What Ryan brings to the table
I play using and DndBeyond I love the role play aspect of TTRPGS. What I lack in voices I make up in sound effects. I try to paint as vivid of a picture of the scene as I can with music and ambient sounds. I reward & encourage committed role play and creative combat and out of the box strategy. I embrace “Rule of cool” as long as it makes sense for the story we are all trying to tell.
