About me

Born at a very young age, I was marked from my youth, cursed to be sired by a "Role-player". My destiny was sealed that fateful day. For years, this passion lay dormant, until my foolish brother, having unearthed the tomes hidden in our home, began... to play. He hosted a game on my birthday, allowing me to invite a friend to play the legendary "Sunless Citadel". The day I met Meepo the Kobold, I knew this was my calling. For over 20 years now, I have honed my body and mind to perfect the art of TTRPG. While others studied the blade, I read the monster manual. While some played sports, I learned the the formulas necessary to calculate ability scores and spell slots. If you need a guide to the other side of that magical door that is immersive roleplaying, I hope to assist in this, the most honorable of goals. To me, TTRPGs have always represented a unique opportunity to explore powerful situations and emotions that our lives might not otherwise present the opportunity to explore. It can be a powerful emotional tool in difficult times in life, and it can be a great way to just hang out with some buds and have low-stakes, goofy fun. Both are good, and both are valid. I strive to create a fun and inclusive space for anybody interested in the hobby, regardless of background or skill level. Roleplaying means a lot of different things to different people, but diversity is what makes it fun!

GM Style

I prefer a style of games that focuses on compelling narrative that is achieved by player and GM contributions. Handing over creative control to players is, sometimes, a scary thing, but often results in the most incredible of invention that feel more like a team effort than a story designed and run by one. So, come prepared to answer questions and get creative!

Killian does an absolutely fantastic job as a DM. He is constantly looking to add things to bring more immersion or fun to the sessions, will work with you on just about anything you want to do, and has even come up with some great ideas to help support me doing things I didn't think were possible. He is very open to feedback and is a great partner in this collaborative storytelling experience.

Killian is a seasoned dm who flourishes in story telling, his table is safe and inclusive and great for beginners. He on multiple occasions has walked players through things we are unsure of- he’s creative and a very capable dm!
