About me

First and foremost, making sure my table is safe and inclusive for all of my players is paramount! Tied for first is making sure to give my players an experience that is fun, and meets their expectations in my particular style. I do voices for NPCs ( silly and otherwise), and worlds that range from high fantasy to grim dark. I can meet the touchstones of nearly any genre my players are interested in (EG mystery, political intrigue, epic, kids in peril, cozy, etc.). In any case, know that you are welcome at my table.

GM Style

A detailed and story-driven campaign is usually what I strive for. A world that feels alive. My style involves listening to my players, and attempting to balance each of their playing styles to the scenes, story, and combat/conflict in the game. I do voices, sometimes perform songs written for the story, make art and anything else to bring life to my worlds.

I was a first time player but had a great time, thanks to Isaiah's leadership. Throughout the game he provided each player opportunities for character role play and action. The pacing of the story was a good mix of action and interaction. I appreciated how willing he was to include our ideas and interests in the game-play.

Isaiah really knows how to build an incredible world; fantastic off the cuff details and minutia. The direction of the campaign really felt like the player characters were free to choose our own path. Rule of cool was definitely in play and the checks he came up with to let it play out felt really appropriate. Isaiah is a great DM, even for claustrophobic birds

Isaiah is great at allowing the story to unfold naturally and does a great job allowing his players to be creative. He is very open to exploring his players' decisions and actions. His ability to pull story detail from previous sessions is very impressive. He really creates a fun and safe atmosphere for all players. His story ideas are both exciting and infused with great humor. I looked forward to every session and had a great time!

The storytelling was incredibly well executed, with lots of creative and intriguing world-building to back it up. Our campaign always allowed players the freedom to explore their characters to their fullest potential and make fun game decisions based on that freedom. The environment of the campaign was always very friendly and inclusive as well, and it never felt as though there was any animosity at the table. Highly recommend if you're just starting out in D&D or if you're a veteran player who loves breaking the conventionalities of the game!

He is great at setting the scene and bringing atmosphere to the game. One of my favorite moments was in a D&D 5e campaign where we were helping evacuate a town and save them from a flood, but the damn gets wouldn't open. One of the long running NPC's Taryn, sacrificed his life to open the gates by crashing his flying ship into them. Isiaha was really good at conveying the heavy emotion of the moment and make it feel really impactful.

Isaiah is my current game master and he is honestly amazing. He makes me feel safe and comfortable. He's funny and allows you to joke around at the table though be can be serious when needed. I'd highly recommend him.
