About me
In 2021, my son- then 14 -wanted to get his friends together to play D&D. We started a campaign with 4 of his friends. This led to my younger son, age 12 at the time, getting his friends together for a campaign...and eventually my youngest son joined in with his friends. I have run D&D games for birthday parties, and special 1 shot theme games for Halloween and Christmas. Outside of the games that I have run for my own kids, I work as a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania. Most of my career has been spent working with children and families. I have 300 professional games through Start Playing, and I will be running games at a local convention for the fourth year in a row.

What Adam brings to the table
The number one thing I provide is safety. I am a working therapist and work about half my time with children and families. I take child safety very seriously. With the exception of 3 years where I worked with adults exclusively I have been working with children since I was a teen in 1994. I will have character sheets and visuals for the Player's as well. We will be using DnD Beyond and DnD Beyond Maps exclusively.

How Adam creates a safe table
I go out of my way to make sure all players are comfortable. This means I work hard to build trust with players and that players do not use hurtful words or name call for any reason. I am very accepting of LGBTQ players and work with several trans kids in my daily work. While this adventure will have characters losing something from themselves I do not go out of my way to be creepy or scary.
