About Still

My love for tabletop roleplaying began as a way to spend meaningful time with my family. What started as a family hobby quickly became a passion for writing adventures, portraying memorable characters, and helping players build confidence and a sense of belonging through shared storytelling experiences. Today, I run reliable, character-driven Dungeons & Dragons campaigns for new, returning, and experienced players. At my table, you can expect: - Meaningful choices that shape the story - Immersive roleplay and memorable NPCs - Creative problem-solving - Story-focused combat - Every character matters - Clear communication and dependable scheduling - Patient support for new and returning players As an educator, voice actor, and game designer, I make D&D approachable without removing its depth or challenge. You do not need years of experience to belong at my table! I only expect you to bring a willingness to participate, collaborate, and help create a great story with us. New and returning players receive: - Help understanding their character sheet - Guidance turning ideas into game mechanics - Patient explanations during play - Encouragement to make their own decisions - Support building confidence from session to session Your choices matter. Your character belongs in the story. Let’s discover what happens next. Still Gaming periodically sponsors community seats for foster families, first responders, military families, and households seeking a shared storytelling experience. Sponsored opportunities are limited and announced separately from regularly scheduled professional campaigns. (Discord)

I started running games because...

I was looking for something to spend time with my family that was away from screens and online gaming. I was drawn into brilliant and beautiful worlds and was hooked on writing and running adventures. My heart is in every session I run so that they can share in this same wonderful experience.

My favorite books are

I read probably 25+ books per year of all types so this is nowhere close to an exhaustive list but some of my favorite fiction books are *Ready Player One *The Little Prince *The Mistborn trilogy (Era 1) *The Road *Dark Matter *The Dresden files *The Ruins *The Stand *LOTR *Shel Silverstein Poems

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Creative Immersive (story-focused) Beginner-Friendly Read my posted reviews. You can feel the excitement of the players after even one session at my table. They feel welcome, respected, invested and have a great time! From your first dice roll to decades of TTRPG Exp. you feel at home here.

How Still runs games

Every session will be personally adapted to the group that is involved. I am offering you a Character-driven D&D experience for new and returning adult players who want dependable weekly sessions, immersive roleplay, supportive rules guidance, and choices that permanently affect the story. Roleplaying, Exploration, Storytelling, Combat and Humor will be scaled per group. Typically, the material used will be written or read from a PG-13 rating with an avoidance (see "lines and veils" under the safety heading) of topics that may be triggering or uncomfortable to the group. I am comfortable adapting any material used to either a younger or more mature audience. I will provide you with reliable, focused D&D campaigns with beginner support to make new players feel welcome. I roleplay memorable NPCs, provide meaningful player choices, and a clear balance of approximately 60% roleplay, 30% combat, and 10% exploration.

I deal with rules issues by...

I make a fair, consistent ruling that keeps the session moving. I make a note of the questions and verify the official rule after the game. Any clarification is communicated before the next session.

My games focus on...

My games focus on: 🎭 Character-driven stories 🧭 Meaningful player choices ⚔️ Story-focused combat 🤝 Beginner-friendly support 📅 Reliable weekly sessions 🌟 Small groups where every character matters 🏰 A welcoming, growing Discord community

Rules are...

I use the published rules as a foundation, but make quick and consistent table rulings to preserve momentum. Verification of uncertain interactions occurs between sessions. Creative solutions are encouraged, but every player receives the same fair standard.

Still's ideal table

Players that fit well at the table will be those who are ready for an adventure. Even if you are unsure about the adventure at hand. You may feel like you need to turn back the whole party to return and get your handkerchief, but I assure you, the adventure lies ahead and not behind. If you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right. There is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth. Content will be somewhere between The Iron Giant movie to the first Matrix movie but can be adjusted per group. Humor, role playing, creativity and teamwork are highly welcome and have, on more than one occasion, been rewarded at the table. In other words my table is a great fit for players who: 🧭 Approach the adventure with curiosity 🎭 Enjoy roleplay and character-driven stories 💡 Experiment with creative solutions 🤝 Collaborate and share the spotlight 🌱 Are willing to learn and try new things 🎲 Accept that both success and failure can move the story forward ❤️ Treat other players with patience and respect At my table, you are encouraged to: Investigate the world - Ask questions - Interact with NPCs - Take meaningful risks - Suggest unexpected ideas - Support the other characters - Help create a memorable story together The tone of each game is adjusted to the group’s preferences and established boundaries. Humor, creativity, teamwork, and thoughtful roleplay are always welcome.

I love it when a player

Discovers for the first time that TTRPGs are very unlike a video game. The limitless wonder that first strikes a new player when they try something unique is an absolutely brilliant feeling for a GM. Push Pull Prod or poke The world that is laid before you. I can't wait to see what you find!

I think it's a red flag when players...

Repeatedly interrupt others Disregard established boundaries Try to control another player's character Questions and disagreements are welcome when handled respectfully.
