About me

Have look below or contact me via Startplaying Games or via Discord by dming @ mickobrien GM Seanchaí/Mick - 36y - He/Him/They Hi, curious and investigative reader, I'm Mick O’Brien, bringing games to life with all my players from the frozen land of Alaska, USA. I’m a loving cat and dog dad and you may even see them occasionally in the background of a game or two. I am a GM with about 8 years of experience in D&D5e and have even been a player for many of settings that I will bring to life for you all. My passion is watching other grow their creativity and for collaborative storytelling. I will often reward creative and descriptive moments so look for that in game 😉 My tables/games will be ones where you can expect to feel included and where you can have fun! That is always the goal first and forever! See you in game!

GM Style

My GM style is first and foremost focused on fun and having moments to remember together. I am always looking for ways to weave in backstories or to look to include everyone and give everybody a voice. My games are inclusive and will be friendly and a welcome space for all people! I will bring monsters to the table with unique and fun personalities/tactics but I will also ensure there is appropriate challenge and tension in the combat so that it feels rewarding. However roleplay and creativity will be highly encouraged and rewarded and players who decide I am the right fit for them will be ones that want to tell stories together with everyone at the table.

GM Seanchai has been my DM for years before StartPlaying and I've enjoyed the games enough that I plan to hop on his game that are now being run on this site. Very inclusive and safe, leverages Foundry's A/V capabilities. I specifically chose this GM because they're doing more than just running the module out of the book - which can be fun, I can get them with other GMs any time

Okay, fellow adventurers, gather 'round because GM Seanchai, is the Gandalf of our gaming group. This GM doesn't just run games; he crafts freaking sagas. The combat? It's like a dance of swords and spells, seriously, you won't even check your phone during the fights. And the stories? Picture this: you're the star of your own fantasy movie, he makes sure each of us has our backstory woven into the plot. Mick's got this knack for inclusivity – everyone's welcome, and it's like a big, nerdy family reunion. Safe space? Absolutely. Success? Guaranteed. Mick, you're the real deal. Best campaign in town, hands down.

This GM is really good with the virtual tabletop (VTT), especially using Foundry. They're like a pro, and it's super motivating for other GMs who use Foundry too. When it comes to fights, they make things go fast and easy, even if players don't know the system well. And if you're new to the VTT or the rules, they're excellent at helping you figure things out.
