DM Style
- Tone: I aim for a comedic atmosphere with a touch of grit. Expect sessions filled with laughter, followed by moments that resonate deeply.
- Worldbuilding: My worlds are ever-evolving and reactive. I create living settings where stories shift and grow with each session, all fully homebrewed.
- Combat: I focus on player-driven and dynamic combat. I emphasize flexibility over strict pathways, leading to outcomes ranging from triumphant victories to unexpected chaos.
- Roleplay: I prioritize deep and consequential roleplay. Some sessions may forgo combat entirely, focusing instead on narrative development. Every action influences the broader world.
- Structure: My campaigns are inspired by the Westmarch style, featuring multiple story arcs, persistent choices, and a collaborative world shared across DMs. Exploration and meaningful decision-making are key.

Background
My journey into Dungeons & Dragons began with family gatherings, playing alongside my father and extended relatives. This foundation ignited my passion for storytelling and world-building. As a pilot-in-training with a keen interest in fantasy and science fiction, I bring a unique perspective to my games, blending structured narratives with imaginative scenarios. My campaigns often explore themes where pirates and magic intertwine, offering players rich and immersive experiences.
Player Testimonial
"I’ve been playing with DM Filbert for about six months, and his games are always a highlight. His thoughtful, RP-focused style puts player choices at the heart of the story, and his NPCs feel real and memorable. One of my favorite moments was convincing the party to work for a rival pirate lord—Filbert ran with it, and my character ended up captaining their own ship. The vibe at his table is light, fun, and engaging. I’d definitely recommend Filbert, especially for first-time and beginner players—he’s patient, kind, and an excellent storyteller."
