About me
I am a lifelong nerd who has enjoyed copious amounts of video games, board games, books, movies, comics, tabletop and general nerd/geek culture since I was a kid. I was extremely reserved in elementary school and I, like many others, found solace in things that tantalized my imagination and connected me with others who felt the same. Fantasy culture has been a huge part of my life ever since. I've been writing fantasy and science fiction since I was 14 (now 18 years) and I've been playing and running RPGs since 2008 (13 years). I have a deep love for storytelling, art, and hanging out with great people. D&D checks all three boxes for me and I look forward to meeting a lot of great players here!
GM Style
I have a theatre background and I'm a writer. Creating characters that feel real and bringing them to life is my bread and butter. I adapt those characters to exploration, combat, or roleplay to fit what the party likes to do the most. I always give voices to NPCs to keep things interesting as well, and I encourage (not required) my players to do the same with their characters. I've also got a great memory for remembering rules, details, and specifications on monsters and such. My games are always based on respect of the other people playing. This means no murder hoboing, no hate speech or behavior, no being massively distracting/distracted all the time, and in general anything else that is very disruptive to the game or that would make someone feel uncomfortable.

If you're reading this because you can't decide if you want to join a Cryowind game -- you do. Every session has been well worth it and I've been playing in two weekly games for over a year now. This is the complete package. Rich storytelling, practiced improvisation, awesome interactive online battlemaps, cool NPC voices, knowledge of the rules, and the rule of cool. They have everything you would expect in a top-shelf DM/GM. There's limited spots, so if you see one open, I'd recommend rolling initiative.

If you are looking for a DM who wants to help bring your character to life and let you step in their shoes. Look no further as Morgan is the DM you are looking for. I started playing D&D with Morgan as my DM for my first game and since then I have fallen in love with D&D and brought life to the characters alongside Morgan! He is extremely helpful when it comes to character building, and he has a way with his storytelling to bring parts of all the players' characters to life. I look forward every week to our session to see what amazing storytelling Morgan has for us.

Running sessions with Cryo is an amazing experience. He's engaging and passionate, and everyone at the table has their moments to shine. He's very flexible with what the party wants to do while still making it feel like the story progresses. If you're looking for a DM who's professional, passionate, patient, and respectful, Cryo is the one.
