Greetings Adventurer, welcome to the Fantasy Lair, meet your Game Master and friend, Ned.
I’m a full-time Game Master and Content Creator. Every day, I wake up eager to start working and create content for all my games.
If that doesn’t tell you enough, let me sell myself a bit more. I have created a vast and expansive setting that acts as the foundation for your stories to grow and shape it. I enjoy running challenging games with moral dilemmas, difficult combat, intricate plots, and actions that have immediate effects on the world. I love my community and I’m thrilled to see it grow, creating friends that could play TTRPGs with until the end of (my) days.

I was very new to DnD as a whole when i decided to try out and find a DM to scratch the itch. I stumbled on to Ned and his vast world by accident but man am i hooked now.
Ned is very chill and down to earth. He was very patient and caring to answer any and all my new player questions and gave me logical explanations. He won't say no outright to anything but he will do his best to make you explain your thought process allowing for the players creativity to shine. In his games it truly feels like the players have a sway on the world. Your actions will have consequences, whether they are good or not you will find out soon enough.
Honestly can't put into words how much effort this dude brings to all his games. From the grizzly monsters he creates to the silly NPCs that help us it is clear that Ned has a lot of love and passion for his world and I think anyone would enjoy that.
I stumbled into the Lands of Arda by accident but now I have a huge and lively world to learn about and explore.
Ned's a great DM! I've played in our weekly current campaign for over a year and half. What initially started as a desire to be a player in a game instead of always DMing, turned into making a new group of friends and me always looking forward to the next game.
I play in one of Ned's homebrew games, and something that I didn't realize going in that I really enjoy is all the homebrew monsters, spells, and etc. It allows those who are more experienced to encounter things you don't have any knowdge of.

I'm in three campaigns with Ned as the DM, and I can't say enough good things. Ned brings a lot of fun and excitement to the table.
Ned's storytelling is seriously on point. He creates these incredible worlds with excellent characters and plot twists that keep us hooked. Every session feels like a journey into an epic fantasy realm.
But what I love most is how Ned really cares about our enjoyment. He's super patient and open to all our crazy ideas. It's a collaborative and relaxed atmosphere that makes our games a blast.
If you're hunting for a GM who can make DnD a thrilling experience, look no further than Ned. He's the kind of GM who turns every session into a memorable adventure.
Ned has been an amazing GM for our group of 4 and our sessions with him have easily become the highlight of our weeks.
While I mean that, it's also pretty vague so let me give some specific reasons: we end each session wanting to keep going, we're engaged throughout it with a great mix of role-playing - adventure - combat - and mystery, we all get to play "our way" while still having a cohesive experience (miracle on Ned's behalf), the world Ned has built is immersive and realistically gritty (which is huge for me), choices feel real and impactful in a way that draws you in (with consequences!), characters and their personalities feel consistent and meaningful (the voice acting helps!), the open world nature of his campaigns is a HUGE draw for us - no railroads or compartmentalized story, and he has done amazing helping 4 new players get into the game (to be clear - I think experienced players would have just as great of an experience).
The experience with Ned and his worlds has been truly wonderful and I can't recommend it enough. Book a game, you will not regret it!

"It's been 3 years since I joined my first game with Ned — since then I've played in a private one-shot and 4 more of his campaigns. Each game is set in the same homebrew world, but every time it's different. It feels like the world is growing and changing based on what the PCs do."
Ned has created a vast world with fully fleshed-out lore, deities, and fully developed NPCs. He has a few homebrew rules and custom items that accentuate the story and are well-adapted for the world he has created.
His DM style is fair, realistic, and he doesn't pull any punches. Made a bad decision? There will be consequences...
