About me

Greetings, adventurers! ⚔️ My name is Hunter and I’ve been a Game Master for over 6 years. It started as a one-shot I wanted to run for a friend in his homebrew world and spiraled into a deep intrinsic love for tabletop games and worlds of fantasy. Over the past several years I've ran games weekly, bi-weekly and even tri-weekly and I am currently running 4 weekly campaigns, aiming for a fifth! Whether it's face-to-face or online, I’ve learned how to adapt on the fly, follow the players’ lead, and bring a world to life through atmosphere, tactical challenge, and strong character drama. I now run all of my games in FoundryVTT, using high-quality maps, token vision, ambient sound, and automation to keep the action moving and the world feeling real. Whether it’s intense, rules-crunchy combat or a slow-burn political intrigue, I strive to balance all three pillars of play: exploration, combat, and roleplay. Most of my campaigns lean into off-kilter fantasy, intrigue, and mystery-heavy plots. I love high-stakes decisions, character-driven stories, and dangerous worlds where your choices really matter. If that sounds like your kind of game, you've found your forever-DM. At the end of the day, I believe TTRPGs are about forging unforgettable moments—together. So if you’re looking for a GM who brings experience, dedication, and a passion for storytelling to the table, come say hi. Let’s build something epic!

GM Style

At my table, I blend a flexible “rules-as-written” approach with “rule of cool.” My guiding principle is that epic moments are born when players push creative boundaries, and I’m always ready to adjust the rules if it unlocks awe-inspiring feats. My true strengths lie in worldbuilding, storytelling, and narrative crafting—I pour dedicated prep time into each session, weaving detailed lore, memorable NPCs, and story arcs that adapt to your choices. I strive for a balanced mix of roleplay, combat, and exploration, yet my heart lies in creating imaginative tales where your actions truly matter. FoundryVTT helps me bring these adventures to life with vivid maps, atmospheric music, and smooth automation that eliminates the tedious math. This way, we can focus on the real fun: dynamic encounters and collaborative storytelling. Even with all the prep in the world, I leave plenty of room to go with the flow and follow wherever your ideas lead us. Outside of sessions, I keep everyone involved through weekly recaps and character-building prompts on our private Discord, encouraging deeper connections and open communication. Whether you’re a brand-new player or a longtime veteran, I pride myself on fostering an inclusive and supportive atmosphere. Join me for a game that celebrates creativity, embraces the unexpected, and invites you to shape the world one roll at a time!

Rhett is a phenomenal DM, one of the best I've encountered since using StartPlaying! He brings so much life and character to his sessions and puts an astonishing amount of work into running them. He provides a fun, safe atmosphere that welcomes people from all walks of life to the table and he's also super patient when it comes to guiding players new to D&D/VTTs. It's been an absolute blast running through games with him. 10/10 would recommend.
