About me

I love Fun games. If you want to play a dwarven fighter, more power to you I guess, but I'm also here for your Plasmoid Echo Knight. Player empowerment is the name of the game when I DM, and I want the game to be your hero fantasy. If you want a manticore mount, why not? Let's make it happen. Wish you could play a certain build in a level 3 game that doesn't come online until level 9? let's house rule something. I've been running D&D in some form for over 20 years and am fairly confident in my abilities and table management skills. I love big combats, and deep RP sessions. You won't get a ton of NPCs talking to one another, (or rather, me talking to myself), I'll be pushing the PCs to the forefront and ensuring your decisions matter. If you won't save the world, then it's not going to get saved. Additional information you might find valuable, I write weekly RPG blogs/homebrew/content reviews at the ttrpgfactory.com, and have some PWYW DMs guild offerings as well. https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?author=TTRPGFactory If you'd like to get a better vibe of my style.
