About me

Hello! My name is Tyler, I’ve been an avid player of D&D and Pathfinder for nearly 18 years and have been a dedicated Dungeon Master for over 12 of those years now. As the forever DM for my real-life groups, I bring extensive experience in running Modules, Adventure Paths, and creating Homebrew content. I also have a strong background in improvisation and minor voice acting, which I incorporate into my games to enhance the experience. I’m highly proficient with Roll20, having logged over 1,600 hours on the platform. My goal is to make every session memorable and engaging for all players. DM Style: I adhere to the “rule of cool”—if it doesn't disrupt the game, I'm all for allowing it. We won’t be bogging down the fun with meticulous tracking of rations or ammunition.

GM Style

Rule of Cool. You want your monk to jump off the ledge and round house kick the lich?! Okay sure, let's see those rolls! While I like to introduce humor into my sessions when I can. I also love to throw in moral dilemmas and hard decisions at the party as well. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll make some great memories! I dont like tracking rations and ammunition, I also like to speed up camp/travel time. (I'd rather us play out the campaign and fight bad guys over hunting for food and gathering fire wood).

Great DM who is patient and inclusive for all. Really enjoys working with the players to fully realize their characters and willing to work with his players to bring their vision of their character into the game.

Tyler has great DM skills, is very welcoming at the table, and keeps the group involved in roleplay. Combat scenarios are good also. He also went the extra mile of creating unique side quests, when he knew the there would be players out on vacation. That was actually the most memorable of encounters, because he really rewarded the diehards for being there in a small group adventure. Best $5 I ever spent on a weekly session. A+
