About me

My name is Kevin. I am the host of Northern Dungeon Master. I enjoy running epic Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. When I run games I create or an amazing module, I unleash my strong, creative side and use my tools of ink and parchment infused with the magic of the weave to transport players from this world to the other planes of existence. Be it the burning Nine Hells, the place of chaotic soupy energy called Limbo or the stable but wondrous Prime. I played the game for the first time at 16 years old (34 years ago) and it was like discovering an unmapped part of my mind. I soon learned the art of dungeon mastering both in adventure creation and execution. I became a storyteller, a designer of worlds and a dungeon master who can be a frenzied orc one minute and a snooty elf noble, the next. As a writer and DM, I must anticipate the choices of players but, also know to adjust to choices that may drive the story in an unplanned direction. I like a good challenge. I revel in planning fantasy adventures, particularly ones where the lesser of all evils must be chosen. This, even if it may be cruel, or worse, tormenting to the party paladin. A good quest tests a character’s strength, dexterity, constitution, intelligence, wisdom and charisma. And finally, a good epic journey will ensure all players are vaulted to hero status. I am interested in learning more about your needs in terms of game. Let's meet in a session 0. I look forward to hearing from you! Kevin Northern Dungeon Master

GM Style

There's so much depth to TTRPGs. I love to role play and understand how much fun it can be for my players. Technical combat is another thing I enjoy. Both of these combined can be great ways to give players a chance to use their creative juices! I do my best to keep the rules streamlined. This said anything is possible with a high role :) or low one :(. Ultimately it's important to me that the players have fun. TTRPGs are such a great way to have this and meet new people!

The GM was open to ideas, walked me through the bases and steps and helped me be decisive of my actions. He did some funny voices and we talked before and after to brief. I would highly recommend him for anyone who wanna start RPG.
