About Devyn King

My name is Devyn King and Roleplaying is my passion! I love collaborative based storytelling, and seeing the story unfold in ways no one could predict. I've been playing TTRPGS for 10 years, and GM-ing for 5. I love making my own worlds and stories for my players to explore, and creating enriching, roleplay heavy environments for memorable games. I like D&D, Mage: The Ascension, and Starwars D6

I became a GM because

How Devyn King runs games

In my games, you can expect big, adventurous stories set in homebrew worlds where roleplay takes center stage, but exploration and tactical, cinematic combat are always part of the journey. I love building collaborative tables that honor the rules while leaving room for the “rule of cool” when it makes a scene shine. My focus is on creating a space where players feel fulfilled, immersed, and free to chase the fantasy they want whether that’s awe, laughter, or moments of wonder. I’m flexible with pacing and spotlight: like any great story, not every scene is balanced evenly, but I make sure no one is left behind. You’ll see maps, props, character voices, music, and plenty of animated energy from me as a GM. I craft custom monsters, items, and encounters that challenge players while staying adaptable to their choices and creativity. My goal is always to keep the story alive and fun, even if it means adjusting on the fly to maximize the joy at the table. Above all, I’m committed to making sure every player leaves each session with a sense of adventure, connection, and excitement for what’s next.

I deal with rules issues by...

I am pretty keen on the rules most of the time. If there is a disagreement about a rule, my interpretation is the one that is final. this however is different from Rule of Cool activites, in which I encourage breaking the rules in fun and interesting ways. Everything is good in moderation, however.

I prep by

I spend a few hours where I can spare throughout the day to write narrative plot points, design encounters, design creatures and magic items, and put it all together.

My games focus on...

My games focus on grandiose, epic adventure, centered on the players, and their trials and tribulations through the world. I like to explore character development, and I love the hero's journey archetype.
