About Austen
I'm a professional DM with 15+ years of game-mastering experience, and I've been teaching people to play RPGs since I was 12 years old. I specialize in teaching storytelling in my everyday life, and I bring that same passion for original and immersive stories to D&D and other TTRPGs. I'm the lead director/writer of the fantasy film noir audio drama MOXIE MONROE: PRIVATE EYE. Check it out to see my creative storytelling at work!

How Austen runs games
Cinematic stories told through the storytelling engine that is Dungeons and Dragons (and other great RPGs). I get paid to write stories for a living, so I'm making sure you are getting something purely unique and cinematic. Let the good times roll!
