About the adventure
Welcome adventurers to the world of Boardrinn. A land Once blessed and walked by the gods, but now cut off from them. In these lands, mystery's abound, monsters prowl, and adventure awaits those who step out the front door. Hello! My name is Dylan and this is a long term campaign set in my homebrew world of Boardrinn. I would love to put more details of the sort of campaign this is going to be...but I cant! I cant because the adventure is going to be based around, and catered to the group of heroes at its core. So come join me and your fellow adventurers, and tell your story.

About me
Hello! My name is Dylan. I discovered the wonder of TTRPG games in 2016, and have been playing non stop since. I have been a GM since the onset of my addiction. I have run games in 5e, Pathfinder 1e/2e, Starfinder, Witcher TTRPG, Vampire Masquerade 5e, Savage worlds system, Werewolf the Apocalypse 5e, Hunter the Reckoning, Star Wars FFG, Fallout 2d20, Dune, Star Trek, Tales of Xadia, Avatar, Blades in the Dark, and others. If I had to pick a “specialty” is in telling cinematic stories where the players rise from humble beginnings to larger than life heroes with hard fought lessons learned. I would love to run you and your friends through an adventure. I have all the Pathfinder 2e adventure paths as well as most of the Starfinder. If you are interested in any system just let me know and I will see if we can set something up. I look forward to playing with you.

Edit (10/23/24): I’ve been playing with Dylan as our GM for almost three years now(11/21), and we’ve had about 166 sessions together. Over that time, he’s proven to be a super solid GM who’s always prepared but still flexible enough to roll with whatever we throw at him. He learns the rules well, but he’s great about keeping the game fun and letting us think outside the box. Lately, we’ve been moving toward faster, more role-playing-heavy systems, avoiding some of the longer combats that can bog down games like D&D and Pathfinder. Right now, we’re playing Vampire: The Masquerade, and Dylan’s got this shared world going with multiple Coteries—it’s social, political, and just a lot of fun. It’s been awesome to be part of a game where what we do actually affects the other groups and vice versa. We’ve also played games like Traveller and The One Ring, which were a blast, and next up is Dragonbane. I’m excited to try it out since it looks fast-paced and right up our alley. Dylan’s always finding cool new systems for us to try, but he’s got a few games he really excels at, like Vampire. It’s been a great time playing with him, and I’m looking forward to whatever comes next.
Dylan is great! So much so a lot of us play multiples of his games. He's built a pretty active community in discord, so we can all talk shop outside our game hours as well. He allows a lot of player freedom, while still giving the story structure. Oh, and his NPC's are some of my favorite.
I have been playing in Dylan’s games for sometime now and I have to say that he rivals any Dm I have ever played with. I know many people have worries about joining paid game’s wondering if they are really worth their time and money. I can tell you this here and now Dylan comes to his games as a professional. What do I mean by this? He takes your time and money serious. He is always prepared and knowledgeable enough to answer just about any question you may have about the game you are playing. Despite the number of games he runs it always feels like he has time for his players and does his best to ensure everyone has a good time. If you’re still reading this and I’ve convinced you he is the DM for you I implore you to go and check out what games he is currently hosting. Hope to see you join myself and others soon is fantastic games.
Dylan is great! Totally recommend. He’s patient with the newbies in the group (like me), and encouraging for our group to focus our adventures on what makes it fun for us. He’s responsive to feedback, as we let him know what we most liked and didn’t like in the beginning. My favorite parts of his style: he does excellent character voices, sound effects, and in-game music that helps us feel like we are in the story.
Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation will happen together in the VTT, that I will link to all players. We will make characters during session 0, so the players can work with each other to come up with a good team that they are all excited to play.
Variant Rules being used: Ancestry Paragon Free Archetype (With limitations) Deep Backgrounds Gradual Ability Boots Upon joining game, players will see a Discord link under prep materials. Once joining Discord server, myself or one of my mods will walk you to through getting added to the game chat for the game you have joined. VTT access and character creation will be done as a group in session 0, so that the party can be built as a group and we can find fun ways to link characters. Players joining a game after session 0 will have 1-on-1 paid session 0 with me to catch you up on the story, the party, variant rules being used, and help making a character and find a good way for them to be brought into the story that you are happy about.

Safety
How Dylan creates a safe table
Players can expect me a deep role playing experience with NPC's they can connect with. Prior to the game I ask all players to fill out a consent checklist and to return it to me. During session 0 we will make characters as a group as well as go over the safety rules implemented and familiarize the group with the VTT, and how the game will run and where the safety tools are located in the VTT( they are digital).
