About me
With over a decade of GM experience, Tyler (sometimes referred to as Guru) excels at making every single player at a table feel welcome and works with each and every one of them to ensure that their characters get to shine in their own way. He can also hold his own with veteran players, facilitating complex, dynamic encounters and engrossing storylines. If you enjoy roleplaying or battles with a twist, take a seat and break out the digital dice.
GM Style
Loves to Roleplay. Enjoys narration, voice-acting, and character performances. Mostly runs theater of the mind but can quickly assemble challenging maps and scenarios if need be. Extremely welcoming and new player friendly. Knows the rules well but is willing to homebrew and compromise for reasonable requests.

Guru's an engaging GM who knows the game well and uses that to create a compelling atmosphere. I'm currently in a Curse of Strahd game he's running and his portrayal of Death House genuinely had the party on the edge of our seats. He keeps the game moving while allowing plenty of opportunity for inter-party interactions and roleplay, and isn't afraid to deviate from a module when it's needed, such as changing out an area boss fight for something more thematically appropriate.
I'd like to tell you about my buddy, who is a remarkable Game Master (GM) for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). Even though I haven't personally played any games myself, I've had the privilege of sitting in on countless hours of his D&D sessions as a Game Master for the community. Let me share with you what makes his games truly special. First and foremost, what's great about his games is his extraordinary storytelling ability. He has a unique talent for creating immersive and captivating experiences in the world of D&D. Whether you're delving into mysterious dungeons, negotiating with intriguing NPCs, or battling formidable monsters, every moment feels like a thrilling adventure. If you're considering joining one of his games, I wholeheartedly recommend it. He's not just a GM; he's a world-builder. He takes great care in crafting fun and engaging stories that accommodate both new players and veterans of the game. His dedication to making the D&D experience enjoyable for everyone is truly commendable. If you're new to D&D, you'll find his patient and accommodating nature reassuring. He'll guide you through character creation, rules, and gameplay, ensuring you have a smooth introduction to the game. Veterans of D&D will appreciate his creative and unpredictable storytelling. His campaigns are rich in lore and challenge, offering a fresh and engaging experience even to seasoned players. If you love a good story and immersive world-building, you'll be in for a treat. His ability to craft intricate narratives and memorable moments is a hallmark of his GM style. His games are known for their inclusivity. He fosters a welcoming and friendly environment where players of all backgrounds and identities feel respected and valued. In essence, anyone who enjoys a well-crafted story, collaborative gameplay, and a sense of adventure will find themselves right at home in his campaigns. If you love D&D or are looking to get into it, he's the GM you've been searching for.
I got to play in a multi-session Cyberpunk RED game and had an absolute blast. Not only does this GM know his stuff, he's great at story telling, understands how to set boundaries according to player needs, and will help you with any questions you may have. Not to mention he's helped set up scenarios in our game for cool, memorable moments. If you get a chance to sit at a table with this GM, you will have a blast of a good time.
