Chaos doesn’t have to be loud.
Even when the table gets bizarre, fast, and completely unhinged — calm keeps the story moving.
Presence matters more than control.

Quiet preparation before the table comes alive.
This is how The Deaf DM™ works - visuals first, intention clear, story ready.

This screen isn’t just a barrier.
It’s where the story is shaped, paced, and protected.
Silence doesn’t mean absence, it means intention.

New year. Same companions.
These metal dice have travelled with me through countless stories,
from home tables to castle halls.
Not just tools.
Part of the journey.

New Year and we've a new game!

An ever-present at the various AthCons throughout the ages,GM Tony ( @thedeafdm.bsky.social ) takes a seat once more at #AthCon4!

First game of his we look at is a 8th Level D&D - The House Of Madness.

It kicks off with a goblin in a top hat & goes on from there!

This year wasn’t just about sessions.
It was about the people around the table, the moments, the rolls, the choices, the pauses between words.
I’m grateful for every story we shared.
And I’m quietly looking forward to what comes next.

Dreamland is almost here…
A place where courage is small, imagination is huge,
and every monster has a story.
A quiet moment before the magic begins

A single top hat.
A closed screen.
A storyteller getting ready.

This is the part you don’t see on the map, the person behind the screen, shifting between guide, guardian, and chaos with one tilt of the brim.

A single lantern.
A closed screen.
A story waiting in the dark.

This is how every adventure begins — with a little light, a little mystery, and a promise that something is coming.

Carron does not speak — he stands guard.
A warforged protector who takes every blow meant for someone else.
Quiet strength, unwavering purpose… and a promise he never breaks:

No one falls while he still stands.

Four choices. Four fates.

These chests are part of House of Madness — the puzzle that decides whether your party faces battle, escape, truth… or something far worse.

Props matter. Atmosphere matters.

Meet Gory, the fighter who became a legend in a single shout.
A Goliath with a longsword, a shield, and a grin that says “this won’t take long.”
He hits hard, protects harder, and when the dust settles there’s only one thing left to say…

Gory for Glory. ⚔️✨

The Dungeons & Naggins ‘Spansion Packet’ just arrived! 🍻
Can’t wait to mix this with my original set from last year’s Castle weekend.
It’s pure chaotic fun — the perfect blend of Irish humor and tabletop madness.

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.

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.
