Master of the Craft • Est. 2020
Become a hero. Explore exotic places. Defeat terrifying monsters.
Curated D&D 5e experiences, run by a 20-year Dungeon Master — Long Island, NY & online.
One-Shot Dungeon Crawls: Dank crypts, treacherous marshes, the drow-haunted Underdark, orc war-bands, evil necromancers. A single, self-contained themed session — perfect for a bachelor party, a corporate team-building night, or shaking up game night. No long-term commitment.
Campaign Long-Form Campaigns: A continuing, branching saga for groups who want to meet regularly and live a legendary story. Highly curated and limited — see Services.
Online Virtual Sessions: Can't host in person? I run fully online games over video with digital maps and animated battle boards. The same cinematic experience, anywhere in the world.
Frank has played tabletop RPGs since age ten and run games for two decades — for first-timers and grizzled veterans alike.
Hand-painted minis, terrain, ambient sound, and real character voices. Every session is built to feel like a movie you star in.
Barbarian, bard, cleric, druid, fighter, monk, paladin, ranger, rogue, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard — the choice, and the legend, is yours.
D&D 5e specialist — 2014 and 2024 rules. Easy for newcomers, deep for veterans, and always the DM's favorite system to run.

The whole world is your dungeon. In Development • Playable Demo
Scan anything. A cereal box. A paperback. A parking sign. SKU Crawlers™ turns any barcode, QR code, or URL into a one-of-a-kind dungeon — every SKU is a seed, and every seed is a run no one has ever played before. Twenty years of dungeon-mastering, distilled into a roguelike you carry in your pocket.
Any barcode, QR, URL, or scrap of text becomes a procedurally generated dungeon — its own layout, loot, and monsters. Infinite, shareable runs hiding on everything around you.
Don't just mash attack. Program your crawler's combat reflexes before the fight with simple IF/THEN rules — "IF HP below 30% → drink a heal" — then watch your tactics execute. Part crawler, part puzzle.
Play the relentless Slayer, the immovable Sentinel, and more — then shift your stance mid-crawl to match whatever the dark throws at you.
Spellbooks, a living Grimoire, character folios, stats, and gear. The crunch veterans crave — no table required.
Descend floor by floor, bank your Crawls, die, learn, and chase the perfect seed. Every loss makes the next run smarter.
Hand-built solo in Godot on a custom data-driven engine — every item, enemy, and rule is data, so the world is endlessly expandable.
