What the Players are saying:

  • “Some DMs run games. Zach conjures worlds. His passion for this kind of art is reflected in his storytelling: It's not improvisation, that's devotion. He sculpts his stories with patience and artistry. Evoking a different level of immersion; Seeing what a moment can become long before the rest of us catch up. And through it all he leaves room for every voice at the table, never rushing or dismissive, always leaning in to see what we'll do next. Sitting down at his table isn't just playing a game, it's stepping into something built with real care, by someone who clearly loves the craft.”

  • “I have been a participant in Zach’s campaigns for almost six years. I have played through three stories and each one has offered the same high standard of engagement, creativity, and immersion. What has separated these experiences from any other gaming environment, however, has been Zach himself. This is why myself (and my group) are so ecstatic for him to embark on this endeavor. What he offers at MurphsonFifth is a dedication to the craft and a genuine care for the players at the table - people who quickly become friends. I look forward to every session. Sitting at the table extends beyond engaging in a character and rolling dice; it involves being there for my friends at the table, laughing and crying with each other through the highs and lows of the story, and celebrating each other and oneself in a very authentic way. What’s being offered is not just a tabletop game, it is a family.”

  • *CLANK CLANK CLANK* “I collect stories, memories, and the last vestiges of patiences from those closest (physically) to me. It’s how I show my love. And how I control it. When in doubt I just let them die. It is the merciful thing to do. I am kindness incarnate. Join me. I will watch you while you sleep.”
