About me
For over a decade, I've dedicated myself to the art of TTRPG storytelling, running weekly games for players of all experience levels. My philosophy as a Game Master is simple: I love creating cinematic, character-driven narratives where heroes aren't born, they're made. I thrive on guiding players from their humble origins to become legendary figures, ensuring every victory and every setback feels earned and meaningful. My expertise extends across a vast library of systems, allowing me to tailor the perfect game for your group. I am highly experienced in a multitude of games, including: Fantasy: D&D (all editions), Pathfinder, The Witcher TTRPG, One Ring 2e, Dragonbane, Cosmere, Legend in the Mist Sci-Fi: Starfinder, Star Wars FFG, Star Trek, Dune, Cyberpunk Red, Fallout 2d20 Horror & Mystery: Vampire: The Masquerade 5e, Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5e, Hunter: The Reckoning, Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green Superheroes & Modern: Marvel Multiverse, Masks: A New Generation, Kids on Brooms Narrative & Action: Blades in the Dark, Savage Worlds, Tales of Xadia, Avatar Whether you're looking to explore a classic fantasy world, navigate the neon-drenched streets of a cyberpunk future, or uncover cosmic horrors, I provide a professional, engaging, and unforgettable gaming experience. Let's tell a story that will be talked about for years to come.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen on a free website 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.
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.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need Discord as well as a free account on Forge.vtt. A working microphone is also required, and a camera is optional. No dice needed as we will roll dice in the VTT
What Dylan brings to the table
24/7 vtt (with premium Module) access for the players, as well as the players guide pdf will be sent to everyone. Players will be added to my discord which is full of helpful amazing people who love TTRPG's and are always happy to help.

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).
