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 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!

A GM who makes you feel welcome and one who knows that the goal of all tabletop games is for everyone to have fun. Someone who works with players towards that end and is not like some who seems to derive fun at the players' struggles. Also is someone who's not rigid to the text or the rules to the point of driving all the fun out of a campaign.

Andru did an incredible job of setting the stage and telling the story. He created a very challenging story with very unique battle elements. Andru is a Forge wizard and uses the platform to its fullest with lighting, sound, and background music. Andru encourages players to think outside the box and use their creativity. He is very laid back and easy going. He makes for a very entertaining DM and I'd highly recommend you joining one of his games.

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
