System: DnD 5e Play style: (70/30) RP/Combat Experience: 10+ Years
About me as the Game Master!
Hello, I often go by PUN, I am 27, I live in Texas with my two cats. I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for about half my life. I have been a Dungeon Master for over 8 years. I have been a professional Dungeon Master for 4 years now. I started out in 4e and quickly moved to 5e where I picked up DMing for my small group of friends. It has been one of my biggest passions and greatest joys being able to make an amazing story with those sitting across the table or, in more recent times, screen.
My GMing style is a bit more laid back than most I have experienced in my day. I hate the feeling of the DM being against or "beating" the players. My goal is to build a story with and around the player in my game. If you are not having fun then I am not having fun.
I love a good roleplay heavy session. I have a couple of voices that I can do but don't make fun of me for slipping in and out of them! I am a super laid back and a "will of the players" type GM. The "rule of cool" is something I live by, I may allow something to happen just because I deem it cool. I sometimes twist or bend the rules to make a game more fun for both the players and myself. I mostly run a homebrew game but love running more sandbox modules such as Out of the Abyss.
Having been a full time professional Dungeon Master for nearly four years now, I pride myself on being able to tell a story that draws in everyone at the table. My goal is to connect you to the scene even if your character may not actively be in it. With this being my full time job I am able to fully devote myself to ensuring your enjoyment at my table.

More information about the game specifically will be shared in the comments here or in DMs feel free to ask!
What to expect.
Payment for games is as follows: I am running a deal right now that the first 3 months of play only cost $100 per month. After the 3 months period when you for sure know this is a good fit for you the price will be returned to its normal amount of $125 a month. We only play 4 times a month allowing me to take a break on any month that has a 5th day of the week that we play on.
I know $100 a month can sound steep to play D&D but that is $25 a session for the four sessions we play together. I put a lot of time and energy into making these games enjoyable for you and tailored to each group. This is my full time job so I can focus on my games and only my games. I also have reviews of the players I currently have in my games to help attest to the fact that this game will indeed be worth the price tag.
I have one group that has been playing over 4 years now, they just finished their first campaign and are starting a new one together. I have another game that is only a few months out from finishing their campaign as well! The one thing all games want is to make it to a satisfying end, with my games we are able to do that with consistency. People that pay into the games are more likely to put quality time into them and make sure they are there. So we miss far fewer sessions and are able to make it into the long term.
All races and classes in official Wizards of the Coast published book are free game to use. I am even open to allowing UA/Homebrew as long as it has been submitted and approved by me before session 1 begins. We will be using roll20 for maps and combats, discord for voice chat, and D&Dbeyond for character sheet upkeep and rolling. There is an extension (beyond20) that allows you to roll on D&DBeyond and it port it over to roll20 and I have found it to be super effective. So that will be used as well.
We will work together to build backstories that tie into the world. This allows for more immersion into the story. We will discuss what type of game we are all wanting to play, where and how we wish to start, and if any of our characters have connected backstories. With this completed we can go into the first session with a running jump.
The first actual session and getting you set up into the game is free.
Parting words
I understand that paying money to play this game can sometimes be off putting. But when you consider the man hours I put into creating an immersive campaign story for you to play, D&Dbeyond content, as well as other purchases I make to run a great campaign, it is almost nothing to pay for the numerous hours of enjoyment that you will receive in return. It not only assures my level of commitment but the other players as well. If you are concerned at all about my quality as a Dungeon Master I have 21 players currently paying for my games, and dozens more, that I have played with in the past, who would vouch for my ability.
I do require my players to be 18+, this allows for more mature topics to be discussed, but other than that all are welcome to apply. I can work with any skill level from the just watched CritRole (or other D&D media) and want to play to the old timers playing since before I was born. Something I have to add is, be open to constructive criticism, old players and new alike, we are playing a collaborative storytelling game together. If someone has an issue with something that happened we should be able to settle it as adults. If that is not something you think you can do I ask that you please find another game. If you can, then I will welcome you with open arms to our (virtual) table.

If you have made it this far in the post I commend you. I hope to see you at the table playing alongside me in this amazing new adventure.
If you are at all interested in playing a game with me please respond to this post with the following:

Hi! I actually learned about Pun's games via LARP Discord of a LARP friend and then followed links to get to the right place, and the most recent thread. I'd be interested in joining the Saturday game. And to follow the rules as presented: Name(nickname is fine): Patience (Pei is a nickname I don't use much but I couldn't use my name as a username) Age: 35 Pronouns: she/they/her Time zone: EST How long have you been playing DnD: Never consistently but was introduced in 2012, mainly Pathfinder for TTRPG. I've played various D&D MMORPGs however so have a baseline familiarity with it. What got you into DnD: LARP friends running a Pathfinder game and I've joined them but they never lasted long. But I am a fan of fantasy and TTRPG overall so always wanted to be in a consistent game. Preferred style of game: Not sure as I haven't played many TTRPGs but I am a fan of it something seems cool and the GM thinks its impressive, letting the players affect the story more than hard-lining their plot. I like a collaborative story is what I am trying to say. What I've read from both Pun and the player whose in the LARP Discord I saw this originally on indicates it would be a good match. Discord tag: mizroguegaming Anything I should know: I have been playing Baldur's Gate 3 alot recently and I have an idea for a character based on in-house mod manager that I've playing the character type and I find their origin and concept really cool and intriguing after discovering the quest NPC 2 runs back (I am on my 5th? BG3 run...) Questions for me: I..don't think I have any questions.

Hey sorry about the late response! Holidays have been crazy. Just sent you a request on discord.
No problem at all! Received and accepted before I headed out to a function last night :)
Awesome, Great to have you.
