About Owen Conklin

I’m a gaming and donut geek who has loved games my entire life. As a professional storyteller, I came to TTRPG’s later in life. I’ve been playing and GM-ing for ten years including streaming live plays on Twitch and YouTube in a variety of games. I’m also a content creator and board enthusiast, and you will find me at many conventions. My style is a GM is to make interwoven worlds that operate and react around you. I like to make places living and breathing, but always with a space for players to explore. The rule of cool dominates my games with the hope that everyone has a smile even as the BBEG is terrifying in front of them. I run an inclusive table with safety tools, and preparation for everyone involved, and will actively make sure everyone is included. I care a lot about bringing people together through storytelling and time around the table. As for game experience I have worked through many things, including traditional D&D, world of darkness, blades in the dark and indie games. I’m always down for something new and fun.

I like immersive role-play so you feel like you were in a story, but I also like to make combat interesting. The rule of cool always wins along with discussions with what players would like out of their experience. I want to make you smile while we play.

Owen Conklin's ideal table

I like tables where everyone feels involved and a part of what's happening. I like tables where ground rules are set for safety and expectations of what people like in their games. I'll ask lots of questions and then look to take you on a ride in the world we are playing. In the end I hope you feel something
