About Meyrden
Welcome, traveler! I’m Aaron — your potential ttrpg guide, nightmare wrangler, and architect of fantastical mayhem. I’m currently based in Germany (yes, land of pretzels and punctuality), which makes me a great match for fellow early risers, night owls, or anyone looking for a time-slot-friendly GM outside standard U.S. hours. I specialize in rich, homebrew worlds like my recently created setting, Somnia — a realm of dreams and nightmares, mysterious idols, and beautifully broken characters. My games strike a balance between roleplay-heavy drama, tactical combat, and occasional chaos goblin energy (from the NPCs, obviously). Whether you’re brand new or a 100-session vet, I’ll help you feel right at home — and then promptly throw that home into a realm of arcane mist and moral dilemmas. Come for the story. Stay for the trauma bonding. And snacks. Bring snacks...

How Meyrden runs games
My GM style is a blend of cinematic storytelling, collaborative worldbuilding, and crunchy, tactical combat — all wrapped in a fantasy bow with just the right amount of weird. I love giving players room to explore their characters while weaving their choices directly into the narrative. I’m big on immersion — custom maps, homebrew creatures, and original lore are part of the experience. Roleplay is always welcome at my table, and I reward creativity over min-maxing. Expect memorable NPCs, moral dilemmas, layered factions, and a setting that evolves with your actions. Whether we’re facing eldritch horrors in the dreamlands or debating the ethics of befriending a sentient mushroom, I aim to create a safe, engaging space where you’ll laugh, cry, fight, and feel like your story matters.

Meyrden's ideal table
Immersive. Theater of the Mind. I must have music to contribute to the vibe and immersion of the story we are all telling together.

I love it when a player
does something completely unexpected that wonderfully and drastically shifts the narrative or contributes to the tone of a scene.
I think it's a red flag when players...
is overly intoxicated and disruptive at the table.
