Professional Dungeons & Dragons DM with 30+ Years Experience


Let’s all go to the dungeon to get ourselves some loot

LAS VEGAS DM FOR HIRE

Hire a Professional Las Vegas Dungeon Master to run an adventure for your group! We come direct to your space to run a private Dungeons & Dragons game just for you. We specialize in running D&D events for new players. All you need is a table, and we bring everything else. Perfect for birthday parties, bachelor or bachelorette parties, corporate events, or just a cool Vegas weekend event with friends.

What if we’ve never played before?

Relax, this is perfect for you. We have decades of experience teaching new players how to play Dungeons & Dragons, and we’ll walk you through how to play. We make it all very easy so you’ll be fighting monsters and looting dungeons and no time at all. We keep your D&D experience light, fast, and fun.

What if we want something custom for a special event?

No problem! We can tailor any adventure for your specific need (birthday party, bachelor/bachelorette party, divorce party, Vegas weekend, fun corporate team-building event, etc.). We can even run a published module if you are experienced and just don’t have a Dungeon Master to run it for you.

how does this work? How long is a session? What do we need?

We arrange a time and place to run your D&D game. We come direct to you (home, hotel/casino, office, game store, event space, backroom of a restaurant, wherever). Sessions last about 4 to 5 hours, depending. You bring nothing your crew, ready to play (and a table, of course). Learn more here.

30+ years of runNing D&D and herding cats

meet your dungeon master

My name’s Barry. I’m a professional DM in Las Vegas. I started running RPGs over 30 years ago with the Big Red Box (the D&D Basic Set released in 1983), and have played in and run campaigns in D&D Basic, 2nd, 3.5, 4th, & 5th edition, Pathfinder, Gurps, Rifts, White Wolf (tabletop and LARP) Call of Cthulu, Blue Planet (both versions), Shadowrun, Star Wars (both versions), Star Trek, Rolemaster, Tales From The Floating Vagabond, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Traveller, HoL, and a bunch more I can’t remember.

Once upon a time I was a character actor here in Las Vegas, improv trained at The Second City. Aside from my day job, I’m currently the co-hosting a geek culture podcast and writing my own D&D 5th edition module.

let’s get down to brass tacks

what’s it cost?

Depends on what we’re doing. Either way, it’s WAY more fun than dropping thousands of dollars on some other Vegas experience you’ll barely remember. Who comes to Vegas and orders a DM for hire? You do, because you’re awesome, and your events are legendary.

Read enough and ready to get started? Let’s go!

What People are saying

Been playing with the Vegas DM for years. He’s creative, energetic, and knows his lore. An experienced improv performer, he can adapt with any situation and is never at a loss for interesting choices. But most of all, he enjoys running the game. You’re in for fun because he is having fun, every session.

Kerstan S

We just had our first session with Barry and the experience was absolutely fantastic! We are all new players but Barry made it easy and fun to learn all of the rules. The campaign was super fun and interesting and Barry can definitely hold his own with Mercer! We’re all excited to continue the adventure next month and I know we’ll be playing with Barry as our DM for a long time. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Adam F

Barry is what everyone most wants in a Dungeon Master, someone who is knowledgeable, fair with the rules, creative, funny as hell and makes the game enjoyable for everyone. I have many fond memories playing in games run by him, and hopefully you get a chance to feel that same magic.

Barry was excellent! You could not ask for a better DM. He led our inexperienced group through a masterfully curated 3 hour plus session and we all had a great time! Piff the Magic Dragon joined us and had a great time too! Barry is the best!”

paul m

The Wife had Barry come to the house and run an intro session for my birthday. We had the majority of completely new players. However, Barry took the time to explain the rules but also made sure that everyone was engaged and had a great time with a perfect balance of RP and combat. I think my friends are now interested in running a regular game and we will be calling Barry 10/10.

bruce f

Barry was awesome!! He made it really fun and easy to learn. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

haley h

Barry is my favorite DM. Really good at teaching the basics and running with what the players come up with. You have a lot of freedom to play the game you want to play.

bebe m

Barry is a wonderful DM who goes well out of his way to make a memorable and creative play experience for new players and veterans alike! Barry has been playing the game for decades and is very comfortable in a wide variety of settings and is absolutely more than willing to accommodate your play group for whatever kind of session they want. He’s very quick on his feet and able to improvise with even the most nonsensical players, he’s sure to provide a great play experience for players of any play group.

Barry is an awesome D&D player, leader, and teacher. He combines his vast knowledge of the game, with his incredible creativity to build entertaining and engaging game scenarios. He is also flexible as a DM and doesn’t try to force the players into any particular action. He taught us that the players can pretty much do what they want, and then as a DM he let’s us do just that.

Barry knows what the heck he’s doing. Having played in one or two games he’s run and assisted in another, I can tell you it will be one of the most enjoyable experiences you could have.
