About me
Hello, aspiring Adventurers! Stories and storytelling has been a major part of my life since I was a child. I love building a story alongside others, helping guide them through a shared narrative adventure! For me it's not about the endpoint, but rather the exciting journey that we embark upon together. Outside of nerdy RPG endeavors, I'm an avid outdoors person and have lived, worked and taught in nature for much of my adult life. I've worked in adventure summer camps, helped build new trails in the wilderness, and have gone several months in a row living in the trees away from civilization. I have greatly enjoyed the experience of meeting people from all experience levels and from all over the world. I hope you join me on the next adventure!
GM Style
My focus as a Game Master is always the players first, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable as well as connected to the story. I enjoy a great story more than any idea of someone 'winning' - for me, success is seeing players delight at exploring a shared, collaboratively built world, one they can't wait to continue learning more about. I am very much a "Rule of Cool" kind of GM, and celebrate creative, out-of the box thinking. During combat I employ a number of quality of life tools and homebrew rules, so that we can get an equal amount of RP and exploration as combat. When you join me as a player, I want to be your cheerleader, and I'm excited to be there to guide you through epic, unique landscapes full of interesting places and peoples!

Kyle is one of the best DMs I have ever had run a campaign. He puts a lot of thought, commitment, and creativity into each session. One of my favorite moments is when he helped me create and shape a character to fit and be from the current campaign setting. I highly recommend him for New Players and Returning Players. Thank you Kyle for everything!

Playing with Kyle has been of the most satisfying and fun experiences I've ever had! He creates the most immersive characters and storylines and always allows his players to be creative . He's so kind and patient and truly such a delightful and warm human being. Can't recommend him enough for both brand new and returning players.

I was new to this game system and Abominable was tremendously helpful and patient. He's a great GM, striking a balance between sharing lore, building a narrative and creating space for character development. Highly recommend this GM.
