About me
🎲 “Hold on, let me roll Persuasion first… success!” Hello, I’m Tyler — a storyteller, designer, and lifelong gamer with decades of experience behind the screen. My players describe me as Immersive, Supportive, and Masterful. I’ve guided hundreds of players through unforgettable games at conventions, on streams and podcasts, and in home campaigns across North and South America. I’ve collaborated with publishers like Onyx Path, Free League, Chaosium, and Helmgast, and I’m also a published writer and designer with credits in both indie and professional TTRPG projects. Whether it’s your first session or your hundredth, my goal is always the same: create a safe, inclusive space where your story matters. I invite you to explore my reviews and join a game to see why so many players return to my tables again and again.

Creating your character
Character creation is a collaborative process. We'll meet during our free Session 0 to build your characters and deeply integrate them into the world. If you join later, we will work together to create your character in my Discord prior to your first session. As a game designer, I will personally work with you to ensure your character's concept, backstory, and motivations have a meaningful and satisfying impact on the campaign's narrative. You may use official 5e options plus material unique to this campaign module.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Bring a mic, a spirit for storytelling, and a taste for adventure!
What Tyler brings to the table
I’ll provide a fully prepped Foundry VTT with moody maps, matching tokens for all players and an atmospheric soundtrack to sink you into the story. Expect a narrative style that keeps the tension sharp. PDFs will be available for reference. My focus is on deep immersion, collaborative storytelling, and player-driven narratives. You can expect rich worlds, dramatic twists, and characters who feel alive. "Failing Forward" is the Rule: Setbacks create drama, not dead ends. My job is to bring the world and NPCs to life while making sure your character shines. I'm Not Your Adversary: We are here to tell unforgettable stories. I love it when a player takes bold risks and leans into their character's flaws.

Safety
How Tyler creates a safe table
Player safety is a priority. We’ll use Lines & Veils, X/N/O cards (digital or physical), and a full safety discussion to set boundaries. Expect a supportive, inclusive table where folk horror can be terrifying but never unsafe.
