About me
Greetings adventurers! I'm DM Dalton, a seasoned Dungeon Master with a passion for storytelling and creating unforgettable tabletop RPG experiences. With over seven years of Dungeon Mastering under my belt, I've delved into countless realms, weaving tales that captivate players of all ages—from eager young adventurers to seasoned veterans. Professionally, I've had the honor of serving as a Dungeon Master for libraries and local game stores, crafting adventures that bring joy and excitement to diverse groups of players. Whether you're brand new to the world of RPGs or a seasoned hero, I'm here to guide you through epic quests, challenging encounters, and moments of triumph. As a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, inclusivity and diversity are at the heart of my campaigns. Everyone is welcome at my table, and I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where all voices can be heard and celebrated. Gaming Preferences: I am well versed in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition and have some experience with Pathfinder 1st and 2nd editions. I enjoy exploring different game systems and can adapt to various RPG settings and mechanics. Campaign Style: I am a well-rounded DM who excels at world-building, bringing characters to life, and entertaining combat. My campaigns often feature rich narratives, immersive environments, and strategic challenges that keep players engaged and eager for more. Previous Campaign Highlights: From thwarting dragon hoards to unraveling political conspiracies, my campaigns have seen heroes rise, fall, and rise again. I love creating memorable moments that keep players talking long after the dice have been rolled. Availability: I'm flexible with scheduling and can accommodate various time zones. Whether you're looking for a weekly campaign or a one-shot adventure, let's find a time that works for you! Additional Interests: Outside of tabletop RPGs, I enjoy exploring new board games, diving into fantasy literature, and honing my skills as a miniature painter Let's embark on a journey together and discover the magic of storytelling through tabletop role-playing games. Adventure awaits!
GM Style
For my Campaigns, I love creating very story-driven adventures with various twists and turns. I really enjoy it when players can get into their characters and use improvisation and their own ideas to help build these various worlds. For my One-Shots I focus on adventures that focus on combat. However, if you and your friends are interested in something one-of-a-kind like High-Level adventures, Specialized Scenarios, or Large Scale Combat let me know! I'm happy to create something custom for you and your friends!

I’m still relatively new to DND and am having an absolute blast! Dalton is an amazing DM. I’ve been trying to get more into roleplaying my character and he’s been super great making me feel comfortable and helping build confidence.

Dalton was learning the ropes and doing a great job of it, having as much fun as we were. Great for new players and getting into the hobby.

Can't thank Dalton enough for his patience with a new DnD player like me! He did a terrific job and it was an awesome experience!

Great map and descriptions from the GM! It was a great experience to be a part of- this definitely scratched the itch for a quick "dungeon" crawl and allowed players to actually RP with eachother and the NPC's.

Dalton is great at enabling player creativity. I had a lot of fun in his Night at the Museum one-shot; it was creative and had a comfortable runtime, and I found the ending highly amusing. Book this GM if you're looking for a relaxed environment to play in.
