About Devin
Hello! My name is Devin and I love bringing people together to create unforgettable stories. Whether it's a desperate stand against impossible odds or a plan that definitely should not work but somehow does through a series of successful dice rolls, the unexpected moments are what keep bringing me back to the table again and again. I've been playing tabletop RPGs since the early 90s and have spent the past five years almost exclusively behind the GM screen. My favorite systems are D&D 5e, Call of Cthulhu, and the Cosmere RPG, though I'm always excited to explore new games like Daggerheart and Draw Steel. As a GM, I thrive on player creativity and agency. I love seeing a party surprise me with an unexpected solution, an outrageous plan, or an emotional character moment that sends the story in a direction none of us saw coming. My games tend to blend high-stakes adventures and cinematic storytelling with plenty of room for laughter, clever problem-solving, and the occasional ridiculous shenanigan. Every table is an opportunity to build a welcoming community where everyone feels comfortable and respected. Whether you're a first-time player or a seasoned veteran, my goal is to create an inclusive environment where every character matters and every player has the chance to shine. If you're looking for a game where your choices shape the story, your ideas are embraced, and everyone leaves the table with memories worth talking about, I'd love to roll some dice with you.

I started running games because...
At first it was because the group I was playing with lost our GM. Then I found out that I actually love it. Then it grew into my way to share great stories and to build little communities
My favorite books are
The Iliad The Lord of the Rings The Mistborn Trilogy The Stormlight Archives The First Law Trilogy
When I'm not running games I'm...
usually doing one of the following: - spending time with my family - endlessly throwing a ball for my dogs - reading - resisting the overwhelming temptation to buy new TTRPG material
How Devin runs games
I strive for a healthy balance of roleplaying and combat in my games. With roleplay I want players to have ownership and personal stakes for their characters within the larger narrative. I work with players to weave elements of their character backstories into the campaign, allowing for personal goals and character growth alongside the larger party goals. I love dynamic and creative combat where players feel like they can use the environment or try something different. Do you want to try something risky and potentially life-threatening for your character? Yes, please. Do you want to thorn whip that goblin and see if you can pull him into the bonfire? I desperately want to see how that turns out. At the end of the day, as a GM, I want my players to have a fun and rewarding experience.

I love it when a player
comes up with creative solutions, whether that's in combat or in a roleplaying situation. Creativity pushes things in unforeseen directions and is often where some of the most memorable moments happen at a table.
I think metagaming...
takes all the fun out of roleplaying
I think min/maxing...
is a perfectly valid way to play and can be a lot fun for those that love crunching those numbers.
