Grady has been writing and running private games of Dungeons & Dragons since 2015. In-person and online. Multi-year campaigns and single night “one-shot” adventures. What tale do you want to tell together?
“What more could you want from a DM than what you get with Grady! He's fun and inviting. Does great characterizations for NPCs. He's very patient with new players and well versed to continue engaging experienced players. He's also great with helping players develop their characters and then incorporating said character backstory into the campaign. Grady is thoughtful, passionate, and a furry ball of awesome energy you want helming your next battle into the deep.

“Grady is a phenomenal GM!!! His preparation and depth of knowledge are matched only by his improvisation and performance! He can fit all different styles of TTRPG play but in my opinion he shines with interesting NPCs and engaging combat. Play with Grady if you wish to deal a mighty blow to your enemies!

“Grady's a fantastic DM with a real knack for character voices. He runs games that are comfortably classic but with enough fresh, new ideas to keep them current and interesting. I appreciate how he works in brief flashes of humor and pop culture without letting them overwhelm the drama/adventure. Good stories, great gameplay!

“Grady makes D&D more than a game. He creates an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life. When I'm old, on my death bed, or if I'm about to die in some horrific rock climbing accident, I'll remember my adventure with my friends.
I played D&D with a group for several years, and we took turns taking on the responsibility of DM. Grady ran Storm King's Thunder for us, and it was by far, my favorite experience playing D&D. It would be true to say there was never a dull session, and he did an amazing job bringing that world and it's characters to life, but that just doesn't do it justice. We were all engrossed in that adventure. Grady made it special for each of us. His creativity knows no bounds. His skills as an improv comedian, and Heavy Metal singer are no doubt an aid to his ability to keep things interesting. I'll never forget him assuming the role of Moog, the giant, and stomping his feet while bellowing in a deep voice, as my character was trying to calm her down. He had me up on my feet, bouncing on the floor with each stomp. I've never been so comfortable getting into my character in the game. Nor will I forget being chased by Moog through the city of Yartar, as our party tried to get her through a teleportation circle. I still feel guilty about that collateral damage.

“Grady is a great GM! Been playing with him for years. He ran a Storm King's Thunder campaign for our group and he was very good at the open world nature of it, coming up with interesting encounters combat, exploration, and roleplay for any of the places we decided to go. Also facilitated one of the best party member betrayals, which then led to an epic battle against that former player character turned GM run villain that was the definite highlight of that campaign. Grady puts in the prep work, and also improvs with the best of them. Has great ideas and takes great ideas. And is always trying to just run a game that is fun for everybody. 5/5 would get tricked into giving all our party's weapons to the secretly evil character again.

“Grady is the best DM I've worked with! His knowledge and feel for the fantasy genre is extensive, his worldbuilding is complex but never overburdened with unnecessary history/background, and his background in performance and improv brings his characters to larger-than-life status. When I sat in on his sessions, most of the players were amateurs, and he patiently and with good cheer guided everyone through, doing deep rule dives with the experts, and explaining "which one was the d12" to newbies with the same fun attitude. I started DM'ing sessions myself after seeing how Grady handled it all. 10/10 recommend highly!

“Grady is a wonderful and conscientious game master. Helpful and patient with newcomers/first-timers but also engaging and complex for more veteran players- nobody is left out! Clearly loves gaming and works hard to share that enthusiasm; his sessions are incredibly fun and imaginative!
