About me

I've been my friends forever GM since 3.5 and 1e pathfinder and have loved doing it! During Covid, I really started to enjoy playing DnD using Foundry and Roll20, being able to draw up my own maps and tokens without an expensive trip to the game shop. I focus on running official modules and one shots to make things a bit easier while I draw up my own custom campaign based on things that my players enjoy! My style tends to be survival and RP heavy sessions instead of just gathering numbers, and I really enjoy gothic/dark settings. My first question to you as a player will always be "What are you comfortable with and what is a hard limit" to ensure everyone is comfortable and having a fun time, and the end of sessions will most often be me asking for feedback on my performance as a DM so I can always improve. I am also a streamer (a VTuber nonetheless) but sessions will NOT be streamed/recorded without unanimous consent from the group.

This was my second ever DnD game with my four person group. Zed was absolutely phenomenal at teaching, story telling, and just having a fun time. Tons of laughs. Great teacher, great for beginners. Tons of patience. Already want to start a campaign with him. Would highly recommend. Great person!

Our party took a very serious game and turned it into lesbian/Monty Python-esq shenanigans. Zed was amazingly encouraging and played along. There are a lot of GM's that want to tell their story through your character and are upset when you don't do what they want. Zed is not like that. He let us players determine who our characters are and flowed with what ridiculous actions we took. An absolute pleasure. Will book again.

He held a very fun beginners session for us. Zed was very patient in explaining the rules when needed. He allowed us to set a lot of the tone of the game and was very flexible the whole time.

Zed is a great DM, especially for beginners. He took time to explain the D&D rules as we played, but didn't bog down with an hour of "how to play" before we could jump into character and start playing. We played part one of an adventure, and I'm really looking forward to playing again!

He made sure the game was what the whole table wanted to play. He balances silly and grand actions well, and had a ton of energy for roleplaying

As players, we wanted to throw him off all the time. I mean being stand offish sometimes to the NPC's (we were doing CoS and tried to kill the fortune teller) and he kept the game running. I was expecting a railroad, but instead got consequences lol
