About Dm/Gm Travis
Hello fellow adventurers! I'm your guide to a world born from boundless creativity and the roll of the dice. I've been mastering the art of Dungeon Mastering for over four years, steering a ship through the turbulent and fantastical seas of a homebrew world I crafted from scratch. My games are built on the foundations of D&D 5e, but here, imagination and roleplay take the front seat, leaving the strict rule-following in the dust. I believe in a game where freedom and storytelling intertwine, creating memorable, character-driven journeys. Whether you're a seasoned player or a curious newcomer, I strive to weave your character's backstory into the very fabric of the world, enriching the narrative and ensuring your place in this evolving tale. While I don't use voice acting, I excel at matching the tones and styles of various NPCs to enhance the narrative and bring our characters to life. This approach helps maintain the immersion and gives each character a unique presence in our story. I use Discord for seamless communication and VTT to bring our encounters to life. I also require players to have the DnD Beyond 20 extension for a smooth and integrated gaming experience. My sessions are rich with visuals and assets that enhance your experience and draw you deeper into the lore. If you're ready to explore a multi-layered world where the story reacts to your choices and the limits are as vast as your imagination, grab your dice, and let's create memorable adventures together!

How Dm/Gm Travis runs games
Narrative-Centric: I focus on storytelling and character development, creating a game where freedom and imagination reign. Each session is designed to be a chapter in our collective story, with your characters’ backgrounds and choices driving the narrative forward. Flexible Rules: While we use D&D 5e as our framework, I adopt a relaxed approach to the rules to prioritize fun and creativity. This allows for a fluid gameplay experience that emphasizes roleplay over mechanics. Interactive and Visual: We utilize Virtual Tabletops (VTT) and Discord to facilitate our games, ensuring smooth communication and immersive encounters. My sessions are enhanced with rich visuals and assets, making each game a vivid experience. NPC Characterization: I do not perform voice acting, but I adeptly match the tones and styles of various NPCs to enrich the narrative and maintain immersion, giving each NPC a distinct presence and role. Adaptive Combat: Combat scenarios vary based on the narrative context. Sometimes it’s traditional turn-based mechanics; other times, you may command armies or resolve conflicts with unique, story-driven outcomes. Technology Integration: Players are required to use the DnD Beyond 20 extension, integrating seamlessly with our game tools for a cohesive and efficient gameplay experience. Deep World Building: The game world is a living, breathing entity with multiple layers of lore and ongoing developments. I actively incorporate your character's backstory into the world, allowing for a personalized and evolving gaming experience.
