About me
Looking to teach players new game systems! I currently run The Midnight Tavern - Your Friendly Online Game Store! Looking to build an online gaming community around roleplaying games, and eventually open my own brick-n-mortar gaming tavern here on Long Island! Been playing RPGs since the 90s, and I don't see that ending anytime soon! I also do a lot of magic items, plot ideas, GM/DM advice over on Tik Tok!
GM Style
I can be as serious or as silly as the group needs me to be. I want to make sure each player gets a chance in the spotlight without forcing it on them. I like playing by the rules, but I'm not married to them and can houserule as needed, especially if it fits the goals and playstyle of the group.

A fantastic jack-of-all trades DM that excels at every part of what I imagined my first campaign experience to be. Midnight provides a really immersive experience with voices and characters with distinct personalities, visual storytelling, and instantaneous improvisation—all while being patient, knowledgeable, and providing a safe environment for the players. Whether you're an absolute beginner or seasoned veteran, I couldn't recommend Midnight enough.
This was my first Dnd campaign and thanks to Midnight, it was the most enjoyable experience ever. I went into it a bit hesitant and with a lotttt of questions but Midnight was able to answer every question I had and never made me feel silly for anything I said. He walks you through every step from session 0 (building a character) and lets you explore how you want to play your character. Our group had a mix of different player experience but he created such an inclusive environment which allowed me to be creative in different scenarios (as a beginner player) and it allowed me to get to know the other (both experienced and unexperienced) players. Midnight was also so incredibly good at voices that he was able to have an interaction with himself and I genuinely thought it was two different people having an a discussion. I had so much fun being a high society, borderline narcissistic, accidentally murderous (allegedly), charming sorcerer. If you have any doubts or are a new player starting out I cannot emphasize how much you will love this dm. I absolutely look forward to doing future games with Midnight and feel so blessed to have him as my first DM. 10/10 experience.
Just finished our second full session (we also had a session zero). Walt is great fun, and strikes a solid balance between rule and cool. He's also really great about explaining things as we go, without the teaching moments interrupting the gameplay. The Midnight Tavern is a great choice when looking for a game.
If you’re looking for an unforgettable Dungeons & Dragons experience, look no further than the Midnight Tavern. His creativity knows no bounds, weaving intricate and captivating stories that keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Each session is a unique adventure, filled with unexpected twists and turns that make the game truly come alive. One of the standout qualities of the Midnight tavern is his incredible talent for voices. He brings every character to life with distinct and memorable accents, making interactions with NPCs (non-player characters) feel genuine and immersive. Whether it’s a gruff dwarf, a sly rogue, or a regal queen, his voice acting adds a layer of depth and realism that enhances the overall experience. Beyond his storytelling and voice talents, they are also incredibly attentive to his players. He ensures that everyone feels included and engaged, tailoring the game to suit the group’s preferences and individual play styles. His enthusiasm is infectious, and his dedication to creating a fun and inclusive environment makes every session a joy to participate in. In short, playing D&D with them is an absolute delight. His creativity, voice acting skills, and commitment to his players make him a game master you won’t want to miss. Highly recommended for both new and experienced adventurers alike!
