About streetshaman

Are you looking for a relaxed DM with Storytelling AND Customer Service skills to run your D&D campaign? Look no further! As a pro DM, my top priority is that everyone has a great time while also conjuring up compelling characters and challenging combat for all to enjoy. I really love nothing more than weaving a great story and I make sure that everyone has a chance to shine at the table so that each of you can bring YOUR stories to life. You are the heroes, not me. You can always expect a nice blend of combat, exploration, and RP at all of my tables! For safety protocols, I have a professional history as an in-game support lead for online MMO's... along with over a decade of bartending so I have no problem recognizing potential situations and addressing them in a timely, professional manner. My contributions to your table: -Epic Lore with 40 years of Dungeons and Dragons knowledge. I was beaten up in the 80's so you could play this game today! -Legendary DND Beyond Subscription. ALL the D&D books for you to browse for free at your leisure! -Foundry VTT. So many custom maps, sounds, effects and animated backgrounds for immersive storytelling! -Customer Care with a background in video games, television, storyboarding, theater, fine art, bartending, and customer support! **TL;DR: if you want a warm, funny table with a professional DM who has a deep well of stories to share... grab a seat!!**

When I'm not running games I'm...

Prepping games 😁 Other than that, I'm usually playing Chivalry 2, listening to music, or watching movies with my family.

People are always surprised when I tell them

After decades of playing DnD in person, I now vastly prefer online play over face-to-face ;)

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

Creative, Welcoming, FunnyAF 😁

How streetshaman runs games

My style mostly covers both grim and fantastic scenarios balanced with shocking comedy and meaningful choices. Pop-culture jokes, a pulp vibe, and the occasional slapstick or pun can be delivered on demand; but I generally get a feel for the table and see what style everyone prefers. Roleplay and voices are highly encouraged at the table but completely optional. Once I know what everyone is comfortable with, I can tailor the tone for the group and ensure everyone is engaged and having a great time. Cameras are off so that we can focus on our shared imaginations. I enjoy using voices and have some experience in theater and film. I'm not a professional voice actor, but I always make an educated effort to ensure your adventures are entertaining and immersive! Speaking of adventure, I can run all published adventures for D&D as-is or add plenty of custom content into the mix. I also like to flip the published adventures slightly, so that any returning players will still get plenty of surprises and a new twist on older content. Last but not least; I aim to make everyone at the table have a healthy laugh at least once a session... after all we play games to have fun. Grab a seat and let's game!

Rules are...

...to be mastered; so they can be broken properly.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Terry Gilliam, Richard Linklater, or Quentin Tarantino

When it comes to voices

...my players really enjoy the range and variety I pull from a bank of real personalities I have met across the years. From dim-witted goblins, to haughty drow matrons I am comfortable in most voice roles and also fully respect the boundaries of cultural appropriation in voice work.

streetshaman's ideal table

Easy going, friendly and relaxed; with upbeat pacing and combat to compliment a "friends around the table" vibe. I like to build tables over games. As a former bartender and customer support director; I exude hospitality and warmth while everyone has a fantastic time having fun and sharing laughs... and maybe even a few tears ;)

I love it when a player

...comes up with creative ways to solve difficult situations. I also love it when a player appreciates the improv mentality of "Yes, and..." over "No, but...". Players who understand this notion usually mesh well with everyone and can make an already great table fantastic :)

My table is not the place for...

... bigots, bullies, or bad attitudes. There is no place for any of that bullshit at my tables. I create a safe place with good vibes for all tolerant people to enjoy. On the flip side of that, if you are looking for PC/NPC romance, please look elsewhere ;P

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

_the Forgotten Realms lore_ I have set all my campaigns in Faerun since the first boxed set arrived with the lone horseman on the cover in the late 80's. From the Spine of the World down to Halruaa, and from the Sea of Swords all the way across to Damara; I got Toril totally covered!
