About the DM Greetings! I’m a veteran Dungeon Master with a deep love for Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 . I’ve been running games since shortly after the edition’s release and have had the privilege of serving as a Living Greyhawk DM for many years. Over time, I’ve honed my craft to create immersive, character-driven campaigns that offer players a meaningful connection to the world around them. In this campaign, I aim to provide a space where players can slow down and truly live in the setting—forming relationships, unraveling mysteries, and watching their characters grow. This isn’t about a mad dash for power or loot; it’s about creating stories that matter, both to the world and to the characters you’ll bring to life. I’m a friendly and easygoing DM who’s happy to guide new players who are willing to learn. Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or brand new to D&D 3.5 , my goal is to ensure everyone has a chance to shine, enjoy themselves, and walk away with memories they’ll treasure. If that sounds like the kind of game you’ve been looking for, welcome aboard—I can’t wait to see where this story takes us.
