About me

I have been playing D&D on and off since 2001. I own most the the source material in hardcover & digital, as well the map packs for Roll 20. I am not a DM who holds the games rules as absolute and with the correct RP and explanation I can make most things work. If you want me to build a custom campaign or one shot for your friends let me know and that can be arranged !! I also am the host and DM of Mid Life Criticals a D&D show that premieres on Twitch Tuesdays at 7pm EST. You can also check out the episodes on youtube.

GM Style

I do my best to personalize the experience to the players, so I will tie the plot to your backstory in significant ways and/or tailor combat to your builds. I'm big into roleplay and encourage players to think like their characters. You don't need to do voices or get dramatic if you don't want, but I do tend to go for character-focused stories. In other words, I will totally RP the shopping episode if you want! If you don't want to RP much that's totally fine as well whatever makes the experience fulfilling to you as a player. My goal is for the players to have fun, I do not have the DM vs players attitude. All you need to bring is a positive mindset and the willingness to let go and have a good time.

As a 1st timer, Travis was very helpful in helping you understand the interface and basic rules. This is now my 4 week with Travis. One thing I like is he keep everyone involved and keeps the game going at a reasonable pace. Looking forward to starting a 2nd campaign when he offers one.

Travis is awesome! He is super creative and loves to work with his players. He communicates really well and knows how to keep the game moving forward. I would recommend Travis to any kind of group from beginners to those who eat sleep and breathe DND.

Whati I like about playing with Travis is that he cares about his players and checks in on us to make sure everyone is having fun. His games have a nice balance of roleplaying and combat, and is very helpful if any new players have questions about game mechanics.

Trav is a relaxed and inclusive GM who is willing to tailor his adventures to the needs of his players. He puts a lot of effort into preparing for his sessions and is very responsive to DMs if you need help with something outside the game
