About The Storyteller
My name is James, an American Expat living in the Middle East. I am a straightforward DM who runs story-driven DnD with plenty of room for chaos. I like when players take big swings and shape the world, and I work hard to make your ideas matter. I welcome new players and still challenge veterans. Players have called my games engaging, funny, innovative, and worth coming back to. If you want a DM who rewards creativity, keeps the energy up, and happily lets the party wreck his carefully laid plans, you are in the right place.

How The Storyteller runs games
My style, essentially, is to flow with your style and, collectively, the style of the group. I'm no rule lawyer, but I do think adhering to the 5e DnD mechanics is important when presenting genuinely creative ideas to make the rules bend to your will. I enjoy weaving a balance of roleplay, combat, and Sherlock Holmes-esque problem solving into narrative arcs that are ultimately defined by the choices the players make. I'll always have a target in mind for every session, but how the players get there is 99 percent of the fun.
