About me
Hey, I’m Leland (he/they), a forever DM who’s been telling exciting stories with dice since the early 2000s. I’ve been running TTRPGs for over 20 years now, & I’m still obsessed with them. Whether it’s a haunted ruin, a chaotic tavern brawl, or a moment of quiet between characters, I’m here for the drama, the laughter, the found family energy, & the weird magic that happens when people build something together. When you join one of my games, expect: -Strong roleplay vibes (yes, even the voices) -Worldbuilding that reacts to you -Mechanics that support story, not get in the way -A chill, inclusive table where new folks are just as welcome as seasoned players I run everything from cozy slice-of-life adventures to grim eldritch horror—sometimes in the same session. If you like character-driven plots, a bit of chaos, & a lot of heart, you’ll probably fit right in. TL;DR: You bring the character, I’ll bring the vibes. Let’s tell a story we’ll still be thinking about a year from now.
GM Style
📖 Depth of Storytelling – I’m all about crafting immersive narratives that pull you in from the first roll & keep you hooked ‘til the last scene. Big drama. Weird twists. Real stakes. 🎭 Character-Driven – I love building characters that feel real—flawed, fun, layered. They stick with you long after the session ends. ✨ Custom Content – Whether it’s a published module or something totally homebrew, I’m always tweaking things to spotlight your characters & make the world feel yours. 🌍 Collaborative Worldbuilding – Your backstory? It matters. Your ideas? They shape the world. We build this story together. 🤝 Inclusivity First – My tables are safe, welcoming, & built for everyone—no matter your background or experience. Everyone deserves a seat & a voice. 🎙 Voice Work for Days – With 20+ years of amateur voice acting, I bring the NPCs to life—accents, weird vibes, heartfelt moments—you’ll remember ‘em. 🌟 Spotlight for Everyone – I make sure every player gets their moment to shine. Big hero moves or quiet emotional beats—they all matter. 😂 Plenty of Laughs – Yes, we love the story. But we’re also here to have a damn good time. 🔄 Always Flexible – If you zig where I thought you’d zag? Awesome. I roll with it. Your choices shape the story—always. 👋 Beginner-Friendly – Never played before? No problem. I’m patient, clear, & happy to teach at whatever pace works for you. 🕊 Group Vibes Matter – I keep the table balanced—both in-game & out. Good vibes, clear communication, & respectful play are a top priority. 📚 Always Learning – I stay deep in the lore, mechanics, & new techniques so the game keeps getting better—every time we play.
