About me
Hello! My name is Kyran and I have been a forever Game Master for fifteen years; homebrewing, worldbuilding, and running modules for people of all ages and experience levels. I specialize in roleplay and dungeon crawling, so bring your silly voices and favorite d20s! For the last four years, I have run my own media production company which specializes in creating D&D content for platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Discord, and have a ton of bought assets and custom maps to make our game one that you will not forget!
GM Style
Primarily I enjoy running roleplay heavy games with a vast array of character voices and personalities mixed with intrigue and mystery. I have a lot of experience building and running exciting and well balanced combat encounters that always have a quirk or twist that makes players think tactically without too much punishment for wrong ideas or mistakes. (Unless you're into that kind of thing) As a creative writer, I enjoy crafting plots and social encounters that feel as real as possible, without railroading the party into social encounters or events. I've developed a system for moving the plot along at the pace the players are interested in, and have the ability to adjust on the fly to create as good of an experience as possible. The goal of my tables is to create a fun and rewarding experience that will keep players coming back and talking about my games.

Shaq
Allowing the players to be creative.
Jonathan
Fantastically clear well versed GM. Had a great fun one shot that had a really fun well thought out homebred story.
Coren
I've played in a few of The Bathrobe Wizards one-shots and had an absolute blast every time. He's always well prepared and very quick on his feet. The descriptions that he gives are engaging and just enough to have you always wanting to find out more. His pacing is very good as well. He has a knack for letting players role-play and knowing when things are dying down or finding just the right moment to put the pressure on.
Roke
Genuinely the best GM I have ever had. The story, the characters and the atmosphere Kyran creates are the best I have come across in D&D (including my own sessions). Playing in his one-shots has created some of my favourite D&D memories. I can only imagine how amazing a campaign would be.
Isyl
Has amazing maps and world ideas. Great story and is encouraging toward player's ideas. Clearly puts a lot of time and thought into his campaign, to come up with a clear and intriguing story.
Zyrga
Kyran is a fluent, fluid, and adaptable storyteller, confident enough to truly build his sessions around player involvement. When my character has a great dialogue, pulls a hilarious stunt at the bar, or does something unexpected, Kyran has the flexibility and enthusiasm to adapt his world and NPCs to reflect it, forming a truly immersive and responsive world state while maintaining the integrity and intrigue of his story. I've played under Kyran's DMing in dozens of games over the last 10 years, from one-session dungeon crawls to four-year-long epic homebrews, and each one has felt fleshed out, responsive, memorable, and downright meaningful.
