About Tyler Dykstra

Hello I am new to this professional GM business but I have been doing this on and off for 10 years now starting when I was a teenager and now at the ripe old age of 27 I think it’s time I went pro so to speak, all my games that are paid will be streamed to my channel for archiving purposes never will I ask you to use a camera and i hope one day i can afford png avatars for characters in my games so i can do reactive art for viewing pleasure lets grow a wonderful table together if you have any questions you can always contact me @ totallynotasquirrel on discord

I became a GM because

I Love storytelling as a group more than anything

I got started GMing...

back when i was still in highschool online i started with dnd 3.5 then 5th edition then well after my disdain of running 5th edition i jumped to all sorts of systems

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Fun Loving Compassionate Just a Little Crazy XD

How Tyler Dykstra runs games

Depends on the game and campaign but generally I like high stakes combat, deep and meaningful roleplay, and player driven stories so lots of sandbox games I do that incorporate lots of a players background

Featured Prompts

My games focus on...

Story first Roleplay Second combat third, as i am in this to tell interesting character stories while prioritizing the fun of my players

Rules are...

Second to the Fun of my players if a rule is not very fun then i usually change it

When it comes to voices

when i can i love using voices but im by no means a professional voice actor like brennan or matt and i honestly dont expect you to be either

Tyler Dykstra's ideal table

So my table usually is filled with those looking for a good story, love roleplay, and enjoy learning new systems, that being said i will pretty much run everything except 5e for the most part unless theres a particularly good hack that changes alot of things about it, i really love mecha, horror, drama, anime, you name it and its apart of nerd culture i love it!, where was I? oh well im sure it wasn't something important haha

Featured Prompts

I am for a vibe that's...

welcoming of all people, generally a fun environment that will hopefully keep you engaged and participating

I love it when a player

Surprises me, the best thing you can do is not play into tropes and really make interesting character descisions because no one is a monolith

My table is not the place for...

Racism(regardless if its appropriate for the time period), Bigotry, Hatred, Naysaying, and rules lawyers probably won't like me playing alittle more loose with rules
