About CryptMaster

I have been running TTRPG campaigns since 2015. Started as a player, then moved up to running a session once every couple weeks. Now I'm doing it weekly, and I can't get enough. I love to write and build worlds, and this lets me be every character I've ever written. I'm happy as the Forever DM, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my worlds with others!

Featured Prompts

I became a GM because

I love to create universes and spend tons of time building cultures, lore, backgrounds, and timelines for the universes I craft. Entire series of books wrapped up in each universe, and enough goofy characters to keep it all interesting. It can range from space stuff to fantasy stuff!

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition, the Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, and the Pathfinder/Starfinder systems.

My favorite books are

The Mistborn series, the Codex Alera series, the Redwall series, the DUNE series (mainly the first 3 books cuz them other books be BANANAS!), the Starships Mage series, every book written by Will Wight, and the Red Rising series.

How CryptMaster runs games

I tend to follow the Rule of Cool to a certain extent until it looks as if whatever is about to happen is neither realistic or something that character is capable of doing. My games focus more on roleplaying and having fun over lots of combat and doing math about experience gain. I'm here to give you a great world to partake in, and while I'm not good with voices, I'll try. I am all about the theater of the mind, and while some systems are great for that, others are not. I will roll with the punches and do what I can with what I have. My worlds are full of humor and lightness - save for some select few - where the intent is for laughter and fun rather than difficulty and unfairness. I avoid whatever topics may be triggers for my players. I do homebrew settings, rarely keeping with the setting provided by the source material. Long campaigns over one-shots.
