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 be done in session 0 as a group. 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, 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
Discord, and a working microphone.
What Dylan brings to the table
VTT with player access at all times. I used a voice changer for more otherworldly voices, and I try my hand at character voices for the rest. I have catered music for every game, and players will be able to make requests of music for character moments. Players can expect tactical and immersive combat, as well as deep RP. We will be using Foundry VTT until Alchemy adds Deadlands to their system, or I am able to make a homebrew Alchemy module for Deadlands

Safety
How Dylan creates a safe table
All players will fill out a Lines and Veils sheet, and I will work with that for the campaign development. During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils, along with X card safety tools. Deadlands is a historical drama TTRPG, and as such does have some prejudice amongst the campaign, but player characters will not be among the people who do that, and it will only be used as a way to show negative qualities among the people who believe/think that way.
