Game style

Theater of the Mind

β€œTheater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Ryne is a very skilled GM, especially catering to Critical role/Exandria lovers. Very immersive roleplay skill and mood /atmosphere setting when in session. Very good at blending rules with rule of cool and highly supportive of character/players flair, quirks, and style. Easily recommend for others

I am a new player to DND but have had a very welcoming and positive experience. Ryne has a warm and light-hearted personality that makes each session fun. He is open to player creativity and is excellent with improve. Although he does not use a lot of visuals, they are not needed as Ryne's descriptions are very vivid. Always lots of laughs during our session.

Ryne does an excellent job of creating a welcoming atmosphere for both new and experienced players. He is an experienced, knowledgeable DM who keeps the game moving and fun while allowing players plenty of latitude to develop their character's eccentricities. I have thoroughly enjoyed the sessions of this campaign and look forward to many more.

Having not played D&D in a number of years I was rather hesitant to get back involved. Ryne was phenomenally welcoming & understanding with my trying to get to grips with a class I’d never played before. He keeps everyone engaged whilst also allowing the players to run off down their own tangents. Would heartily recommend for both new and longer in the tooth players!

Since I've began a campaign with Ryne I can say that I've enjoyed every session! I always come in excited and he's accepted more than a few of my unconventional ideas! When playing in his sessions I feel like I'm in a safe and friendly environment and I have fun being goofy and playing my goofy character! I have social anxiety disorder and rarely if ever have I felt like I can't be open, DND has really allowed me to open up and playing with Ryne has certainly helped make me even more confident in myself.

Ryne is a great fun-oriented GM who tries his best to make the player characters feel like they're a part of their world and that their out of the box decisions actually make a difference. I've only had a few sessions so far but it has been a blast.

Additional details

How to prepare

Only thing I require is a CPU that can run Foundry and a web cam and mic.

What I provide

I run everything through Discord/Zoom and Foundry VTT. I use Kenku FM for music and background effects. I have a background in Improv Comedy so I commit to character choices including accents/dialects but don't require any of that for my players. Immersion is a point of emphasis in all the games that I run.

Gameplay details

We use discord for all our resources and materials. I will cover all our safety tools during session zero.
