About Gabriel M
Hi! I'm Gabe. I've been playing D&D 5e since 2018 and started GM-ing for friends and family since 2019-'20. I currently GM online for my family and friend's Curse of Strahd home game, as well as at my local game store. I love collective storytelling and challenging players to think outside the box- to push their minds and character sheets to their limits. Having a fun and welcoming table is always a number one priority for me, whether I am playing or GM-ing.

I got started GMing...
During the 2020 pandemic when my family and friends were going a little crazy inside. I instantly fell in love with GM-ing and the rest, as they say, is history
My favorite books are
The Name of the Wind/A Wise Man's Fear - Patrick Rothfuss Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams Frankenstein - Mary Shelley The Fisherman - John Langan
When I'm not running games I'm...
at my "9-5", Working out at the gym, or spending quality time with my family.
How Gabriel M runs games
My motto is "Let's make roleplay fun and rewarding while keeping combat exciting and challenging." I love to support roleplaying at the table through intriguing social scenarios and integrating character backstories into the existing campaigns. I also want to give players an opportunity to slay monsters and blow things up! I love exploring interesting ideas and stories with players and crafting unique and engaging encounters for them to overcome.

Gabriel M's ideal table
I aim to make my table a welcoming place to players of all experience levels. I want each player to feel comfortable playing their characters through all the pillars of TTRPG gameplay. My greatest hope is that every player will feel like their character is truly growing and developing through a unique "hero's journey". Any table can tell a good story when the plan goes as expected, but the greatest stories are told when the heroes claw victory from the jaws of defeat.
