I have played D&D for a little while before exploring the world on the other side of the DM screen.
My DM style is a combination of:
- Rules are guidelines. Basic game rules are present, but further game rules are suggestions; 🦮
- Creative solutions are rewarded; 🧑🎨
- Storytelling is a 2 way street; feel free te participate during the game; 🤝
- Quite some mystery (without you feeling too much lost I hope); ✨
- Expect a plot twist (though not having a plot twist can be a plot twist all on its own!); 🌪️
- Medium risks (so neither boring nor suicidal I hope) & medium rewards; ⚖️
- Combat-heaviness will be relatively low; ⚔️
- Perhaps an interesting puzzle here and there; 🧩
- Last, but definitely not least, centered on everyone having fun! 🥳
One of the reasons I became a DM is to come up with enthralling stories with plot twists in atmospheric settings that draw you further into the story which I hope you all will enjoy. And because of that, you will more likely see me run my own homebrewed one-shots and campaigns than one from a book.
So far (writing this in March 2026) at GameForce I've DM'ed 64 sessions. All homebrewed!
- 23 one-shots themed "Oops! All..." and 4 other one-shots,
- 4 sessions in 2 two-shot adventures, 🐺🤴 & 🩲👶🏻🍼
- 13 sessions in 2 mini-campaigns, ⛏️⛏️🕳️ & 🔥🪨💦💨
- and 20 sessions in an on-going Mycenaean-flavoured campaign "The Oracle's Weave". 🏺🔱
As of yet, no TPK. Hmmm... might need to change that... 😄
