About Ryan

I aim to create an immersive and engaging experience. I don't want this to be just a weekly "Kill 1 monster and mark off a task" adventure. I want the characters and NPC's to feel alive and for the players to feel that their actions have real impacts. If you enjoy bringing your character to life, then this is the game for you. My campaign will be an inclusive and friendly place. It should go without saying that there will be zero tolerance for racism, sexism, homophobia, and any kind of exclusion or harassment.

I became a GM because

I love to bring the world to life for others. Creating a memorable story where your decisions actually have an impact is one of the reasons I think TTRPG's are so special.

My favorite shows/movies are

varied. I am a big fan of fantasy and horror and romance. Some of my top mentions are Arcane, Andor, LOTR, Castlevania, and Frieren.

When I'm not running games I'm...

looking for inspiration and world-building.

How Ryan runs games

I love to have an RP heavy game. I want to create a world where your interactions with the NPC's feel real and rewarding. I believe NPC's should have goals and try to reach them instead of ceasing to exist when the players aren't around. That's not to say that I don't equally love combat. Very few things are as exhilarating as a tense combat that tests the skills of the PC's. I love having tactics and welcome strategic plans from players. After all, just walking up to an enemy and standing there until they die, rinse, and repeat isn't very immersive.

Ryan's ideal table

People who are simply excited to play. You don't have to be the best roleplayer or know the game super well. As long as you are looking forward to engaging with the world and each other, that's all I look for.
