About The Vintage DM

Hi, I''m, the Vintage DM! I'm a huge nerd who loves all things DND or fantasy related. I have been playing DND for close to a decade now, and have been DMing for about 5 years. I love testing the limits of games and will always be here for the rule of cool. As a dm, I love to focus on the players and their characters backstories, letting them fall in love with their characters. My style is a healthy mix of combat and roleplay, depending on the game.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

oooooo I love systems and trying out new things! Right now if you were to ask me though, I would say DND (2014), Flabbergasted, and Candela Obscura.

When I'm not running games I'm...

I'm a dance teacher outside of running games! It's something I love to do, being in the ballet world, working with kids, its all something I truly love. I also love to act, read, and write!

How The Vintage DM runs games

I love to use characters and their backstories to fuel the plot. I am working on my voices and love a mix of combat and RP- depends on the game. I am a rule of cool GM by nature so I love to see what players come up with!

Rules are...

I appreciate rules, but I also am very much a rule of cool DM. I love trying new house rules and adjusting those to different tables. It's also not unheard of for me to adjust rules for the sake of RP (not crazy or anything like that)

The Vintage DM's ideal table

I love all sorts of players! My tables are usually filled with heavy RP'ers and accepting people though. I love to focus on characters and telling their stories. We always do a cooldown and I am proud to say that many of the people at my tables have become good friends.

I think it's a red flag when players...

Knowingly join a rule of cool table just to backseat DM and become rule warriors.
