About me
Hello! My name is Dylan. I discovered the wonder of TTRPG games in 2016, and have been playing non stop since. I have been a GM since the onset of my addiction. I have run games in 5e, Pathfinder 1e/2e, Starfinder, Witcher TTRPG, Vampire Masquerade 5e, Savage worlds system, Werewolf the Apocalypse 5e, Hunter the Reckoning, Star Wars FFG, Fallout 2d20, Dune, Star Trek, Tales of Xadia, Avatar, Blades in the Dark, and others. If I had to pick a “specialty” is in telling cinematic stories where the players rise from humble beginnings to larger than life heroes with hard fought lessons learned. I would love to run you and your friends through an adventure. I have all the Pathfinder 2e adventure paths as well as most of the Starfinder. If you are interested in any system just let me know and I will see if we can set something up. I look forward to playing with you.
GM Style
I am a huge fan of roleplay and character development. I try to incorporate something personal for every character into the story while discussing with the players. I also use flashbacks to help players roleplay events from their characters past. During combat I will have the opponents use tactics if it makes sense from their stats and traits (i.e an animal wont reason the same as a Hobgoblin) I try to incorporate the battleground into tactics and love when players do it as well.

Dylan is a friendly GM who is always willing to work with the players to help them do the things that make them excited to play the game. He is also knowledgeable about the system and using the VTT which helps make a seamless gaming experience.

Dylan is consistent and lets the players decide the tone of a campaign as best as he can in a setting, and allows as much freedom as a setting allows. He is very patient and forgiving to people who don't understand new systems.

Always have a great time in Dylan's games. He continues to maintain an excellent balance between professionalism and love for what he does and it always shows in the games that he runs. Dylan encourages players and helps anyone struggling in a timely manner so as to not hold up the group as a whole and will endeavour to cater to each groups needs to the best of his abilities. I strongly recommend giving one of Dylan's games a shot whether you are a new player or old, not just for Dylan himself, but the community he has created.

I had a blast in his game, and when he said he's a fan of your character he's not lying.

Dylan was the first GM I joined on start playing and for anyone looking for a GM who is supportive for new and veteran players while creating one of the best stories I’ve ever played in look no further.
