About me
I've been running D&D games for more than 10 years. My first meaningful experience with D&D was 4th edition. While I can DM games for 4e and 5e, my preference is 4th edition. My favorite part of the game is the storytelling and improvisation along with helping those that are new to the game. Whatever your level of experience, my goal is to create an enjoyable experience for everyone.
GM Style
My goal as a GM is to let the players to drive the story. I value having fun over strictly adhering to the rules. The more creative the players are, the more likely I will say, "Yes. Give it a try." I am not an actor, but I love creating NPCs on the fly and winging it. I live by the first rule of improvisation, "Always say yes." The best times are often when things go off the rails. I run games in Roll20 so that we have access to a tactical map when needed. Private games use Discord for audio/video. Live Streamed games use VDO.ninja for audio/video.

Quick on his feet, patient, and friendly! He's not the kind of GM to do voices, but that results in a high clarity of information. A practiced hand, through and through.

OldeGreybeards game was a wonderful experience, and he proved to be a great all-round GM - good rules knowledge, able to let characters role-play for fun moments, moving scenes along at a good pace, subverting expectations with plot points, and providing crunchy combat that let characters use their skills well. The only thing I missed was background audio to help with immersion, but that didn't stop me from having fun.

OldeGreybeard hosted a group of 5 strangers for a one-shot and we all had a blast. All 5 of us are looking forward to playing again. After some technical difficulties we got a voice channel working through discord and played the encounter on roll20. There was just enough narrative set up and we were on our way. Before long we came across some suspicious characters, uncovered a couple lies, and made our way to an camp of raiders where we had reason to believe there was valuable treasure. Throughout, Greybeard facilitated a fun and friendly play experience for the group, despite it being our first time playing together. tl;dr Highly recommended, would play again.

I played a one-shot with OldeGreybeard as the GM, and had an absolute blast. Really nice guy who was well prepared for the adventure and kept things moving at a brisk pace. It was so fun, we are actually discussing turning the one-shot into a full campaign now. Would highly recommend.
