About SpiritualDM82

I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons since 1990, with experience in 1st, 2nd, 3.0, 3.5, and now 5th edition. Out of all that time, I’ve spent over 20 years as a DM, and while I’m still new-ish to the online DM world, I bring a lifetime of passion and storytelling to the table. I love a good balance of roleplay and combat, and I’m flexible with both experience-based and milestone leveling. I currently use Discord and D&D Beyond, along with the VTT, for communication and character management. As a parent of young children, I may occasionally need a quick 2–5 minute break during sessions to check on them—thank you in advance for your patience and understanding. Most importantly, I believe in creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for all players. I’m proudly pro-LGBTQ+, and I won’t tolerate any form of hateful or offensive behavior at my table. This is a second job for me—but also a true passion. I love weaving immersive worlds where players can embark on unforgettable journeys. Happy adventuring, and may your dice roll true!

How SpiritualDM82 runs games

I’m a storyteller who loves both roleplay and combat—I believe the best games strike a balance between the two. While I might not be a master of character voices, I always bring heart, effort, and a deep respect for the group experience. I run homebrew campaigns and one-shots designed to give players something fresh, immersive, and uniquely memorable. I lean into the rule of cool more often than “by the book,” because for me, it’s all about creating moments that matter and making sure everyone at the table is having fun.

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

Everyone having fun and a voice. No one should feel left out in D&D.

Rules are...

Sometimes subject to change for the enjoyment of the game

When it comes to voices

I do my very best and work on making them better so my players get a fun experience.

SpiritualDM82's ideal table

At my table, storytelling is sacred. I create immersive, emotionally rich campaigns filled with mystery, myth, and meaning—where the journey matters as much as the destination. I’m looking for players who value deep roleplay, collaborative world-building, and stories that explore both light and shadow. If you love character-driven arcs, spiritual or cosmic themes, and playing with purpose and respect, you’ll feel right at home. This isn’t just a game—it’s a shared journey, and every soul at the table matters.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

Gets into character and roleplays. I even encourage role playing in combat.

My perfect party mix is

A tank type player, a healer type, a stealth type, and then some damage dealers to round it off. But that’s just me

My table is not the place for...

Hate, racism, sexism, r@pe fantasies, or anti LGBTQ rhetoric. I want it to be a safe space.
