I bring 6+ years of D&D experience to the table, blending dynamic storytelling, tactical combat, interactive mini-games, and player-driven exploration. Inspired by a lifetime of fantasy stories and gaming, I design lore heavy worlds built on logic as much as fantasy to help make them real and immersive. I craft sessions that are interactive and engaging, ensuring every player feels a part of the adventure.
I have multiple campaigns for all skill levels (even new!) with seats open, some which exist in the same world as each other! Each one has 100s of hours of background work on my part which I enjoy doing and being able to DM full time allows me to craft my worlds with enthusiasm.
Campaigns are listed below (edit: updated to only show actively seating / playing campaigns) and then I put more information for each in a comment on this thread

Tales of the Bándearg Valley - Full! The party is in the city of Kanshichi, gathering supplies and a crowd to come watch their fights at the Stonefist Ludus. Master Seer Nariko predicted they would win a great battle, and upon getting to the arena they found out if was a Battle of the Bands. Pyromore, Grim Day, and Infernalis Arcanum put on a fantastic show, but the party was able to win the battle and keep their souls. And got a bunch of gold in doing so!
The Shopkeepers of Aldoria - Now playing! Seats still available! The party welcomed their new member Bru and took him to explore the Maplewood Borough that their shop is in. After meeting a colorful cast of other shopkeepers in the area including a French Vedalken named Claude who teaches music, and a bumblegruff named Mellifera who sells the finest meads and honeys, the party ended their day at the Flambe restaurant where they proceeded to get drunk and come up with ideas for their shop.

Rum, Rogues, & Riches - Now playing! Seats still available! The party officially started as part of Captain Hex's crew. Their first mission was to assist the various other crew members in the port with their jobs and get them back to the ship to sail out at dawn. They were able to negotiate for better pricing on barrels of salted pork for the journey and even picked up a tip on a fat undefended merchant ship they can go after. When picking up First Mate Fishbones from the Wobbly Peg Tavern, they got into a fight with another pirate crew, who turns out sail under the dreaded Captain Seadeath of the Blood Reef.
Shadows of the Stringbinder Needs 3 to start
Tales of the Bándearg Valley - Full! The party, now full of gold after winning the battle of the bands, was able to find lodging for the night. The next morning they shopped at some of the nicer stores in Kanshichi, some of them picking up magic items like Elven boots and a Cloak of Protection. They grabbed their instructor Isolde and headed to the RyuZen Dojo where they would challenge the dojo's students to a series of athletics and acrobatics competitions, The Stonefist Ludus sweeping victories in all categories. Isolde then challenge the Dojo to restore the Ludus' honor, cutting down their finest student in the process. Master Kenzo Ryu did not take kindly to this, stating that they would formally challenge the party and the Stonefist Ludus at the ludus' games in 2 weeks. Master Kenzo challenged Isolde to the death, putting the Dojo up in the challenge, claiming ownership of the Ludus if he wins.
The Shopkeepers of Aldoria - Full! The Shopkeepers are now a full group, meeting up outside Flambe on the way back to their new home. As they arrived, they noticed the door was cracked open. Did they forget to close it? Or worse, did they close it but not lock it? A group of goblins, later revealed to be members of the Nighthawk gang, were ransacking the place. After a tough fight inside their shop and out on the steps, the party was victorious and had to clean up the stinky black goblin blood before morning. The mess however, revealed an even worse enemy: A cranky old neighbor who would report them for every HOA violation possible.
Dive into Coral Kingdom Chronicles, an epic underwater adventure in Coralport City where you'll uncover secrets, navigate political intrigues, and explore the vibrant depths, shaping the future of this dynamic underwater kingdom.

The party hurried to leave Port Mirth at night, on the run from the crew of the Blood Reef after First Mate Fishbones was caught cheating in a card game. In a tense chase the party's ship, the Haunted Halibut, was able to out speed the larger ship with clever use of spells and abilities to make the water easier to sail on. As they head for the adrift merchant ship the Chubby Flounder, the party was attacked by giant and huge crabs climbing up the ship. A tough battle ensued, leaving the party victorious and with ~300 lbs of crab meat.

The Shopkeepers of Aldoria - Full! The shopkeepers, ablaze with their new mission of taking on the main HOA complainer, went to the Office of Urban Regulations and Changes. They had to pass various skill checks to complete the required paperwork and keep their spots in line, including having someone in line fall asleep on one of them and dealing with the tricky gnoll front desk clerk named Grak who relishes the small power they have. The party was able to register their business as a "private investigation, plants and acquired goods shop" and do some shopping for supplies on their way home.
