About me
I have been playing D&D for a little over 10 years, and I have spent most of that time as a DM. I have many stories, campaigns, and ideas for players. I am always happy to host a game, whether it is going to be a one shot, or a epic long campaign. I am mostly familiar with 3.5 and Pathfinder(1E, have not tried 2E), however I have been learning 5th edition, and I am capable of learning/doing other editions, including Starfinder! I prefer in person gaming, however online can be done as well. I have no preference to systems, as I have only ever used Discord. My availability is subject to change, so until I have that set in stone, feel free to ask! Worst I'll say is I can't. I work third shift, so I can even do late night escapades.
GM Style
I love when people get into character. Not just voices, but how they react to a situation and all of that. Always remember, you're not always playing yourself, but the character you created. I have been known to have challenging, but fair combat that varies with the skills and experience of the players. I am generally laid back and easy to work with, so long as the players actually play the game. Not a fan of constant dinking around, although searching, shenanigans, and and off the wall actions are anything but shunned.

This DM really makes the game fun by keeping the focus on the story but giving everyone there chance to mold the story. One of my favorite moments was when I snuck in to a capital building disguised as high official planning an assassination attempt strapped down with small bombs under my clothes and a blunderbuss filled mysterious disgusting liquid as I lead in a prisoner a party member I explained they were gonna wanna see what he brought as they all gathered round I shot the blunderbuss covering everyone and distracting long enough for me to light the bombs off and cripple the capital and kill the despicable leaders prolly the most moment

He always works with you if you ask him about something cool you want to try like a new weapon or ability hat doesn't exist he will make a basic one and playtest with you!

Mike knows more about dungeons and dragons than any person I know and he definitely knows how to come up with a great campaign and DM’s with a level of mystery and storytelling that keeps all players on the edge of their seats all session.
