About me
Greeting adventurers, investigators, and villains! If you're looking for horror games or exciting one-shots with a mix of action and roleplay you've come to the right place. Whether you are a beginner or experienced with TTRPGs, you have a seat at my table. As a DM, I love helping my players get involved in collaborative storytelling. Some of my favorite games to run are Call of Cthulhu, Alien, and Pirate Borg, but I love to play smaller systems that fewer people have heard of. If defeating Eldritch Horrors or skeletal pirates against all odds sounds compelling, I'd love to have you join one of my games.
GM Style
I encourage players to immerse themselves in the world and in their characters through a large amount of roleplay and fast-paced action. I very focused on improving the flow of combat, so no one is sitting around bored. Creative thinking is rewarded in game.

David
A fantastic Keeper! I've been playing with Isaiah for a few months now in a Call of Cthulhu campaign, and every session has been filled with fun and horror! Isaiah clearly does a lot of work to prep, but it does not show. He is ready for whatever we throw his way, and he makes sure to include everyone and spotlight individual characters as the plots develop and grow. He also does a great job of sprinkling clues, scary reveals, and keeping the session moving while leaning into the eldritch horror. Highly recommended!
Myra
Isaiah is a fantastic DM — knowledgeable, patient, creative and excellent at bringing a group of people together to tell a story. He takes the time/energy to make spaces feel safe and welcome, and clearly has the chops to make incredible games with both beginner and experienced players. I'm currently playing in a campaign he's running and I really look forward to every game. C:

Isaiah is a great GM! The games he runs are FUN. They are fun because he is well prepared, gives players opportunities to be creative individually and collectively, and builds the story alongside the players.
Samantha Auch
Isaiah is such a great GM - creative, collaborative, and welcoming to everyone. He maintains a good balance between combat and role play, and he’s especially amazing at a crafting terrifying moments of horror. I especially love the care he takes to weave PCs backstories into his games. Highly recommend joining one of his games for a great story, lots of horror and adventures, and many laughs.
Hans
Isiah knows how to set a mood for a game, help players with the rules, and spark creativity in the direction the game and players demand. Lots of fun!
Beshural
Now this is an absolute master of the craft—stellar storytelling, wondrous world-building, and friendly to all comers. What a facility with game systems and social dynamics! Through his lyrical wordscapes, generous preparation, and keen improvisational skills, Isaiah Bird weaves a web of whimsy and woe, simultaneously bolstering novices and challenging experts. I cannot recommend this GM’s services enough.
