About me

Hello! My name is Shaunnon Drake, and I've played role playing games since 1977 and ran them since 1982. I've been running games online for several years now to see if I could make the jump into DMing professionally, and with my disabilities getting worse this will create an extra source of income for me. I'm familiar with lots of roleplaying systems, but I primarily run D&D 5e. If you have a game request let me know and I'll see if I can fill it! I also love to teach players how to play D&D, so if you're interested, don't hesitate to contact me to learn!

GM Style

I am not an adversarial DM, but I do like to challenge my players to play their best games. I want my players to think, to roleplay, for their characters to fight for their lives, and most importantly, to have FUN! I do enjoy tactical combat over theater of the mind, but I am quite adapt at using both.

GM Shaunnon has been running the game room at my convention, CONpossible, in Atlanta GA for the last two years and always does an amazing job. He's grown the gaming culture at our event considerably since signing on, and creates a welcoming environment for players of all levels. He's great at leading DnD and other TTRPGs, as well as an all around engaging game master for board games and card games of all types.

DM it’s very good at letting players be creative and drive the narrative! If you have a special concept, he’s always been willing to work with you no matter the “out-there-ness” of the concept

Shaunnon knows this game and with very little prep time can dive right into a session and run with it. Combat can be challenging and your best laid plans will do little to phase his next move in equal measure. But his ultimate weapon is the rule of cool - and that makes it worth it playing in his games. Have fun - I do!

I have played games with Shaunnon off and on since the 1990s, and I can attest to the overall quality of his creative work. Definitely worth the money.
