Hello fellow adventurers. I am Mike and I have been running D&D 5e adventurers for over 10 years. Many campaigns in that time, both homebrew and pre-published. I really love how I get to be creative in building worlds and telling stories within the D&D framework. Sharing adventurers with friends is also a huge reward for me.

My style is difficult to describe, but I would say in terms of taste I like a very traditional adventure style.....classic fantasy is my favorite. Fiction such as Tolkien, Robert E. Howard are big inspirations. I have recently begun diving deep into the Forgotten Realms lore, reading some of the Ed Greenwood books.

My games usually consist of a healthy balance of RP, exploration and combat. I believe in the "3 pillars" philosophy because it creates a healthy balance gives all types a players a way to shine in the experience.

I prefer a traditional party of "good aligned" party members. Your character should fit the story I am telling and I will work with you before starting any long term content to get us on the same page. If you want to play an evil character you need to make a VERY strong case for it before I agree. If we are playing a campaign together I really want my players to engage in the process of writing their back story and really living it in their character. I frawn upon character choices that are strictly mechanical in nature. What I mean is min/maxing for just a strategic advantage. There should always be some story reason for your character choosing certain class (multi-class), background or other mechanical choices. It needs to fit the story and your characters' idea. I'll work with you of course, but I need people to take that seriously as it can impact the QUALITY of the story if not done.

As far as my availablility that will vary as I have a busy schedule. I usually play in the evenings and my time zone is EST. I will post that in each game that I run.
