About PhilDM

Hi, Everyone! I’m an easy-going DM who believes that player fun is the most important part of a game session. I love teaching new players how to play and allowing experienced ones to fully realize their characters. I’m an avid rulebook reader but won’t let rules bog down the game or prevent players from being creative. I like to keep the pace going and focus on everyone having a great time and a positive gaming experience. For longer campaigns, I tailor my games to the style of play that the players enjoy and try to work in background and developing character story arcs. I’m a fan of the characters and can’t wait to see what happens! My GMing experience is mainly with D&D 5E, Vaesen, Call of Cthulhu 7E, and the One-Ring. But I’m familiar with a variety of systems, including Dungeon World, Symbaroum, Mork Borg, and Pathfinder. I love reading RPG books and compendia and hope my knowledge can bring a little extra flavor and fun to whichever game system I’m running. Thanks for visiting my page. Look forward to seeing you!

How PhilDM runs games

I’m an admittedly player-friendly DM who tries to run balanced campaigns with enough combat to satisfy a dungeon-crawl junkie and enough narrative and role-play opportunities to please players who want more depth than just hack-n-slash. I’m always open to player creativity and changing up the style of play to meet the players’ likes and dislikes. My main goal is that everyone has fun and feels comfortable during the game session. If we have to stretch a rule or two on the way there, that is perfectly awesome with me. I enjoy bringing a little bit of humor to my campaigns, but I love the darker moods of games such as Symbaroum and Call of Cthulhu, as well. For me, RPGs are all about creativity and having a great time escaping for just a little while to your world of choice. I hope I can be the GM to guide you along. So, let’s roll some dice (with advantage, of course)!
