Three Dragons in a Trench Coat

When you hire Three Dragons in a Trench Coat, you don't just get a Dungeon Master, you get a full-service adventure architect. I provide a zero-prep, high-tech D&D experience that is guaranteed to be the most memorable part of your celebration or event.

My process begins long before the first die is rolled. We connect with you and your players beforehand to discuss the group's experience level, interests, and the kind of custom adventure they're looking for, ensuring every quest is tailor-made for your celebration. Players can get assistance creating their own unique characters, or, for the ultimate convenience, I can provide pre-made, ready-to-play characters so the adventure starts the minute I arrive. I handle every detail so your guests can simply show up and start playing.

You can expect a whirlwind, exciting adventure, typically for 4 to 8 players, lasting about 3 to 5 hours—the perfect length for an epic one-shot event. This is just a baseline, though; I am experienced in running longer, multi-session events, weeklong camps, or even an entire weekend of D&D fun at your venue or AirBnB. Your event will be elevated by a level of technical polish you won't find anywhere else. I arrive with a complete kit of materials, including custom battle maps, synchronized music and sound effects, thematic lighting, and interactive physical props. I provide all the necessary dice, character sheets, and custom-designed miniatures for the event. And as a final thank you, every partygoer gets to keep their custom miniature to remember their heroic quest!

You provide the guests and the location; we bring the entire fantasy world to you.

Hi, I’m Tommy Nolan, and I’m a professional storyteller, and high-tech adventure designer.

As a professional Gaming Facilitator, I craft heroic quests and epic events that guarantee legendary moments. I’m the founder of Three Dragons in a Trench Coat, but before I was facing down monsters, I was running the show behind the scenes in the world of professional theatre and education. I spent years as a Technical Theatre Director, teaching students and managing every aspect of a stage—from lighting design to sound booths—which, it turns out, is the perfect training for a world-class Dungeon Master.

I use that backstage magic to turn your celebration into a blockbuster event. Forget the standard game: I am obsessed with high-tech immersion, and my quests are built with a love for tangible props, synchronized special effects, and clever puzzles that jump right off the map. My goal is to make the world feel real and every moment unforgettable.

I handle the rule mastery, the hilarious NPC voices, and all the prep work. You just sit down and start playing. Whether you’re booking a milestone birthday, the ultimate bachelor party, or a fresh corporate team-building event, I guarantee a critical hit for your party. It's zero-prep adventure for you, and maximum fun for everyone!

The core of our service is to provide a complete, turn-key adventure, meaning we bring nearly everything needed to run an unforgettable event.

*Baseline Requirements*
To host a professional D&D experience, we require very little from your venue:

— Seating: A large, dining-room style table that can comfortably seat the entire adventuring party (typically 4 to 8 players) and the Dungeon Master.
— Power: A nearby, easily accessible standard power outlet.

*Taking Advantage of Your Venue*
While we can transform any room, our background in technical theatre means we are experts at utilizing a venue's existing features to enhance the adventure.

If your location has any interesting or unique assets, please let us know! We would love to incorporate them into the experience. This includes:

— Built-in Sound: Any existing speaker system or sound setup.
— Unique Lighting: Color-changing lights, dimmers, or theatrical lighting fixtures.
— Atmosphere: Interesting history, architecture, or a unique vibe. If you're hosting an event in a haunted house, a speakeasy, or a historic building, we will absolutely leverage those elements to make the quest even more immersive and memorable.

Our goal is always to integrate seamlessly with your space, turning it into the perfect stage for a legendary tale.
