About me

If you are looking for a game of cooperative storytelling, problem-solving, and fun memories you have found your DM. The pandemic has made it hard to get together, so I shifted to online things. Now I get to play with my friends all over the world but together. Let's make new friends and good memories together through epic games.

GM Style

I believe the reason we all play is to have a great time, and relax/get away from the "real world". My games tend to focus on immersion and escape from your normal life. I gear the play to make sure that there are both combat and social/skill encounters so everyone gets a turn to be the star of the story.

I started playing D&D in person recently, and I wanted to introduce it to family that's scattered across the country. Our one-shot with Urial as a fantastic experience. It expectedly started a bit slow, learning the rules and how to use the VTT, and there were some technical difficulties. However, we eventually got through that, and the game really picked up in speed, intensity, and fun. Urial was really great at explaining the game to the beginners without overwhelming them. He was a great guiding hand through the campaign. He helped to keep us on the right path, but he really let us explore creative options. He's clearly passionate about the game, incredibly knowledgeable, super friendly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves at all time. All the beginners really enjoyed the game, more than they even expected. We're hoping to continue playing in a full campaign at some point in the future!

GM was very patient with our group of mostly new players. He explained things as we went along, but nothing felt overwhelming. I thought D&D would be super intimidating, but Urial's story and help really made it a great first experience. Despite some technical difficulties at first, our group had a blast in the one shot we played. Thank you Urial!

I wish I could choose more than 3 tags! He absolutely allows for player creativity so long as it fits the rules. Urial is SUPER patient with beginners. Even if you make the same mistake multiple times, he corrects you without any judgement. He explains how the whole online system works and has vast knowledge of the mechanics of D&D itself. Directing each player to their own character sheets, he'll clarify abilities and equipment if you are using them wrong or have nuanced questions. He'll even provide hints that you might NOT want to do something in-game (like playing your bagpipes in an orc-infested cave-system). While I'm not new to D&D, I'm no pro either. I feel like playing with Urial has made me a better player overall.
