About me

Hello fellow adventure lovers and welcome to Quills & Quests, a tavern dedicated to the telling of stories! Bards, scribes, playwrights, and historians travel from all across the land to hear first-hand accounts of valiant quests from the heroes that also frequent our halls. We know that every hero has a story worth telling and we can't wait to hear yours! My name in Andru the Author and I'll be your guide. While I've only been GMing for a little over three years, I've recently discovered my past experiences have actually been preparing me for the joys of being a D&D GM. As it turns out, I've been practicing storytelling, voice acting, and refereeing tabletop games for decades. I have hosted a lot of in-person and virtual game nights from my own collection of over 100 table top games. I always enjoy devouring the rules for those games in order to teach everyone how to play while maximizing the enjoyment at the table.

GM Style

I'm a GM that is focused on storytelling for both the adventure as a whole but also for the individual characters themselves. I know many heroes have their backgrounds forgotten, their skills tossed aside, and their own personal goals sacrificed at the altar of a bigger adventure. But here, every part of your character matters because we know all those little details are what make you, you. We are here to help you tell your tales of glory and to help memorialize your adventures for all time! I also specialize in teaching new players not only how to play D&D 5E (and the online tools to play it on) but also how to find the right character, class, and play style that suits them best.

Andru was very informative. I feel much more confident now breaking into the world of TTRPGs and using VTTs. Andru was very open to back and forth conversations. At the top of the session, all my needs were noted, and by the end of the session they were all addressed. I would happily book another session for either learning or playing with Andru.

Andru is a great storyteller who paints an incredibly creative picture of the world your characters are in. He brings NPCs to life and gives meaning to your adventure. He's encouraging of his players to use their imagination, skills, and inventory to solve problems, make friends or enemies, and interact with their environment. If you have an idea for your character, he's always willing to figure out how to incorporate it into the plot. You'll have a great time playing D&D with Andru!

Andru was a delight to play with! Very fluent in the game's rules. Quickly answered all questions I had as well as provided a fun and engaging story for me and my party member's! I look forward to our session's to come!

Andru is a tough but fair DM that brings you to the edge of death. You will literally be on the edge of despair wondering if you will die or succeed. You will never know until the smoke clears.

Custom character creation and integration was phenomenal, easy to access, planning is fun, and could go for another session! The visuals were great in the roll20! Roleplaying felt like it had weight as he used the karma system well, the npcs felt like he was really portraying people in marvel. It was a fun experience, he was knowledgeable on the rules which was impressive for how new the system was, and he helped us every step of the way. Personally, it's a 10/10
