What you are looking for
A DM to run a fun, inclusive and engaging long-term campaign! I own several published modules, and location sourcebooks such as Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount, Tal'dorei Reborn, Eberron and my own homebrewed setting as well. The point is, I am open to delivering a campaign YOU want. I am also willing to offer a 1-shot game free of charge so you can see what you are paying for and test the chemistry.
What you want in your DM/GM
Offer entertaining tales of heroism that include character tie-in into the overall story.
My games include an in-depth component of story-telling and I feel that rollplay is as important as combat. I enjoy taking players/characters on an emotional ride. Combat is fun, but there has to be stakes involved to make it matter more. Your character’s story will be important to me. Your backstory will be a part of the overall experience.
Fair combat
Sooner or later, combat happens. I offer a fair balance that gives you space to enjoy the story but with exciting, challenging combat. I try very hard to present combat that your characters can win, but still have the possibility they don’t. An easy victory is not remembered. I promise the combat will always be fair.
Fun versus Rules
This can be a tricky balance! On one hand, we are there to have fun, but the rules ground us in the game and without them the game loses it’s believability. For the most part, I stick by the rules. However,there are some occasions when I will overlook a thing or two IF the player can sell it to me at the moment. Bear in mind, there will be times I just HAVE to say “No”.
Be inclusive, empathic, reliable, and consistent.
Racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, or anything of the like is not okay.
I am reliable and show up as scheduled for sessions as a professional should. I have kept campaigns running for years with the same groups of players because of this.
Encourage a friendly, cooperative atmosphere.
D&D is a cooperative experience. Group cohesion is more important than an individual character's goals. We will work together to accomplish great things for your characters. Real conflict between players or characters can happen. But this must always be done with respect and resolved quickly. Even in a paid game, this MUST be enforced and will be by me.
Be receptive to feedback and willing to give it.
If something is not working for you, please feel free to let me know respectfully and preferably privately. I will do the same in return for you if needed.
Be invested.
I will be involved in your game as much as you will allow me. If you want to discuss where your character is going out of session, send me a message. I have players communicate with me all the time out of session and I appreciate that very much.
