About me
I will make sure that you have a great time playing Dungeons & Dragons. Together we will create an wonderful world and experience great adventures. I run beginner friendly campaigns that allow you to pick up the rules as you play along. We will play Dungeons & Dragons by the rules - with stress on the very FIRST RULE: Fun comes first! - If you have the chance to do something cool, but it would break the rule: Then the rule will break. I am here for you - not the rulebook. ;) I enjoy new discoveries, adventures and a good laugh. Diversity in all it's forms makes our lives richer and more interesting. As a European writer and coach I have lived in seven different countries within Europe. Originally from Düsseldorf in Germany, I now live in Santander, Spain.

David
Played 1 session
I was curious about the Cosmere RPG, since I am a fan of the "Stormlight Archive" book series. That's why I booked a one-shot with David. David was extremely knowleable, organised and a very pleasant person to spent time with. I would love to join a Cosmere RPG campaign with him. :)
Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk
Ran 123 sessions
Perfect for new players and aspiring Game Masters alike. I recommend Phandelver and Below without hesitation. If you are a new player, you will find that this adventure eases you into your new hobby. The first encounters and interactions are well paced, letting you learn the rules one step at a time. As a matter of fact, they are so well written that I have used the first three encounters to teach new players more than 150 times by now. A new Game Master will find security in the clear progression of the story. As a GM, you will always know what comes next — and you will still be able to surprise and delight your players. The story is well written. As a player, you will leave every session with a feeling of accomplishment. And then, just when you think you have figured it out, the story twists and presents a completely new challenge with much higher stakes. For GM: Tokens are already set in DnDBeyonds maps. Time Saver! Phandelver & Below is the right choice.
Thomas
Played 4 sessions
Played a number of sessions now and Thomas is really a master of storytelling. Not only through voice and timing, but also through the conditions and borders that he sets he creates a real sense of drama and urgency in each session - you really feel that something is at stake - even in the moments when you are not actively participating but follow the story arch of a fellow player. If you choose to play with Thomas you will have an amazing experience. Full recommendation! :)
Craig
Played 13 sessions
I have played a number of sessions with Craig now - and his enthusiasm is inspiring. Playing with Craig feels immediately like you are playing with a bunch of friends. He is enthusiastic and charismatic and makes you feel welcome from your first moment. This is a no brainer: Play with Craig and have a great time. :)
Buzzo
Played 79 sessions
I joined Buzzo's Netherdeep campaign relatively late in the story - and Buzzo and the other player have been nothing but kind and helpful in getting me onboard. Had a great time in each session and love that we all agreed to continue the campaign further now - hopefully till level 20. :) It doesn't matter if you are new to DnD or an experienced player: I fully recommend Buzzo as your DM! :) I certainly love playing with him and will continue to do so for (hopefully) many cool adventures. :)
