About me

Hello! I'm a flexible DM that is always open to player requests, input or just general feedback! I'm a professional Games Designer and love that I can bring my games design experience to my favourite hobby - which I do in my combats, and sometimes by creating homebrew content for my players. Since starting to play DnD over 10 years ago I have run several campaigns, and introduced countless new players to the game so I am more than happy to teach new players and bring them on their first DnD adventure.

GM Style

Campaigns: When running official campaigns my approach is to stick as closely to the original material as possible while making streamlined improvements to the campaign's problems. This usually involves patching up narrative flaws and plot holes, rebalancing unfair combats, and expanding on the original content with existing lore or my own tweaks. Roleplay: I will bring a varied cast of NPCs to every adventure, bringing them to life with different voices and mannerisms, and they will continue to act even while they’re not ‘on-screen’. That said, the players are the heroes of the story and some of the most rewarding moments as a DM come when you are just watching your players roleplay out a scene without a single NPC present. Combat: I will play your enemies with their motivations, experience, and intelligence in mind. My philosophy regarding DnD Combat is that without character death being an actual possibility combat would lack tension and become boring. So while I'm rooting for my players to succeed, I'm not a DM that's afraid to kill a player character if that's how the dice fall! Platform: I host all of my games on FoundryVTT which is entirely free for players, and in my opinion it is easily the best way to play online TTRPGs. Other: I always try to be available in-between sessions to help with the upkeep of character sheets or answer my players questions
