About me

Hello! My name is Travis (he/they), and I have a whopping 15 years of experience running games of Dungeons & Dragons across a variety of editions, timespans, and settings. I have spent most of my life just outside of Lake Geneva, WI, the birthplace of the game, and I fell in love it when I stumbled across a starter set at a local garage sale. The rest is history. I have a bachelor's degree in English with a certificate in creative writing, and I am attending classes to earn a master's degree and become a mental health counselor. As such, I run games to experience the joy of building rewarding narratives and creating memorable stories in a collaborative setting, but I also run games to offer others a safe and encouraging environment in which they can express and enjoy themselves.

GM Style

I tend to run fast-paced games with clear goals, direction, and stakes, and I like to weave these adventures in ways that keep the players and their characters close to the heart of the narrative. I value creative descriptions, expressive role-playing, and out-of-the-box tactical combat. My priorities are actively including everyone at the table and making sure that each player-character has their chance to shine. And I love to run games with diverse, open-minded players who strive to lift each other up and seek inspiration from each others' stories. Because I am new to StartPlaying and still learning the 2024 5e ruleset, I will be primarily running official published adventures on this platform, including Candlekeep Mysteries and Curse of Strahd Keep an eye on my game listings to see which adventures we could delve into next!
