About Killiyan

Hello, everyone! Feel free to check out my discord forum for a catalog of one-shots and campaigns. More added weekly: https://discord.gg/t6SfXmX6js I have run several games spanning about 5 years and ranging from DnD5e/5.5e to homemade TTRPGs with my family, friends, and kids. I have never found a medium quite like TTRPGs and believe it is the ultimate storytelling and gaming experience that's out there. The way it can bring together folks from all walks of life to tell a story unique, interesting, fun and heartbreaking all at once is nothing less than narrative magic. I hope to bring my character central gameplay to those interested in a story focused environment where we can experience the magic DnD has to offer. Options for Family friendly environment available as well. Your first session with me is free! Please message me to secure your free session.

How Killiyan runs games

My style of GMing is mostly balanced with slight lean toward combat. What I enjoy most is when my players are engaged and having fun. If you want a high-stakes survivalist gameplay, let's do it. If you want a chill roleplay heavy game with political intrigue, I'm down. If I must choose a preferred style of play, I enjoy having regular roleplay encounters, combat ranging from simple encounters to high-stakes boss fights at regular intervals, and engaging exploration.

Killiyan's ideal table

As a GM, it is my job to ensure that you are enjoying the game as a whole. With the structure of the rules as a guide and the freedom of leaning into Rule of Cool if necessary, I attempt to create engaging and satisfying gameplay. I typically run a more serious game, but laughter and humor have a firm place no matter the stakes of the world. Sometimes you will trip and fall on your face, and it will be hilarious. Key Points: -Roleplay is needed to experience the game to its fullest. Whether you explain your characters actions in third-person, voice a line or two here and there, or come complete with a special voice and character accurate quips, it is all accepted and encouraged. -Combat will feel dangerous and threatening most of the time with later levels having chances of being "EZPZ". Strategy has its place but active combat is quick; 6 seconds of time translated into 1 round of turns. There's no time to ask your party what to do once combat is rolling! Logistics: We will run our game on Roll20 and DnD Beyond. Discussion will be had in discord on topics such as attendance, character creation, and more.
