About Zach Peyton

Welcome to my evil lair! I'm a player-agency-focused 5e DM that enjoys enabling players to run bonkers shenanigans. The first time I heard about TTRPGs was in my freshman year of college 6 years ago, and within the week I was playing with a group in my dorm. Now 6 years later I've been a GM for 3 and a half years, and I'm looking to run the game I would have wanted. A high stakes, 3.5 melded version of 5e where the players hit hard, the monsters hit harder, and the only thing scarier than the clash between them is the mystery brewing just around the corner.

How Zach Peyton runs games

I love a medium-well roleplay with large helping of mystery, interspersed with a perfectly cured selection of goosebumps inducing thrills and challenging combats rife with gimmicks, environmental mechanics, and scouting necessary to tackle obstacles.

Zach Peyton's ideal table

My ideal table is 4-6 boisterous people that enjoy telling a story, getting gritty with mechanics, and making dramatic scenes with impeccable banter.
