About Shay Atlas

Shay Atlas (they/them) is a professional Dungeon Master for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, digital fantasy artist, and miniature figure maker. They have been playing D&D 5e since 2017, running D&D games professionally since 2023, and imagining fantasy worlds and drawing quirky characters since childhood.

Shay Atlas runs D&D 5e games for beginners and experts alike, offering one-shot adventures that begin and end in one session as well as short- and long-term campaigns where a party of players meets regularly for weeks or months. As a DM, they focus on telling compelling and dramatic stories through meaningful roleplay, writing campaign plots that give each player their own “main character moment”, and catering to each player’s favored play style for maximum fun. Shay wants to give everyone a spot at their D&D table - regardless of experience level.
