About ThorTheNinja
I've been running D&D since 2017 (and playing since 2016), and I'm passionate about creating collaborative, story-driven campaigns where your choices matter. I specialize in customized pre-written adventures with a focus on rich narratives, memorable NPCs, and immersive atmospheres. My Style: I lean RAI when interpreting rules, always prioritizing story and fun over strict mechanics. Expect character voices, atmospheric music, custom digital handouts, and gridded maps through Roll20 and AlchemyRPG. I love weaving player backstories into the main plot and celebrating creative problem-solving—even when players surprise me with solutions I never anticipated. I have a soft spot for anthropomorphic animal settings (like Humblewood) and enjoy adapting themes to suit different audiences. I've run games for everyone from young players to veteran adventurers, and I know how to make sessions both age-appropriate and engaging. What Drives Me: As a parent of two young children, I value everyone's time at the table. Every session aims to be E.P.I.C.: Enticing players with hooks they care about, Presenting compelling problems, creating Interactive moments, and revealing the Consequences of their choices. My favorite D&D moments, both as a player and DM, come from the unexpected: the creative plan that shouldn't work but does, the emotional character moment that catches everyone off guard, the dice roll that changes everything. That's the magic I bring to every table.

How ThorTheNinja runs games
I run collaborative, story-driven campaigns where your character's choices and backstory actively shape the adventure. Expect immersive sessions with character voices, atmospheric sound effects, and custom handouts that bring the world to life. I follow RAW and RAI while staying flexible when it serves the story and fun. Whether you're new to D&D or a veteran player, you'll find a welcoming table where creativity is encouraged, boundaries are respected, and every session aims to create those unforgettable 'remember when...' moments.

ThorTheNinja's ideal table
My table is welcoming, story-focused, and collaborative. We balance serious storytelling with plenty of laughter and creative problem-solving. Expect a good mix of roleplay, exploration, and tactical combat with immersive elements like voices, music, and visual aids. You'll fit well if you: - Enjoy both combat and character-driven roleplay - Share the spotlight and support fellow players - Appreciate when your backstory impacts the story - Communicate openly and respect boundaries You might not fit if you: - Prefer pure dungeon crawls with minimal RP - Enjoy PvP or competitive play - Want completely sandbox campaigns Expectations: Regular attendance, active participation, and respectful communication. We use safety tools and Session Zero to ensure everyone's comfortable.

I am for a vibe that's...
story-driven and emotionally invested—where we care about the characters and the world we're building together.
I love it when a player
builds on another player's idea or roleplay moment, creating something even better than either could have done alone.
