About me

Hey y'all I'm Killian and I love collaborative story telling and rolling dice. I got into TTRPGs in early 2017, I have actually read the 5e PHB, DMG, and a lot of the other DM centric books. I specialize in running campaigns that will put you and the rest of your party at the heart of the action and make your choices feel meaningful. I believe strongly in making sure everyone feels like their voice is heard and that they are welcome at the table. I strive to create memorable experiences for my players that will help them feel empowered in their real lives. I am not trying to emulate the style of any of the celebrity DMs you see online, but I do hope that experiencing my style of running the game will make you want to go out and find yours!

GM Style

I create worlds that you'll want to visit again, stories that make you feel, and combat that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I love immersive and emotional roleplay, but I do not use it to avoid using combat or exploration in my games. I love building maps, writing lore, doing voices to NPCs to help make them memorable, creating villains that you will love to hate, and creating experiences for the people at my table. Absence Policy: Startplaying.games provides a button which you are able to provide notice that you will be absent. You can click the skip session if you are going to be absent and your seat will be saved without incurring any sort of penalty. In the event of an absence in which the player does not give notice or gives less than 24 hour notice you will not be refunded for the session. Emergencies and technical difficulties do happen, but this does not negate the amount of front loaded work that my games require when running them through Roll20. If a pattern of no shows without notice persists you will be removed from the game to give others a chance to play at the table.

I'm in a couple of Killians games and he is an awesome DM. Great story teller, very fare on rules and wants everyone to have a great time. One of the best DMs I have had, I can't wait to start the next campaign with him.

Killian is awesome. I've been really shy to play. So, when picking a game master ive been really picky. IDK worried about being judged, I guess. Anyways Killian has been a great introduction to the D&D world. he is very knowledgeable and if not, he knows where to look. He has great stories and really works with what's going on. He uses discord as a group chat and the group I'm with I feel like became friends, so we talk throughout the week. well, we were joking about coffee and how our characters would react. Killian decided to incorporate it into the story telling. and now we have caffeinated Thri-kreen crickets. to me this speaks volumes when story tell and playing games because he incorporates things for each players experience and does a good job to include everyone and make their characters feel like a main character in their own way.

He listens to his players and builds the story and the world based on our choices—10/10 DM.
