YayandD

Yay & D helps story-first D&D players and DMs run more immersive, character-driven games. Practical narrative frameworks, not optimization guides. Not power builds. Story.

I make long-form videos for players and dungeon masters who care more about who their character is than how much damage they deal. If you want tools to tell better stories at the table, you're in the right place.

What you'll find here:

Character-Driven Play: frameworks like the First Session Test and Open vs. Closed Backstories that make your characters worth roleplaying.

DM Craft: Narrative Anchors, session design, and immersion techniques that go beyond the rulebook.

Yay & D Originals: behind-the-scenes on the one-shots, zines, and adventure modules I'm building.

New long-form videos every other week. Shorts throughout.
