About me

I started playing advanced dungeons and dragons when I was 11, GMing for my family and friends. I continued to DM and play across the years and united states, playing with many different styles of play and different groups of people. I have GM'd from Maine, to Guatemala, to Oregon. I am currently in a decade long group that formed out of weekly one shot adventures in a gaming store. I believe that the lasting connections we make while gaming can change the world for the better.

GM Style

I enjoy modifying the pace of games, role play and witty repartee between characters and NPC's. I'm a strong proponent of a living world, where the player characters actions modify the reactions of others and actions may have consequences and rewards. I enjoy attempting to use voices, theater of the mind, and graphic design knowledge to bring the world of the characters to life for players. The first priority is that everyone has fun

I've been playing with Dylan for almost a decade now. He's always coming up with clever responses to what the party throws at him. His style is very collaborative. You'd be a great GM for beginners or veterans alike. He's playful and creative, empathetic and sensitive, quick on his feet and accomplished with improvisation.

Dylan is a GM who's experienced with many different systems and styles. He focuses on helping players have the kind of game they want. He gets very enthusiastic about the story and npcs, but doesn't railroad things, and he always plays to find out what happens next, as driven by the players' choices.

My favorite part about gaming with Dylan is that he focuses on being and having fun, but is also able to tell stories that involve more than just surface level good vs evil.
