About DM Ryan

Welcome to my StartPlaying profile! If you are here then you may be thinking about joining one of my games, so let me tell you a little about myself! I've been a tabletop hobbyist for 15+ years, starting with the World of Darkness line of games and then moving onto DnD and Pathfinder. Before I became a professional GM, I helped to create text-based RPGs, ran multiple full-length campaigns, and attended university to study the English language and narrative techniques. In my time since becoming a professional DM, I have ran multiple weekly campaigns in various formats, greatly expanded my storytelling knowledge, met some incredible people, and have grown as a GM ten-fold. Today, I am pleased to offer my expertise and professional experience to you on StartPlaying.Games! As an unforgettable GM and story connoisseur, it is my duty to keep you entertained week after week, month after month. From team-building exercises to birthdays; from one-off events to weekly campaigns; I can run it all! What I offer for every game: -A personalized login on a private Foundry VTT server -Custom content: you will find races and abilities here that are nowhere else! -Full access to all published DnD material during character creation -A high-quality zoom call available during our sessions -Access to my Discord, where you can see memes, announcements, updates on all of my upcoming games and projects (Coming soon!) -Dedication to storytelling, punctuality, and an open door policy! Don't see an offering that's right for you? Contact me and let's put together a custom game.

How DM Ryan runs games

While I enjoy tactical combat and making strong builds, I am also a firm believer in the Rule of Cool. I try to include in my games a balance of action and roleplay, funny and serious, mystery and lore. I like to try out new and different voices every week, and I love putting power into the player's hands with custom content that I help my players to write. It's my goal to deliver an unforgettable experience every single game!
