About me

As a DM/GM of 8 years and a well-reviewed RPG writer, I'm excited to bring my skills to your (virtual) gaming table! You can take a look at some of my writing here: https://ryanswriter.carrd.co In terms of how I run a game, I try to be flexible to my players' needs. I've run dry, serious, and gory Curse of Strahd campaigns, and goofy, joke-filled, breezy Star Wars campaigns. I tend towards the "spirit of the rules" more than "the letter of the rules". I enjoy collaborating with players to build the world and keeping a spirit of lightness OOC. If you're on the fence about booking a session, I can get you in touch with a number of happy players who would be glad to vouch for me! Here are some other things to keep in mind! I lead groups of 2-6 players through each session. Each new campaign or game setting requires a mandatory session 0 before play can begin; to set expectations, familiarize ourselves with each other and the setting, and talk about safe playing practices. I strongly prefer to use the Foundry or Roll20 VTT. Tell me ASAP if you do not. I reserve the right to end a session without refund if I or any other player feels unsafe or abused at the hands of the group.
