About me

Hi! I've been a DM for going on 5 years now. Started my first D&D group in college and have loved it ever since. I've ran multiple games with a few different groups over the years, and due to some recent events I decided it was finally time for me to try my hand at doing it professionally. As a DM I largely focus on creating intriguing worlds and interesting places and people for my players to explore and interact with. I'm equally comfortable with running both sandbox and plot-driven games, but no matter what kind of game I'm running I make sure that there's never a boring moment!

GM Style

I'm very much a worldbuilder. I love creating settings and characters for my players to interact with. I enjoy both the roleplaying and technical aspects of the game. Combat in my games is largely based around either story progression or character choices. I dislike having combat just for the sake of it, but I'm more than willing to build out encounters that will challenge my players both physically and mentally.

I've played with this guy for 2 years and counting, and never once did I have a dull time or feel unincluded. As a DM of 5 years myself, he breathes life into his characters and dedicates so much time to developing his world like none else. Yet at the same time, he's almost always open to including your character, lore, and ideas into his greater world with a belief that D&D is a collaborative form of storytelling. He's the kind of DM where once you're done with a session you spend the next week discussing plans with your party until you finally get to play again. He's a wonderful person in and out of game and I don't say that lightly. I've never met a DM so inclusive, understanding, and adaptive to everyone's personal identities and needs. Ever since my group has met him, we've never looked back.

I've played in his games off and on for the past couple years. Even though I started out with no experience he was really helpful and taught me everything I needed to know. Every game I've played in has had a really fun vibe. Micah was able to roll with all the crazy things we tried to pull and somehow tied everything back into the story in some pretty cool ways. Highly Recommended!

Micah is a great dm! He makes fun encounters that are difficult enough for our party of seasoned players, but also simple enough for our newer players. It has been very casual, and an enjoyable way to roleplay.

I play an artificer in his game and it's really fun working on projects with him as a dm.
