About me

Hello fair traveler! My name is Brain, I'm a 26 year old He/They from Kentucky and I have always loved to play D&D even before I could read the pages of any rule book. I've been playing in various games both good and bad for as long as I can remember and those experiences have taught me how to run an inclusive, fun, heart pounding game for all to enjoy. Are you new to the Table Top Roleplay? No problem, I'm more than happy to guide you through character creation and the rules to make sure you can have the time of your life. Are you a veteran of countless tables? Prepare yourself to be challenged in every aspect of the game from how you combat the forces of darkness to how you unravel the world before you. When you book me, you book a game that has been personalized to your experience level and to how you want to play your game. Everything between a narrative driven story to a dynamic dungeon crawls to a massive open world where the only limit is the horizon. I currently run anything D&D5e from Ebberon, Exandria, and Ferun to adventures like Curse of Strad, Wild Beyond the Witchlight, and Decent into Avernus. Though my current pride and joy is a homebrew world that I created a few years ago called The Great Wrath. A world not so far from our own with Magic, technology, and ruins of our modern time scattered across what's left of the scared earth. Built from the ground up with D&D5e in mind. These games are run through a combination of Roll20, Discord, and DnDbeyond which allows me to cater the perfect and seamless experience for my players. So what are you waiting for? Gather round the table and let us tell a story together.

GM Style

I cater each game to the player. I'm flexible between rule heavy combat focused dungeon crawls, character driven heart pounding roleplay heavy experiences, and everything in between. I DM for the enjoyment of the player.

Combat is always fun and engaging, he keeps things challenging too despite a large, strong party. We recently had a really cool scene where a bunch of recurring villains with backstory ties made a cinematic entrance, the antagonist feel personal and epic!

The Storyteller was my second DM after I started playing and was very helpful for learning how to play when I was starting out. The Storyteller is a really fun DM. He can be goofy, although that might be because of our group more than his storytelling style. He is always open to player creativity, whether making your character or solving dilemmas in the game. Finally, he also tries his best to make your character and their story weave into the campaign. We have been running a game in his homebrewed D&D world, and it is clear he put a lot of effort into making the world and that he is pretty good at making homebrewed worlds. If you're not interested in that, I'm sure he would be able to run modules just fine as well. Overall I would recommend the Storyteller to anybody seeking a good D&D or D&D-like game.

If there was one singular thing I would point to as an example of how great our DM is, it would be this. In no other game have I played in have I been allowed to create such a wide array of characters, and have all of them feel like they meant something to the group or party, without fear of being side-lined. The same goes for every member of our group; everyone of them were given the opportunity to create anything they wanted and explore an amazing array of stories through those characters. Beyond that; the worldbuilding is insane. On a level that would make God of War developers blush. I whole heartily support this DM and everything he includes in his game. Even the more crazy stuff; as that has brought about some of the funniest parts of our campaign. Games themselves are generally focused on Narrative over combat I would say; with Roleplaying taking much more of a central focus over combat, however plenty of Combat is found here, with some great challenges and obstacles to overcome. From massive 40+ enemy brawls, to singularly insanely powerful boss battles, to random roflstomp fights, there's been a fair mix and it's basically all been fun.

I don't believe any amount of praise could do this DM justice. When I first wanted to get into D&D 5e several years ago, he was who I went to, and I have never regretted it for a second. I have watched him grow as a DM and now have the pleasure of playing in another homebrew campaign of his, and that campaign is easily my favorite that I've ever played in. They have an uncanny talent for crafting epic narratives that put you at the center of the action, while also providing a world that feels lived in and worth fighting for. If you want a DM who will value your input, assist you on a creative journey, and give you the narrative of a lifetime, look no further, because you've found them.

The Storyteller has a true heart for drama-filled, edge-of-your seat narrative and storytelling. In my time playing with them, I have experienced countless tales that make up some of the most memorable highlights of my storied tabletop career. The Storyteller has never hesitated to let me run with a crazy idea, and has always let the characters be the star of the show. It's so easy to get lost in one of their worlds, just wait until you experience it!
