About me

Howdy friends! I've been playing dungeons and dragons for close to 20 years now, DMing for most of that time! I primarily play online now due to moving a lot due to work, but that hasn't stopped me from working to get to be the best DM I can be.

GM Style

I am by far a rule of cool DM. Every game is a unique and tailored experience and I live by the creed that it is an event for everyone to have fun! I tend towards episodic adventures and one shots, and love getting into scenes that let us develop characters and get you really invested in the game. I play in a very theater of the mind filled experience during roleplay and more planned thought out combats with lots of neat things for players to interact with!

I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for many years now and have played with over a dozen GMs in the past. I have never stayed with a gaming group longer than the one lead by Mike, he has not only been a great GM but has also been a great friend. Mike was super inviting since the very first day we spoke, I was very new to roleplaying games as a whole but with him the beginning stages went so well that I now have a life long hobby to thank him for. Mike is able to handidly portray every pillar and aspect of these games in the campaigns he has run, both long-term and one-shots. I've been in multiple campaigns with Mike over the years, and each had incredibly different themes and atmospheres. The classic fantasy settings have been abundant however I've also experienced really fun less traditional themes such as our most recent Spelljammer campaign taking the party all over the Astral Sea. I would highly recommend Mike for players new and old alike. Not only does he understand the rules of the system, he truly understands player agency and that the goal of the game is for everybody to have fun. I can say without a doubt that Mike will provide you with all the tools necessary to have a great time, I know I've loved it for many years now and hope to still be at his table for many more to come.

As a beginner, Mike was amazing at teaching me & explaining the ground work. It’s something I wanted to learn for a while. So glad I jumped in! 10/10

I have majority of my Online D&D experience with Mike as a DM. He makes fun and exciting games. Always makes sure that everyone is involved, and everyone is having fun. Unless it is something unhinged, he will find a way with you to make it happen. I played a horny bard who through some miracles (and his kindness) did not get out right killed by an ancient black dragon, that ended up being the BBEG. He let me play a hippo, that has a pet monkey in spelljammer. We had a few smaller games, holiday oneshots with a lot of long time players. Long story short, 100% recommend the guy. (PS: He forced me to write this review or else he kills all my characters! (PS: Send help! (PS: Just kidding, y'all have fun with him!)))
