I offer engaging one-shot campaigns tailored to the needs and interests of the group for one-time events for adults, such as corporate team-building events, birthdays, bachelor parties, and other special occasions.

Youth Events

For events focused on the younger set (8+), such as birthday parties or youth groups, I offer D&D experiences designed specifically for children with age-appropriate themes and situations. I provide all necessary materials, including pre-generated characters, so that the kids can focus on having fun and enjoying the game.

On-Going Campaigns

As a DM for hire, I offer my services to host on-going D&D games tailored to the group's interests and skill level. With my experience, creativity, and all the necessary materials, I can bring the game to life, providing a thrilling and immersive adventure for all players. I offer on-going campaigns both in-person and remotely, over Discord.

Workshops

I offer workshops for players and Dungeon Masters to improve their skills and knowledge of the game. For players, I teach game mechanics and character building, while for DMs, I provide instruction on creating narratives, engaging players, and managing the game. See my events page for what's coming up!

My rates for one-time or on-going campaigns are negotiated with each client. It's important to me for my services affordable to everyone, no matter their budget, and so I do not charge a standard flat rate for any of my events and instead speak to each client about their expectations and budget so we can figure out an epic adventure that works for your exact situation.

"Marc did an excellent job of explaining to us how the world worked and what we could and couldn't do with our characters. I was really impressed by his ability to do so in a way that wasn't hand-holdy at all, even for our least experienced player."

- Kris

"I would absolutely recommend Marc's services to others. It was great being able to play a one-shot that allowed us the freedom to do what we wanted but also kept us on the right track and moved us along. Our session exceeded my expectations."

- Andrew

"Marc was an incredible DM and person for that matter. We play DnD sort of like an improv comedy bit and he met the vibe perfectly and created an incredible experience for our mixed group of experienced and beginner players. 1000% would recommend to anyone looking for a pro DM."

- Erik

"Marc exceeded expectations. He is a great storyteller with a hard-to-find sense of humor who is clearly experienced enough to deal with young or inexperienced players. I would for sure recommend his services. Every aspect from booking, payment, and the session itself was great."
