About me
Louis has been playing and DMing Dungeons and Dragons for 4 years. His style leans heavily towards roleplay, but he also likes to run tactical battles where the enemies are smart and coordinated to challenge his players and encourage them to push the limits of their abilities. Louis is a sketch comedy writer and voice actor, and he loves to build his worlds with engaging NPCs. He strives to create a unique voice and personality for everyone the party interacts with. Games are mostly run via AboveVTT and Discord for voice and text. Tl;dr: This DM prioritizes the following in descending order: 1) Roleplay 2) Combat 3) Exploration 4) Political Intrigue
GM Style
I love roleplay and interacting with players as NPCs with unique voices. My combat style is very tactical and fast-paced. I like fair but challenging battles that push the players to work together and use the limits of their characters’ abilities. I am also a big fan of exploration, and enjoy designing dungeons and monster lairs filled with puzzles, traps, and treasure. I would say my least developed skill is political intrigue, but I do strive to make engaging villains with complex plots and schemes.

Lou is a fabulous DM! During a mini-campaign, Lou did a terrific job with describing the scene, awesomely building each environment and their related lore through which the players navigated as the story unfolded. He really excels at voices, breathing life into the personality and motivations for each NPC in a believable, grounded way. Despite the campaign spanning only 3 sessions, Lou was also able to provide my party with an exciting adventure; one full of role playing moments, memorable battles, and equally memorable characters, doing so all without rushing the players or the story itself. You'll be in good hands with Lou as your DM!

Lou stepped in to run a mini-campaign for my group and I had an amazing time!! Each session had a great amount of character and world-building, and it all built up to a powerful conclusion that really made us feel like heroes! If you get a chance to play with them, take it!

Louis is a master of ending a session on time while not feeling like the conclusion was rushed

Lou was an awesome DM for our Dragons of Stormwreck Isle campaign! The way he brought the island to life with their storytelling and descriptions was great. He kept the game super balanced, with just the right mix of fights and roleplay. Lou was also super chill and patient, which made it easy for everyone to jump in. The NPCs were so fun and memorable. If you ever get the chance to play in one of Lou’s campaigns, don’t hesitate
