About me

Greetings! I'm Caramon, (yes, named after Caramon from Dragonlance) and I have been a DM for several years, and I've pretty much always DMed instead of being a player! I really enjoy creating a world and having my players explore it. I go the extra mile, providing ambience for adventures, including narrations and sound effects for short stories specifically written for my games and their characters. My games are always about creating a shared story and unraveling a united mystery in a world where your decisions matter and actions have consequences. In some games, you may feel that what you do does little to change the overall outcome. With my games, that is not true. Your decisions have weight, both for good and for ill. I often provide text rp as an additional option free of charge, provided I am available during that time. My games always have a very strong lore aspect. If you really enjoy diving deep into the world, dissecting prophecies, lore drops, riddles, and mysteries while you try as hard as you might to save a doomed world, then I am the DM for you! For live custom games: * Modules are $10 per person per session * Any non hidden-heavens homebrew $15 per person per session * For one on one sessions (Text or live) price is negotiable. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: If you don't enjoy your first session, you will receive a complete refund!

GM Style

Greetings! I'm Caramon. My DMing style can be summed up in a couple of sentences. Grand, in-depth worlds and stories, rich with places to explore, people to meet, and villains to conquer. Worlds where your choices matter, and your actions have consequences, both for good and for ill. I'm mostly 50-50 on combat and RP. I tend to lean more towards RP, but it largely depends on player choices. Most encounters can be avoided or circumvented if you are clever. I alter my games and my style to suit my player's needs. I am very receptive to Suggestions (I always fail my save) and take feedback seriously. No matter what I do, I always put in a significant amount of effort to make the experience as memorable as possible. I also offer play by post, one on one choose-your-own-adventure games.

An experienced GM who was very flexible and made sure everyone was included. Deftly kept the party moving during the one shot to get us plenty of different experiences. Made my first true DnD experience fun!

The DM preps a multitude of paths and routes that leads to the objective, each with varying difficulty so it kind of up to the players to decide on the difficulty of the story they’re playing through. If a path is too hard they can turn around and try another. Other than that there’s plenty of magic items and consumables that can be found through the adventure which is always fun.

We all had a blast and this GM helped me through my first DnD game ever. This GM also created an elaborate map with lots of fun encounters and multiple paths to take. We were all cracking up and having a great time, during the one-shot. What was really fun/funny, was seeing the humanity shine through, with how the group decided to play the game. One guy role played really hard and refused to break character, as a self-righteous paladin, that was hell-bent (ironic choice of words) on bringing the elusive, evil wizard to justice. I played as an oathbreaker, that was contrastingly only in it for riches and personal gain. Eventually, the paladin declared he was going to not only single handedly kill the wizard (in his own lair), but that he was going to arrest the rest of us as well, for changing our allegiances. He ended up getting banished to an alternate dimension, while the rest of us came to a mutual agreement with the wizard and made off with our riches.

Phenomenal world builder that will tie your character to it in fun and interesting ways. Very willing to work with players, whether it be simple questions, help with character backstories/development, suggestions, or just about anything else you can think of. Regularly asks players for feedback to improve, and wants to make sure everyone is enjoying their experience to the best of his ability.
