About me

I've been playing fantasy TTRPGS since I was a kid. Multiple campaigns, numerous one shots, several game systems, and thousands of hours later, here I am, hoping to expand my abilities as a Game Master and eager to share my passion for role play and combat with players new and old. I'm throwing my name into the hat, questing with reckless abandon to be your first, next, or even favorite Master of the Dungeon. With 25 years of acting, writing, and storytelling under my belt, a love for creativity and role playing, and generous-but-not-gratuitous application of the Rule of Cool, all in an effort to make your gameplay as dynamic and fun as possible, I'm ready to start. Care to join me?

GM Style

With a background in entertainment and writing, I'm not shy about providing colorful descriptions to build the worlds of the game, nor in lending my voice to create the various voices of the NPCs who inhabit them. That said, as a player myself I understand the draw to action and combat, and I strive to create sessions that fire on all cylinders. My DM portfolio includes one shots and campaigns of glorious variety, both virtually and live at the table --whether you like political intrigue, suspense, and mystery to drive your curiosities over multiple sessions, or streamlined quests to have you panting at a fever pitch for a single one shot, I make every effort to provide diverse experiences for even more diverse players.

Trent was the GM for my first-ever game of DnD, and he did an outstanding job! He helped out the new players with system explanations when needed but never let the game get bogged down. He clearly put a lot of time and effort into crafting the game world and I am excited to see where his story goes next. Thanks for a great first game!

Trenton is amazing. His commitment to storytelling and characterization is unmatched. He is impressively talented, both as a writer and an actor, it was such a privilege to have watch these talents shine throughout our campaign. Highly recommend!

Trenton is a fantastic GM with the ability to flow in and out of multiple characters seamlessly. He sets the bar very high when it comes utilizing various dialects to make the worlds come alive. Trenton's storytelling is second to none and left me wanting more after every session. Players can look forward to enjoying a truly immersive experience with this talented Game Master. He does well with a wide range of players from the casual types to hard-core role players making it easy for them to come together. 5/5 stars hands down!

Trenton is a fantastic DM who plays by the rule of cool, but not so much that it derails single shots or campaigns. He’s very funny and can have a little wicked streak that makes his games rich and exciting to play.

They’re only letting me pick 3 descriptors, but I’d click them all if I could! If you don’t have fun in his worlds, it’s on you lol
