About me
Hey, name's Sam and I've been running and playing D&D 5e for over 2 years now, just for friends, though I'm now looking to run more games. I'm in a lucky position with my skills as a software developer, that I'm able to provide custom online tooling for my players to create characters, manage campaigns and have a lore database for my campaigns. Comes with the added benefit of being able to have custom classes and not pay for D&D Beyond.
GM Style
I'm flexible with my style of game. Depends a lot on the setting and always up for a laugh. I generally split the sessions in thirds of Roleplay, Combat and Exploration. I'm a big roleplay enjoyer and generally do my best for NPC voices and expressions. Combat is not super crunchy and generally let players come up with interesting ways to fight. I prefer to create fights in interesting locations with none traditional mechanics to make them more enjoyable to unique.

So passionate and excited, a great DM! He puts 100% into each session and is very welcoming to new players, building a lived-in world and constantly keeping the story engaging. Can't count the number of times we've ended and had to pause and mull over what has just happened. Each session flies by and I look forward each week to play.
Excellent DM - creates an engaging and captivating story for players where player actions and characters can contribute towards world-building. from my experience sessions and the storytelling is well paced with exciting encounters and plotlines, based on the world and around PCs. He is knowledgeable of the rules, and systems within DND as with all good DM's isn't afraid of the rule of cool. I have played multiple systems with this DM in one-shots and full-length campaigns, including homebrew-based campaigns, all of these have been amazing experiences opening my mind to the potential and world of TTRPG games. My first experience with TTRGP games was a 5E campaign with this DM who made the experience captivating with some of the most fun and memorable moments, I've had playing games. DND has become a big part of my friendship group and my favorite gaming activity as a result of the effort and time my DM puts into the experience. I couldn't recommend this DM highly enough, 100% worth it if you're looking for a new campaign.
We started playing DND 2 years ago as a part of a 'test drive' for the DM to start playing something interesting. Looking back at the time that I've spent playing DND, and spending every week playing DND in some form or another, i can wholeheartedly say that it has been some of the best experiences I've had. The world that the DM has built is deep and rich, and something I look forward to every week I play.
