About me
Hey there! I'm deeply immersed in the world of tabletop roleplaying games, with over 15 years of experience in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. My journey began in a cozy local game store where I eagerly participated in RPG nights, immersing myself in fantastical realms and epic adventures. Around a decade ago, I took a leap of faith into the role of Dungeon Master (DM), feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. Little did I know that this decision would shape my passion and expertise in storytelling and world-building. As a DM, I found immense joy in crafting intricate narratives, designing challenging encounters, and witnessing the creativity of my fellow players as we collectively explored new horizons. Expanding beyond Dungeons & Dragons, I delved into the rich tapestry of Pathfinder, embracing the intricacies of its ruleset and the boundless possibilities it offers. As a Game Master (GM) in Pathfinder, I've honed my skills in improvisation, strategic thinking, and fostering a collaborative atmosphere where every player's voice is heard and valued. For me, tabletop RPGs aren't just games; they're portals to limitless imagination and camaraderie. Whether we're battling dragons in the depths of a dungeon or negotiating with powerful factions in a bustling city, every session is a journey into the unknown, fueled by friendship and shared storytelling.

Cynister made the game so much fun. She let the players be creative and challenge obstacles and puzzles in creative ways while keeping the game exciting. The sounds really added to the atmosphere and I was absolutely chilled at the climax of the story. Cynister plays family friendly games and fully supports new and experienced players both. My knowledge of the gaming platform increased SO much with her mentoring. This was my first full campaign and I will always hold it dear. Thank you, Cynister for helping me understand why D&D is such a great pastime.
Cyn is a fantastic DM who fully embraces the "rule of cool" and encourages player creativity at every turn. They have a knack for fostering a collaborative atmosphere where everyone's ideas shine, resulting in epic moments that leave players on the edge of their seats.
