Team D DMs
Nic Roe
Hi my names Nic! I've been happily playing DND for about 14 years and have been. Dm for 10 of those years at this point. I've done everything from modules to homebrews and have had a blast with every one. As a DM I love putting up a challenge to my party, be it a wild combat, or a harsh negotiating diplomat. I'm a huge supporter of theatre of the mind and like to get my players to really feel out their characters with some challenging plot.

Hello everyone, I am joining your dm team this year! Some. Of you know me from past years and some don't but either way I am excited to see you all. For anyone that is new this year, there is truly no experience as awesome as the fest in the forest. A little back story, I was going to be the npc known as Isaac so you have probably seen me in the chat. I have been playing since the mid 90s in my middle school years.... I truly love the game and love making sure all my players have a meaningful and memorable experience... I am married to the wonderful, eccentric, slightly crazy npc caliope (yes she's that way in real life). Couple game play tips for my sessions....... I too think a backup character is always a good idea, I am a huge fan of role play and am free with inspiration for those that do it. I do not stack inspiration sadly but may allow you to choose another player to receive yours if the mood strikes me.... I do so love puzzles in my games so be prepared to have your mind worked out. While we do follow a rule set I do enjoy the rule of cool if it's reasonable and not game breaking... And lastly I am very open to questions and ideas so please be yourselves, let your nerd flags fly, and let's have an incredible weekend together.

Hi, I’m Tim Hawkins, and I’ll be one your Dungeon Masters for this years adventures. I started rolling dice and telling stories at about 10 years old. I have played all the editions of the game and have been DMing since I turned 14. D&D is all about the moments that stick with you—the funny moments, the games where your choices matter, where your creativity saves the day, or where your party comes up with the unconventional and surprises me. My games generally are heavier into role-play, over roll-play with storytelling at the core. You’ll meet some interesting characters, face tough decisions, and find challenges that reward teamwork and wit. Combat? It’ll test you. Puzzles? They’ll push you. But most importantly, the story will be yours to tell. I'll be there to narrate it. I have been a player at DnDFest for the last 4 years. This is my first time DMing at DnDFest, and I’ll be ready to bring you a game that feels like a journey worth remembering. See you at the table—let’s make something epic together.
