About TChurch72

Hey there, adventurer! I'm a passionate Dungeon Master who's been bringing stories to life since 2018. With thousands of online sessions and several hundred in-person games under my belt, I’ve guided players through everything from heroic one-shots, 10 player campaigns, to long-running campaigns full of mystery, mayhem, and magic. I specialize in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition/2024, crafting immersive experiences that blend challenging combat, meaningful roleplay, and dynamic exploration. My games are rich with custom lore, engaging characters, and living worlds that respond to your choices. Whether you're chasing bounties in dangerous dungeons or changing the fate of kingdoms, your actions shape the story. My storytelling is shaped by my Appalachian roots, where I grew up surrounded by a culture that treasures stories and oral tradition as a way of passing down memory, wisdom, and meaning. I also draw from my Norse pagan roots and Native American ancestry, honoring the deep connections between people, spirit, and the land. These influences bring depth, moral weight, and a sense of living myth to the worlds I create. I use ambient music, unique NPC voices, soundboards, lights, and character-driven storytelling to breathe life into every session. My goal? To make you feel like your character lives in the world...not just plays in it. Whether you’re a seasoned slayer of dragons or brand new to D&D, my table is open to all. Let’s tell a story worth remembering.

I became a GM because

I want to tell a story like no other...I want to have a table of nerds, come together and tell an epic saga of adventure, mystery, horror, or whatever goofy quest we want to tell. I am here as a GM, because I truly believe that my fire is meant to be a light for others, and GMing is how I do that.

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

I am fishing, spending time in nature, playing video games, enjoying a historical site, or hanging out with my wife and 2 poodles!

How TChurch72 runs games

My DMing style is built on a foundation of deep worldbuilding, dynamic encounters, and vivid roleplay. I craft memorable, personal adventures by weaving player backstories into the heart of the story, forging powerful moments that players remember long after the dice have settled. Some of my key strengths include: ⦿Unique, challenging encounters designed to test both tactical skill and creativity. ⦿On-the-fly roleplay with a wide range of accents and personalities to bring NPCs to life. ⦿A flexible approach that caters to new players and long-time veterans alike. Content Note: My games are often NSFW for blood, gore, dark themes, and mature storytelling. Every table includes clear trigger warnings and open communication to ensure a safe, respectful environment. I believe in challenging my players—with brutal combat, tough moral decisions, and real consequences—but never crossing boundaries that players set. I also bring a love of homebrew to my campaigns: ⦿Players can forge legendary weapons and gear as they rise to meet the dangers of the world. ⦿Homebrew rules enhance storytelling, add layers to combat, and reward exceptional roleplay (including unlimited inspiration for truly epic moments). If you're looking for a game that challenges you, immerses you, and gives you the tools to create a character who can truly leave their mark on the world—then you're in the right place.

I prep by

Listening to the type of music that I would classify the game as. If it is a horror game...I listen to dark cello villain type music. If I am doing an adventure, I usually just listen to fantasy. Music and sounds are a huge part of my games, and I value them as part of the immersion.

My games focus on...

Telling a story between 4-6 people. Each story is completely unique, no matter how many times I DM a game. I am a rule of cool DM, and want you to play your character how YOU want to. As long as you do not intentionally disrespect others, I will give your character the spotlight in game to BE YOU.

When it comes to voices

I can do or attempt any accent or speaking style. I truly try to give each NPC a new voice, accent, or vocal style. I love to experiment with voices, and roleplay as that character! I really enjoy meaningful RP with players, and deeply value their backstory.

TChurch72's ideal table

My players love the art of the story. Not just the damage rolls on the dice. I love a natural 1 as much as a natural 20. I love when players roleplay, explore, and are safe enough to explore my realms. I value respect, both ways. I share the spotlight with all my players, I ask players, "How did you slay this epic beast?". I love when my players take their dice and voices and mould my realms to their making...because sometimes the realms don't hold back. I love players that accept challenges, knowing that they may not win, but there will be one hell of a story.

I am for a vibe that's...

Down to step out of life for a few hours, speak in a funny accent, kill some enemies, and laugh till the dice make you cry. I am here to be your humble guide on this story adventure.

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

THE STORY. D&D is not just a dice rolling adventure game. It is a storytelling, roleplay game. I am a kid who grew up reading Grimms Fairy Tales...I eat, breathe, and speak nerd...I love to just tell an epic adventure WITH my players, letting their actions shape the world, no matter big or small.

I love it when a player

Truly embraces their character and plays them to the best that they can. I love it when adults take a moment out of the harsh life we live, to act like a kid. It is truly awesome to watch a player heal in real life due to RP, behind the DM screen. I hope all my players feel safe enough to have fun!
