About Riley U.
Hi, I'm Riley! I've been a game designer as long as I can remember and started designing and running tabletop RPGs almost 20 years ago before I even knew how to properly run a D&D campaign and have been learning and growing ever since. Today, I'm an indie video game designer by trade and enjoy running tabletop games as well.

How Riley U. runs games
I strongly believe that tabletop roleplaying games are a collaborative storytelling experience and I enjoy taking the "yes and" approach whenever possible and fall back on "no, but" if I must. Rule of Cool always applies in games I run and I believe that if any rule isn't serving the core ideal of creating a fun experience together, it should be modified or thrown out entirely if needed. I do my very best to ensure a fun, safe, and collaborative environment. I have a strong background in improvisation, voice acting, and storytelling, bringing all of this to the table with me. You can expect from my games tales of adventure and bravery, a sense of humor and brevity, and moments of great emotional growth. But more than anything, my job is to work with my players to tell the story together. I use a Discord server equipped with music, and ambiance to provide an incredible experience along with often providing reference art, digital tokens, and maps, most of which I will draw myself. You can also expect some very fun and unique minigames from me which I program and code myself as well!
