About me
What I love about DND is building a magical world full of wonder, dragons, and humor. I've always been a writer at heart. I love finding new and engaging ways to lead adventures through the maelstrom of my limitless imagination. It's legitimately one of my favorite activities. I've been running games since 2017(over 260 hours on Roll20!) after a life long obsession spurred from inheriting a set of 3.5e rulebooks from my dad. My game master specialties are coming up with cool magic items, monsters, and lore filled locations for my players to explore. My worlds are rich in flavor and brought to life by detailed sensory information. My games generally focus on exploration and combat. I run my games how I play, I am not focused on roleplay, but I also don't skip it. There's no pressure to put on a whole character voice at this table, not everyone enjoys that kind of thing. As far as rule of cool vs RAW(rules as written) I generally use a mix. If I don't like a rule I will likely find a homebrew workaround or create one that suits my needs. I love designing monsters and characters, and I worldbuild in my spare time. I've never run a module, I only just recently got the core rulebooks for Christmas 2021 because I'd been doing everything through the Internet. It was more of a formality. My original campaign setting(Dragod's Plane) is filled with dragons of every shape, size, and inspiration. I plan to PUBLISH a couple campaign setting/modules myself, I have no interest in running prewritten adventures. I am looking for players who love to explore unique locales and fight bizarre monsters!
GM Style
I enjoy making interesting encounters and locations to explore. I homebrew lots of magic items and monsters to try and shake things up from what players might be expecting. My original campaign is heavily dragon focused because I love creature design, it's my favorite thing to do.

Deborah VanDetta
Tyler is a great GM to play with. Games with interesting monsters and plot lines, action-driven but still with opportunities for exploration and role-play. Tyler is adaptable with various levels of the player experience; good with beginners for learning rules and game mechanics, and ready to go with the rule of cool in really fun ways.
Ajak
Dms a great and unique homebrew, every session feels inviting and exciting. knows the rules really well and rarely needs external recourses.
Nathan youknowwho
i had a lot of fun playing in this game, he allowed me to do some pretty dumb stuff, and i think it's obvious we were just trying to have fun, which is something that can be boiled down to a great DM, so his balance between fun and rules, is pretty much perfect, great DM, very forgiving, and patient, fun one-run :)
Jeffrey
Really fun fights and interesting designs and layouts for dungeons and over-world exploration. GM was great at explaining the world and what was happening around us really easy to get into the vibes of the campaign.
Tommy
He is an incredible world builder with detail-rich storylines and characters, great storytelling, and uses visual aides whenever possible. He is incredibly knowledgeable of the rules and happy to both explain them and also listen to any questions or ideas anyone might have. Being creative himself, his games are very unique and fun, and he encourages others to be as creative as they want (within the rules of course). He's open and accepting to all types of players with any level of experience. He is patient, informative, strict but fair, and genuinely just loves D&D. Highly recommend him for creative worlds and loads of fun.
