A bronze DM screen engraved with a dragon and the words “Roll for Initiative.” In front, a purple D20 rests beside a leather pouch spilling gold and silver coins and a dark purple dice tray with green eyes. Cool, dim light spills across a Sword Coast map, catching the edges of the bronze — a quiet scene before play begins.

Light isn’t decoration — it’s direction.
Before the story begins, every shadow waits to move, every glow becomes a heartbeat.
This is how I DM: standing still, ready to let light speak.

A worn, cinematic DM screen surrounded by dice, notes, and light — the same screen used for three years of campaigns, representing experience and legacy before the reveal of The Deaf DM™ screen.

Every mark on this screen holds a story.
Three years of tension, laughter, and silence turned into lessons for what’s next.
Before the new screen rises, this one stands as proof of every game that taught me how to direct a story you can see.

Couldn’t agree more. I call them “story beats” — moments you can move or reshape when players surprise you. Keeps the game breathing.

When the villain pauses instead of roaring — when they listen before they strike.
That silence feels almost human, and that’s what makes them truly unsettling.

A warm-toned tabletop scene with a vintage map as the background. A pouch of metal coins, a plush D20, and a wooden dice tray are arranged together — the tools of cinematic storytelling.

Props aren’t decoration — they’re language.
Every coin, pouch, and D20 becomes part of the cinematic rhythm.
