About Dungeon Matt

As I was lazily scrolling on my phone during my class, I stumbled upon a thing called "Pathfinder". Little did I know that this word was about to change everything. Well, before I knew it, a decade of TTRPGs was behind me. Some of my fondest memories come from playing D&D with my friends. My favorite days of the week are the ones when I run a game! Allow me to share my joy of gaming, world-building, and connecting with others through stories! With my background in tech, education, game design, and storytelling, we are going to experience something special. My goal - to have you tell all your friends how awesomeour session was!

I got started GMing...

because I wanted to play Dungeons and Dragons. Yet I felt bad asking any of my friends to GM, so I just said "Flip it!" and jumped right into it. Fun fact: On my way to my first ever session, I panicked and rewrote my world and session 1 on the tram.

My favorite books are

funny ones such as One Piece, One Punch Man, Hitchhiker's Guide to Galaxy, Discworld, Dungeon Crawler Carl and so on. But I'm also a sucker for fantasy epics such as Game of Thrones, Malazan Book of the Fallen, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, etc.

How Dungeon Matt runs games

Here is the Foundation of my Style 🐌 1. 🔹 We are here to play games and have fun! 2. 🔹The games we play are yours as much as mine - they are unique and cannot be reproduced! Your contribution to our games matters. 3. 🔹 I'm your biggest fan - but even I submit to our cold, math masters - the Dice. Our stories are led by player agency but decided by dice. Enjoy the ride. Embrace the drama. 4. 🔹Rules are important. But they are guidelines - fun is more important. What I really pay attention to during my sessions is pacing! I love mixing storytelling and screenplay with gameplay of TTRPGs. We are here to have fun and no scene must be wasted! I'm at your disposal! Looking forward to adventuring together! 🐌

Dungeon Matt's ideal table

My tables are relaxed. Maybe you had a long day at work. Perhaps you can't find time to meet your friends offline. Or you just love playing TTRPGs and can't get enough! My goal is for my players to forget about the world outside their rooms for the duration of our session. Let's relax and have fun while telling stories and throwing dice! We are here to play this amazing game we love so much.

I am for a vibe that's...

Relaxed, yet eager to play! I want people who are here to A) have fun and B) use our time together to roll dice, laugh, and be awesome to each other.

I love it when a player

drops a pun. The lamer the better!

I think it's a red flag when players...

Come to the table with a story already in their mind. People who love my games are those who bring their character and go with the flow. Where the dice take us, that's where we will go. Nobody knows the story that will take place until it unravels before our eyes. Or ears...
