About me

Hey! I'm Trisden, I've been running D&D 5e for almost 10 years. I fell in love with the game first as a player, then as a storyteller. Now I find my passion is in introducing new players to the game. I often use Lost Mine of Phandelver as an introduction, as it is the adventure that hooked me. When I play with seasoned players, my focus shifts to ensure their experience is engaging and immersive. I use your player character's backstory to weave the adventure into something totally different. No single adventure is the same! So whether you are brand new to TTRPGs or if you’re that player with a 10-page backstory, I'm your GM! Shoot me a message and let's go on an adventure!

GM Style

As a GM, my focus is on making each session immersive, engaging, and collaborative. I thrive on creating a space where players feel like they’re part of a living, breathing world that reacts to their decisions. Here’s what you can expect from my GMing style: Roleplay & Character Voices: I bring NPCs to life with unique voices, personalities, and quirks, making every interaction memorable and dynamic. I encourage players to dive into their characters’ roles, whether they’re seasoned roleplayers or just starting out. Backstory Integration: I love taking elements from your character’s backstory and weaving them into the story. You might discover secrets or find personal challenges that directly tie back to your character’s journey, adding depth and emotional stakes. Tactile Combat & Strategic Play: Combat is an experience where tactics matter and decisions count. I design encounters that balance challenge and creativity, giving players plenty of ways to think outside the box. Approachability for New Players: D&D should be accessible and fun, so I make sure new players feel supported and comfortable. I guide them through mechanics and roleplay tips, making the game exciting and easy to learn. Flexible Storytelling: Whether it’s a heroic epic, a dark mystery, or a lighthearted adventure, I adapt my storytelling to fit the tone of the group, always aiming for a memorable journey that evolves with the players’ choices. At my table, I aim for a balance of adventure, challenge, and camaraderie. My goal is to create a space where everyone has fun and feels invested in the story we’re telling together. So if you’re ready for an immersive, dynamic game, I’m here to make that happen.
