About me

Hi! My name is Sam Duguay, and I am a professional dungeon master. I worked in a commercial kitchen for about 10 years before I realized that it just wasn't my calling anymore. Luckily, a new game store had just opened up and need some new DMs. Having been a DM before, made my mistakes and learned from them, I wanted to give it another shot. Well, as of writing this, my players are going to be going to be playing the finale of a campaign that's been running almost 2 years, I work at that game shop (Dragon Guild in Chilliwack, BC, if you're interested) as a manager, am writing a book, and I run games roughly 3-4 times a week. I really am living my dream. So, if you're interested in my services (the services of a DM that has skill in writing, table management, and plenty of experience in 5th Edition), please, feel free to reach out! My rates are reasonable and adjustable based on your financial ability. I do this for the love of the game. Hope to hear from you soon!

GM Style

Story-oriented DM, combat/random encounters are limited unless it is relevant to the story (travel from one town to another may not have any combat unless a story point is the danger on the roads), encourages roleplay and connection with the other characters, works well with character backstory.

Sam is a fantastic DM, I have done many sessions with him and his world building is amazing and detail oriented, he brings audio and allows each of his players to shine in their own way. Highly recommend Sam!

Sam is a creative and dynamic storyteller that can hold your attention for hours. I have played several of his one shots, which are interesting and unique.

Sam has an amazing world that is continuing to unfold and develop. His story telling skills give me goosebumps at times. Sam has helped me shape my character and put me on a story arch that I am totally happy with and did not expect. I'm excited for my next adventure with Sam.

Sam is fun, creative, and easy-going without compromising on story. Our group has had a great time with him for nearly 2 years. We've had plenty of hilarious moments, but they never detract from the more big and serious moments.
