Hi everyone! I’m currently running a few paid online D&D 5e games through Roll20 and Discord, including campaigns and one-shots.
My style as a DM is very welcoming, immersive, and roleplay-friendly. I love story, character moments, memorable NPCs, and making players feel like they really matter in the world. I always want my table to feel approachable and supportive, whether you’re completely new to D&D or you’ve been playing for years. You don’t need to be amazing at roleplay or know every rule, just be up for getting involved and having a good time.
I use music and atmosphere to help bring games to life, and I like running adventures where there’s a good mix of roleplay, exploration, combat, and meaningful choices. I also enjoy giving players space to connect with NPCs, build relationships in the party, and help shape the story as we go.
Right now I’m running:
Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk — Saturdays at 12pm BST Curse of Strahd — every other Saturday at 8pm BST A beginner-friendly one-shot — Mondays
I’ll put the full details, prices, and links for each game in the replies below. If anything sounds like your kind of game, feel free to reply here or message me on Discord: drewstanpai
🦇 **NEW STARTPLAYING GAME - RAVENLOFT: TALES FROM THE MISTS** 🌫️
The Mists are calling...
I'm excited to announce a brand new series of standalone **Ravenloft horror one-shots**! Each adventure will take place in a different **Domain of Dread**, featuring its own unique style of horror. You can join for a single session or return for future adventures as we explore the terrifying realms hidden within the Mists.
🕯️ **Our first adventure takes us to Barovia...**
The village has fallen silent. Doors are barred before sunset, frightened whispers fill the streets, and something stalks the night. The locals speak of a devil in the castle, but tonight you'll discover that not every monster lurks behind ancient walls...
Expect: 🦇 Gothic horror 🎭 Heavy roleplay and memorable NPCs ⚔️ Tactical combat 🕵️ Mystery and investigation 🎵 Atmospheric music, maps, and immersive storytelling
📖 **System:** D&D 2024 (5.5e) ⭐ **Level:** 5 👥 New and experienced players are both welcome!
If you've ever wanted to experience the dark, gothic horror of Ravenloft without committing to a full campaign, this is the perfect opportunity.
The Mists are rising... will you answer their call?
Looking for 2 more players: "Astarion's Family Feud" — Level 3 One-Shot (BG3-inspired)
Astarion's newest "sister" has been plotting to kill him — and he's turned to a group of adventurers to help him find out why before it's too late. Expect gothic atmosphere, tactical combat against assassins and infernal horrors, and a chance to actually interact with Astarion himself.
Details:
Level 3, one-shot (~3-4 hours)
2025 Core Rules, Standard Array or Point Buy
Saturday, Aug 8 - 6:00 PM UTC
$5/session via StartPlaying (money-back guarantee if the game doesn't happen)
Discord + Roll20
No BG3 knowledge required - everything gets introduced at the table
I run roleplay-heavy but combat-lite games with a strong focus on making everyone feel like their choices matter. Safety tools (X-Card, Lines & Veils) are always in place, and I'm happy to help new players build characters before the session.
