About Archon

Hi there! I’m Archon, your Dungeon Master, bringing over 6 years of D&D 5e experience and a lifetime immersed in fantasy worlds. I love crafting immersive stories, introducing new players to the magic of tabletop RPGs, and tailoring adventures to fit each player's unique style and character. My campaign seats are priced for two simple reasons: 1. Quality matters. Every campaign is set in a custom-built world with living, breathing NPCs and dynamic storylines that weave your character’s decisions—big or small—into the very fabric of the narrative. What you do matters, and it shows. 2. A better table for everyone. My players are invested, engaged, and genuinely excited to play. The result? A welcoming, energetic, and unforgettable gaming experience. From epic inspirations like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones to the whimsical charm of Pooh Bear and Pokémon, I bring creativity and passion to every session. With Roll20, D&D Beyond, and Discord, my games are smooth, interactive, and seamless. My games—and my Discord—are proudly LGBTQ+ and female-friendly spaces, where respect is a must and inclusivity thrives. Ready to adventure? Roll initiative and let’s create some unforgettable magic together!

I became a GM because

During a break after a long campaign a friend of mine ran, nobody wanted to DM so I decided to start writing and running a campaign. Turns out I'm really good at it and kept growing that campaign until I had too many ideas and started writing other ones to run!

My favorite books are

The Lord of the Rings Red Rising (series) Magic 2.0 Iron Prince Harry Potter War Core (and related series) 14 - Peter Clines Limitless Lands (and Seas) Ascend Online

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Accepting Understanding Epic Chosen by my players in the Shopkeepers of Aldoria campaign I run!

I live with major depressive episodes that often leave me feeling hopeless, disconnected, and numb. Most days are a struggle. There are long stretches where very little brings me joy or gives me anything to look forward to—but Archon’s D&D games are the exception. Week after week, they are a lifeline. A bright point in the darkness. Sometimes, they are the only thing I genuinely look forward to. Archon doesn’t just run games—he creates deeply immersive, emotionally intelligent experiences. With custom maps, music, art, and original storytelling, he builds a world where I feel safe enough to laugh, cry, connect, and even heal a little. The emotional depth of his campaigns and his ability to meet players where they are create a kind of magic that goes far beyond entertainment. He understands trauma, boundaries, and emotional nuance in a way that few Dungeon Masters do. Archon is gentle when we need gentleness, challenging when we need growth, and always attentive to his players' mental and emotional well-being. The therapeutic value of his games is already profound. I have felt it firsthand. If Archon begins offering Dungeons & Dragons as part of his licensed therapy practice, I believe he’ll change lives, just as he’s already changed mine. – A player whose life has been genuinely improved by these games

I’ve been playing with Archon for a few months. His games are a great mix of role play and combat. He’s been very good with the new players that are at our tables.

Archon is a great DM he builds wonderfully imagined worlds, provides cool art, and reacts to everything you do. If you want adventure and fighting he's got you, if you want to explore and interact with the world he's got you, if you want laid back chill fun with friends and engageing roleplay hes got you. And as a cheap man i find that he provides a great value that makes playing in his games feel worth it and he makes an effort to make sure you find the game fun. TLDR: Just join a game you won't regret it

hey guess what! i think you should be sent to jail if you don't play an archon game! he is so talented, so passionate, so creative, and so organized which makes the game and story incredible. i was a huge reader growing up and the game i am part of definitely rivals all the big long amazing fantasy books i've read – there are so many NPCs, each one with their own entire backstory and relationships, millions of places to visit, so many fun puzzles, and there is super detailed art for EVERYTHING which keeps my teeny tiny attention span engaged! in my game he has been really great about asking for feedback and incorporating it so that we are having literally the exact best time ever based on what we are looking for in our game. you should startplaying (see what i did there) asap now immediately

How Archon runs games

My GM style is a dynamic blend of immersive storytelling, tactical combat, and player-driven exploration. I focus on creating rich, detailed worlds where every character’s choices shape the narrative, ensuring that each session is interactive and engaging. I enjoy writing deep lore and use a mix of custom maps, images, music and descriptions to make you feel immersed in our world plus tons of purchased and homebrew content on D&DBeyond Whether you’re a seasoned player or new to D&D, I tailor my approach to fit your needs, offering a supportive environment that encourages creativity and collaboration. With a lifetime of fantasy inspiration and proficiency in platforms like Roll20 and D&D Beyond, my games are seamless and visually captivating. Join me for adventures that promise excitement, camaraderie, and unforgettable moments.

Rules are...

there to be strong guidelines. I generally play Rules as Written because it's a play-tested system, however I have more than a few homebrew rules and let the Rule of Cool go when it's fun to

When it comes to voices

we all do our best haha. I have a range I can do and encourage but don't require players to

Archon's ideal table

My tables are full of players who want to be here and get into the story, which are players I love to have in my games! There are a mix of veteran and new to dnd players in my games, all skill levels will have fun!

I am for a vibe that's...

different depending on the game! I have some that are more serious and those players get really into the gritty story, and I have some that are more slice of life and laid back

My table is not the place for...

constantly going against or being detrimental to the party
