If you’re reading this, we already have something in common: we both love storytelling! For me, storytelling is at the heart of everything I do. I’m passionate about weaving compelling narratives and creating immersive roleplay experiences, and I love doing it with players of all backgrounds. I have a lot of experience running games for women, LGBTQIA+, and beginner players, and I strive to create a space where everyone feels welcome and engaged. I’m a flexible GM who focuses on making the game fun for everyone at the table. Rules are important, sure, but if bending ...

It started with a few friends, a pile of crayons, and some six-sided dice. Hunched over a bedroom floor in the late ‘80s, we crafted adventures with reckless abandon—dungeons sketched in frantic lines, monsters marked up with battle wounds, and Parcheesi tokens standing in for heroes. Rules? Who needed them? The thrill of the story was all that mattered. Even before I owned my first D&D set, I was hooked on the magic of tabletop roleplaying. Decades later, that same passion still fuels every game I run. Years of playing across countless systems have taught me that whi...

Welcome, Adventurers! Thanks for taking a look at my adventures! I'm an experienced DM/GM with over 40 years of playing and running games under my belt.

I'm a long-time GM with a lot of experience teaching players new systems. My home game has bounced around systems a lot but eventually landed on Cyberpunk Red. Not surprising given my obsession with the sci-fi subgenre. As far as TTRPGs are concerned, I am a big believer in buy-in roleplay; players should only have to "act" as far as they are comfortable. My games emphasize problem-solving using your character's skills, the world and that mushy stuff between your ears. When I am not running TTRPGs I am an engineer; a knowledge set I bring to the table. Many of the too...

Welcome all Adventurers! I am Andy and I want to thank you for visiting my profile. Fate has brought you here for a reason. I have been a lifelong fan of the fantasy genre and have been preparing for this all my life without even knowing it. With a passion for creativity, novice acting, and storytelling, I knew right away that TTRPG’s were my long lost love! When I first discovered Dungeons and Dragons, I encountered the same challenge and obstacles we all do. The lack of a DM (amongst other things)! I vowed to do my part to help alleviate some of this challenge and p...

I'm Bryan (he/him/39yo), and I've been GMing since I started improvising games with my friends 25 years ago. I enjoy running thematic, engaging games, incorporating music, handouts, and other elements to make each game feel alive. As a military veteran, I know what it's like to wrangle a group of people from different backgrounds, and I use that to facilitate the engaging and memorable games I host. I enjoy combat, but I think it's important to balance that with social roleplay, puzzles, and other interactions. Everything should happen with purpose and drive the game...

I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.

My name is Katabri. I have been playing TTRPGs since 1980. I did take a break to raise my kids, but kept up with material. When I came back to Dungeons and Dragons, it quickly became apparent that the easiest way to play in a game was to run it myself. So, I've been DMing for about 15 hours per week since January of 2023. I enjoy running DnD 5e and Pathfinder 2e games and endeavor to bring a fun and immersive experience for all my players.

Hey everyone. I generally enjoy DM'ing sessions that are set in a world that feels lived in, encouraging layers to explore freely. My style is to always try to make the world feel alive so that when you make choices other things are still happening in the background, because that's how life works. I have played and DM'd an even amount, so I try to run games that I would want to be apart of. I enjoy a solid balance of RP and combat. Good plot points throughout the world make for a variety of fun, challenging, and impactful experiences, in my opinion, so that's what I ...
