About me
My name is Ryan and I have frankly been obsessed with storytelling since childhood. I often preferred worlds fantastical and imagined rather than the one we find ourselves mired in. I love a good story. Defiant protagonists. Dastardly villains. And, daring adventures. The whole lot fascinated me. I remember early on story time spanned hours with my parents. Then I began to read on my own, encountering my own protagonists, villains, and adventures in the wee witching hours of the night. Yet, I also learned to enjoy history thanks to my Grandpa Mac. He taught an appreciation and a love for history. History fascinated me, with its twists and turned, and intricate plots all woven into one immense tapestry. For me, history is a story as well, sometimes an untold story until stumbled upon in lost tomes and dreary archives. History is a story of human perseverance as our species journeys through time. History also taught me that story arches are not so well defined in real life. The lines between protagonists and villains are blurred. The story is complicated, lending an ear to a more dynamic world. History and fantasy can be worlds in twin realities. Both feature storytellers and legend-makers.

What Ryan brings to the table
With rich historical knowledge and excellent storytelling, this group driven narrative propels characters through a thrilling story on the high seas, through misty jungles, and bustling port towns. Players can expect some voices, plenty of ambient music, intense combat, and powerful stories. I embrace the approach that the story comes first, as long as players are having fun and enjoying the game, the rules are "more what you'd call 'guidelines' than actual rules" to quote Captain Barbossa.

How Ryan creates a safe table
