About me

Greetings adventurers! I'm just a guy who loves telling stories and rolling math rocks. I've been writing stories since I was a kid and have always been something of a daydreamer. I get lost in the worlds I make in my head and am excited to share them with all of you. I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons since 2019 and have been DMing since 2020 and it's one of my favorite things. I'm originally from the US but am currently in Norway for school. I also speak Spanish, but all my games will be run in English. My educational background is a mixture of creative writing and history, both of which I use when drafting my homebrew content. I know how to craft a story from start to finish and make NPCs interesting and complex. I'm also really passionate about music and I always go out of my way to make sure I've got the right playlist for every session. My official website is coming soon but follow my Instagram for regular updates on available games and to follow the adventures of my tavern dwelling frog!

GM Style

- I favor roleplay and puzzles over combat, but I also give my min-maxers plenty of opportunities to flex their hexblade paladin build. -I am skilled at a lot of different kinds of accents and voices and try to make each NPC feel unique. -I excel in improvisational play. I'm ready for chaos gremlins and all the twists and turns our story will take. -I make combat immersive and engaging by providing blow by blow narration, special enemy attack strategies and abilities, and diverse environments.

We had a three player game over discord and he was an excellent DM! He knew how to use Roll20 well, made it immersive, used awesome voices, had impressive dialogue and set an awesome ambiance! Highly recommended!

TheTadpoleTavern gave us a great dungeon crawl experience, and it was well worth the money. He's particularly good at creating character personalities and voices, and the roleplay was the highlight of my experience with him - he has a very open style of humour and allowed us a lot of agency to improvise some lore about the world to fit whatever gag we were running with. You can rest assured that this is a GM worth paying for.

This GM is incredible! He does such a great mix of serious and goofy encounters and his storytelling and roleplay is some of the best I've seen. His knowledge of DND is amazing and it's always a treat to be a player in his games.

Lots of experience and is great at playing off of characters actions, even in large groups. Incredible at improv and storytelling, makes me feel like I am in the game, maybe just describing a tavern, or maybe a dragon flying down, either way I always feel very immersed.

A fantastic storyteller, voice actor and improviser, this is the GM for everyone interested in role play, puzzles and adventure. Having helped teach me the art of DnD, he’s fantastic for both beginners and experienced players, helping you weave your character into the word he has created. I would recommend him to everyone wanting some fun DnD, if that means hardcore role play, or relaxed gameplay, he knows how to make it fun.

I had an amazing experience with TTT! He is a master story teller, weaving worlds vividly through his incredible descriptions, dramatic sound tracks and awesome accents! He truly tailors your adventure to what you want. The game was so rich, I can't wait to play again!
