About MEDM
Hail and well met! I am Mister Eager Dungeon Master at your service, and as the name suggests, I arrive with energy to spare and a passion for unforgettable adventures. I offer a professional Dungeons & Dragons experience built on immersive, cinematic storytelling, high-caliber voice acting, and deeply personalized character arcs that place your story at the center of the tale. With over three decades of combined stage and tabletop experience, I bring a performer’s precision and a storyteller’s instinct to every session. My work extends beyond the table into award-winning actual play podcasting and live-streaming, where I craft narratives designed to resonate with both players and audiences alike. Whether you’re joining me online, stepping into a bespoke in-person game tailored to your group, or gathering for a truly unforgettable TTRPG in a Castle experience, you can expect a game that feels alive and rich with atmosphere, consequence, and wonder. Your table awaits...

Featured Prompts
I became a GM because
when theaters shut down during COVID, I needed a creative outlet. I tried online TTRPGs, and it snowballed: hobby → self-funding → side hustle → full-time career. No one’s more surprised—or happier—than me!
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
imaginative, fair, and dedicated. As a full-time DM, I balance rules and story with care. I create evolving worlds filled with original NPCs, storylines, and encounters — ensuring every game feels personal, dynamic, and alive.
How MEDM runs games
I work hard to craft sessions that make players feel the excitement of an epic fantasy adventure. I try to create memorable NPCs and character-driven interactions which reward immersive role-playing. I also try to create combats which reward outside-the-box thinking and strategy. My 30 years of stage experience allow me to draw upon a large cast of characters with distinct personalities and voices, making sure the tale we craft together has as much color and depth as possible. I am constantly striving to build/obtain the best battle maps for our games, filled with details and color that are far beyond a few lines drawn on a grid. I also work with my players to weave their personal story-arc into the greater tales at play. As a result, players have been enjoying my games for years as a part of such organizations as Gary Con, Storyteller's Forge, TTRPG-in-a-Castle, and Lawful Stupid RPG. Come play! Your table awaits...

When it comes to voices
I love crafting evocative tones and distinct accents for NPCs and villains. I’ve considered voice acting, but honestly, I’d much rather be at the table, — bringing characters to life in the middle of an exciting game — than stuck in a sound booth all day.
MEDM's ideal table
I aim to deliver the full experience at my tables: roleplay, combat, lore, puzzles, deep emotion, and a healthy dose of wacky fun! Roleplay often takes center stage; some sessions are entirely character-driven, while others unfold as massive, cinematic combats. I look for players who want to have fun, but also appreciate that TTRPGs can become something truly magical. The best games happen when everyone is invested in each other's story, not just their own.
Featured Prompts
I love it when a player
brings a backstory full of unanswered questions and room for real growth. If you invest in something unique and meaningful, I’ll meet you there with a story that rises to match it.
I think metagaming...
is impossible to eliminate entirely, but I ask that it be kept to a minimum. Exceptions apply when the stakes are dire and death is on the line. Otherwise, I’ll give a warning — and if it continues…well, the monsters can metagame too!
I think min/maxing...
perfectly fine, if that’s your style. I just ask that every power or ability has a reasonably logical, story-driven reason behind it. And if you’ve built something “game-breaking,” expect the world to rise to meet you. Fair is fair.
