About Trent
Hello my name is Trent and I am a D&D addict. I've been running two to three games a week for 10 years, and somehow still find time to play in one game a week and watch all of Critical Role, Dimension Twenty, Naddpod, Matt Colville's videos, Web DM, and so much more. My friends and family are concerned for me. So naturally I figure I might try to make money off my addiction.

I got started GMing...
Almost immediately after playing my first D&D game I asked the group if I could run a game. Writing stories, building words, and running games has always been my favorite thing, and I couldn't wait to get started on my first game. IT WAS BAD. But I got better!
My favorite books are
It's easier to list favorite authors: Matt Dinamin, Brandon Sanderson, Terry Pratchett, Jim Butcher, Robert Jordan, James S.A. Corey, Mary Robinette Kowal. Christopher Buehlman. There's a lot more, but I think that's top 8.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Listening to a LOT of D&D podcasts, building worlds and preparing for sessions. But outside of my D&D obsession, I like to lift weights and jog, play video games and blood on the clocktower, read fantasy and sci-fi books, and try different hobbies.
How Trent runs games
My style is very adaptive to what the players want, and the campaign calls for. I have run very story driven epics, simulationist sandboxes, dungeon crawls, farces, heists, etc. I adore session long, beat down bloody and tactical fights as well as long stretches of relaxing, hilarious, or dramatic roll play. When it comes to the Great DM's of Actual Plays, I'd say my style and aspirations align closest with Brendan Lee Mulligan of Dimension 20. The complex conspiracies of interweaving story threads, the difficult and creative battles, and the roll play that swings wildly back and forth from tear jerking to rib splitting.
