About me

I have been DMing one form of Dungeons and Dragons or another for over 30 years. I have been a professional DM since 2018. Fantasy is my wheelhouse, but I have run dozens of systems (literally), thousands of sessions (also literally), and hundreds of RPG titles (figuratively) in almost every genre ever imagined (hyperbole), so I can meet your needs! I run games on Fantasy Grounds Unity and I have a Discord server for client use. I have an open availability that extends to all days and times, day or night. As long as your desired time doesn't interfere with clients that are already booked, I can make it happen!

GM Style

My GMing style is very free-form. I can run games for absolute beginners and battle-hardened veterans alike (sometimes at the same table!). I like to see what drives my players and include those elements as the game progresses. Puzzles, combat, role-play, espionage, it can all be found to one degree or another at my table. More importantly, I run an inclusive table. The role-playing community is open to all persons looking to have fun and use their imagination. I do not tolerate abusive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age and/or religion, nor will I tolerate deliberate intimidation, stalking, or bullying. My games are a safe place.

easily the best irl dm i've ever had. does a great job of keeping things light and fun. he's very knowledgeable about most rulesets and settings, and his campaigns always quickly tailor around the players and what they want to do (while also telling a compelling story).

The Bearded For know his stuff. Very patient with new players and can go more in-depth with experienced players. You will feel like you are in good hands with this DM. I look forward to going on many adventures with/ against The Bearded Foe.

This Gm is very good, and helps new players and veterans alike, also helps everyone with learning new systems. 5/5 stars

Sean is such a fantastic GM. I played with him in a few games including one campaign that ran for several years. He's very good at tailoring the game to his players. Whether the group just wants to kill monsters or wants a character driven epic story. He's great at keeping things moving forward and dealing with group dynamics. He's had years of experience running games so he's actually great storyteller without totally railroading his players. He's great at handling rediculous antics whether we're "befriending" a pervy bugbear we're really supposed to kill or some misguided pranks involving a neverending pot of chili. 😆

Sean is definitely the best GM I have ever had. I have played different games and storylines with him, and they have all been very well-crafted. Sean is a great storyteller, flexible, very quick with ideas, and has SO MUCH knowledge. I would prefer to play in one of his games pretty much anytime. Could not recommend this GM higher.

Sean always has amazing adventures lined up, and is excellent with his story telling skills. I always look forward to sessions with Sean, knowing we’re going to laugh and have a great time.
