About me

Hey! I'm Dyer, I've been playing RPGs for going on 30 years, my older brother started playing them with me before i hit double digits and I'm familiar with a wide variety of games. I am a progressive, non-adversarial GM that believes in player agency and table safety. I also absolutely love teaching people new games, and thought this would be a great way to do that.

GM Style

I am a progressive, non adversarial GM that believes in table comfort and safety, player agency. I'm versatile in playing combat or role play heavy games, though i far prefer fast paced combat to chunky/mathy combat in combat games. Happy to teach systems and Foundry to new players! Longer games open for negotiation at a higher price

Dyer has been incredibly patient and super nice while helping me learn Pathfinder 2E. His communication skills are excellent, making it easy to understand the rules and stay engaged in the game. He creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere that makes every session a blast. Whether you're new to the system or an experienced player, I highly recommend joining one of his games!

Dyer runs an excellent game that weaves not only the narrative but also pays close attention to the players backgrounds and the ways in which they fit into the current campaign to add to an already impressive running story. Can't go wrong taking a seat at the table when he is the GM

Dyer was a blast to play with. We did a session of Fabula Ultima in Forge VTT -- both of which I haven't used before -- and he did an outstanding job of both prepping the session with a lot of high-quality assets, and running the starter adventure in a smooth way that made all the mechanics feel effortless. Had a great time and would recommend.

Dyer is great fun to have as a GM! He knows the rules well but leaves some liberty for “rule of cool” and story first. He’s able to keep combat balanced and engaging even when his groups are on the larger end.

Dyer is a great GM. He certainly knows his stuff, and is always willing to accommodate any kind of playstyle and crazy idea you may have. He's great at pacing and keeping everyone interested with his descriptions and not dwelling too long on scenes. My favorite phrase of his is "that's not how it supposed to work, but that's cool, so we're gonna do it"
