Bio

Thor a gamer, game designer, veteran, and actor with a special passion for D&D and the collaborative and emergent storytelling it so wonderfully creates! 

Thor is originally from Norway, and the Knai name is both ancient and steeped in folklore, so roaming around castles and forests in Europe was his childhood. That feel of old magic is real there, and he’ll make sure to weave it into your stories in a way that would make even the Sorcerer of Knai proud. He has 25 years of DM-ing and 15 years of acting under his belt (DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Reign, The Outpost ++), and he’s confident you and he will be able to tell your stories together in a memorable way.

He runs private games with some fairly illustrious players in Hollywood on a regular basis (Joe Manganiello, Vince Vaughn, Tom Morello, Craig Mazin, Dan Weiss, Kyle Newman ++), and although he absolutely encourages player participation (and Gawd are they good at that), each table plays it’s own way. He's totally cool with just going with the flow and sharing the experience however you like! Everyone enjoys different aspects of the game, and although he loves voices and dramatic descriptions, he loves the thrill of battle, tactics, and great teamwork just as much!

Game Style

His games tend toward the "realistic" side of D&D, where vivid descriptions may make you question the moral grey-area players often find themselves in. He supplements 5e with his own house rules such as Crit tables and various other quality of life and tension-enhancing improvements. He is not a DM that tries to punish or "play against" his players. He endeavors to be fair and entertaining, and in his experience, some of the best moments happen when "mistakes" are made and things take an unexpected or unintended turn! The important thing to remember is that everyone is telling a story that all enjoy, together.
