About me

I have been playing D&D for over six years and running games for the past three. It's my passion (read: obsession), and I aim to introduce more to this fantastic hobby, because it really should be shared with as many people as possible. My games usually contain a healthy amount of roleplay (as a voice actor, I just can't resist), tactically challenging combat, and exploration is rewarding for each player, whether through investigative sleuthing, or if you search by hitting things until they give up their secrets.

GM Style

Roleplaying is my jam, I make it a point to have every character you interact with have a unique voice, if not an entire personality. Providing background ambience heightens immersion; from dank sewers, to a blinding blizzard, I'll have the ambience prepared wherever you are. I enjoy challenging my players in combat, at least when enemies can think. If you like the occasional dance with mortality, you'll find it here.

I played a mini-campaign with Samuel and had a fun time. He ran a well paced adventure with plenty of action. His voicing of "a certain pointy-hatted wizard" was spot on. In addition, Samuel is a good listener and takes the time to let everyone contribute to a conflict resolution before moving on. Would play again.

I feel so lucky to have had Samuel as DM for my first campaign! Not only is he a fun and creative storyteller and voice actor, he's patient with new players and always is sure to include everyone at the table in the fun. A wonderful choice for any player. I'm eager to join in another adventure ASAP!

Samuel is a great DM who always makes sure everyone at the table is having fun and feels included. He's very open and adapets to crazy ideas his players come up with - rewarding creativity. He also sets the mood with great ambient music and voice acting for the characters we players have to interact with. I'm having a great time altogether and looking forward to continue in his campaigns for a long time.
