential and of throwing it out the window when the players have found their peak fun back in the tavern.

The first real game of DnD for me. I had a lot of fun and didn't feel out of depth or left out of the loop. Brandon was patient and accommodating, he even succinctly explained to me how some features of DnD Beyond work. I would join another campaign with him as a DM.
