About me

Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to check out my profile and games. I’m a seasoned Game Master with nearly 40 years of RPG experience under my belt. During this time I have run various systems covering various genres, from classic D&D fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and everything inbetween; though horror games are my personal favourite I am always open to requests for specific games/scenarios. Over the past four years, I’ve focused on running immersive games online, captivating players with my love for storytelling and horror. I take great care in crafting each session, utilizing Foundry VTT and Alchemy VTT to create a visually stunning and atmospheric experience. Everything, bar your computer and a headset, you need to play will be provided. Session Zeros are always free so we can discuss the games and highlight any potential issues before you pay for anything. Players of all levels of experience are welcome at the table, and I am more than happy to run games specifically for introducing new players to a system. I also run games for various actual play Twitch/You Tube channels, so if you want a taste of what is on offer please check out some of the sessions I have run by following the links below, just look for games with GM Dylath/Phil.I.Am: https://www.twitch.tv/infinitemonkeytales https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUWmASV-IOkWZKGCTJrYvYxnoyPG1uHcT https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUWmASV-IOkWCNbG1LHiaOAQ4ZkENo0Dp https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUWmASV-IOkWfUuKLtXf6pH6qe-85pGER https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUWmASV-IOkVJpNjTER6yLdmeInPQBqTj

GM Style

Storytelling is at the heart of my games. I create rich narratives where player choices matter, balancing combat and roleplay to keep sessions dynamic and engaging. Whether you’re a newcomer or a veteran, I ensure everyone has a role in the unfolding story. My games are flexible, adapting to your group’s preferences while maintaining a strong focus on atmosphere and immersion. Ready to embark on a new adventure? Check out my previous sessions for various streamers on Twitch and YouTube (Infinite Monkey Tales, Horrorific Podcast, RxOliver, Brotherhood of the Dice) to get a taste of the worlds we can explore together!

Dylath facilitates immersive role-play and brings the world around the players to life with stunning visual aids and descriptions; players taste the food and smell the streets, and interact with NPCs who are engaged in the unfolding adventure. Probably not the guy for murder hobos, for great for the rest of us!

Just wow. One of the best role playing experiences I have had in 30 years of the hobby. Excellent atmosphere, immersive scene setting, well played NPCs and engaging storytelling. Wonderful GM!

Dylath is an incredible DM. He gets really into the heart of the scenario with images, music and intense characterisation. He’s not afraid to let the story breathe and the players develop their own paths, and it never feels railroaded. He’s great at making sure everyone’s involved, and it’s always feels like a collaborative storytelling experience rather than adversarial. He has a rich understanding of psychological horror and terror that never trips into being gratuitous, but also a verisimilitude of Keeping which makes it feel like his players are being immersed in a world barely a shade away from our own.

Dylath is a great DM. Great sense of humour. Gives players plenty of freedom in how they approach the game.
