About Tyler

I am a certified Art Teacher with an English Speakers of Other Languages endorsement as well as a Masters in Fine Arts. My 10 years of experience as a Game Master has ignited my drive to support the stories of players from around the world. My background as an artist allows for opportunities to create and incorporate custom artwork into my games and my career as a teacher has provided me with the patience, flexibility and tactfulness to manage groups effectively. I serve on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Improvement Team at the school that I work at and all my games are a safe space for LGBTQI+ players.

How Tyler runs games

Players can expect to be rewarded for unique and creative decisions that they make and see those decision make a real impact in the story and world. I utilize heroic inspiration as a reward for this creativity every chance that I get. I cater each game to the priorities and interests of each player; adjusting content, the division of role-playing, combat and exploration and the amount of sandboxing. Players can expect flexibility with the characters they create and a rules heavy or light approach based on the party's preference. I craft meticulous playlists to set the mood of each session and incorporate immersive and exciting maps. All in all the "Rule of Cool" is an overarching constant throughout all games that I support.
