About me

*Alright, roll to tap dance!* Hi there! I'm Tommy. I'm a teacher, a musical theatre nerd, and a gaming-geek. I've been DM-ing for almost a decade now (and teaching for even longer). I especially love working with kids and teens (and kids-at-heart). I often run games for LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse folks. Let's play!

GM Style

Greetings! My name's Tommy. Let's play some D&D (or Monster of the Week, or even *something else*). I like to run a table that is fun, safe, exciting, and exhilarating for everybody. Let's play!

MusicalMash was able to pack a nice, concise story into the time we had with a big table (6 players) while making sure everyone had something to do. The scenarios we faced in our session involved a good mix of challenges.

Had a great time. New-player friendly. Very patient with player technical problems. Jokes were great. Fun voices made memorable NPCs. Knew when to play into the joke, and when to steer towards progress. Would/will definitely book again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Tommy was super nice and had a really interesting and complex story that didn’t feel too hard to figure out, with some amazing NPCs.

Tommy uses imaginative and illuminating story telling paired with hilarious voices and easy to follow setting depictions. He’s not only open to player creativity in and out of game, he encourages it and can swiftly volley back and forth, to your advancement or demise alike. Tommy creates a safe space where you can freely express yourself and be as creative or not as you feel in any particular game. Technically, Tommy is very knowledgeable of the rules, structure, spells, player attributes, and is the perfect coach for any level of player.

My first experience with D&D was with Tommy as the DM. I can not stress enough how incredible of an experience it has been playing with him for over a year now. He is solely responsible for my interest and pursuit of the game and I wouldn’t be playing still if it wasn’t for Tommy’s creative mind and willingness to help a beginner out! Tommy adds lights, synchronized music, 3D printed characters, interactive cyphers and an entire world more to our campaigns. It’s unlike any other game I have ever played! You can not go wrong with Tommy as your DM for your next campaign, he will make it feel safe, funny, exciting, challenging and just so creative! I mean, the types of challenges we have to figure out are so fun and complex; I love being an adult yet using my brain and imagination like I used to when building outdoor games as a kid with friends. Tommy is a 10/10 DM, don’t look any further for your next campaign. Just lock him down before his schedule is booked out a year in advance!
