About Kirdan

Hello, I am Kirdan, your new Game Master with three decades of experience running science fiction tabletop role-playing games. As a professional GM affiliated with TTRPG publishers, I am passionate about crafting immersive sci-fi stories. I specialize in writing and running interconnected ALIEN Cinematic Scenarios and my own BLADE RUNNER Case Files, woven into the "City of Fallen Angels" story arc. When I’m not running sessions with my players, you’ll find me beneath the ocean waves, working as a diving instructor. Just as I guide diving enthusiasts through the depths of the sea, I lead my players through the uncharted territories of my stories. Diving, my parallel passion, enriches my storytelling, infusing it with a sense of awe and wonder. Join me on a journey through a universe of mystery and imagination, where every decision matters and every roll of the dice propels your character into new territory. Whether you’re a seasoned explorer of neon-noir cities, virtual worlds, and post-apocalyptic wastelands or a newcomer to the tabletop galaxy, together we will create stories you’ll remember forever. Are you ready to dive (pun intended) into the unknown? Join any of my games and let our sci-fi adventure begin!

How Kirdan runs games

My style emphasizes immersive storytelling, where solving mysteries takes priority over action, offering players a rich and deep narrative experience that goes far beyond mere combat. The spotlight is on riddles and puzzles that challenge players' intellect, requiring critical thinking and teamwork to unravel the story’s secrets. These puzzles are not just obstacles but integral components of the narrative, adding layers of complexity and intrigue to the adventure. Memorable characters are the hallmark of my campaigns, each NPC carefully crafted with a unique personality, background and motivations - whether they are allies or adversaries. Players can expect engaging interactions that foster deep connections, enhancing the emotional impact of the story. Combined with intense and gripping events, my adventures create a sense of urgency and excitement, from dramatic plot twists to heart-pounding encounters, keeping players on the edge of their seats and fully immersed in the unfolding narrative.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Brian de Palma or David Fincher.

My favorite trope is...

humanity versus technology.

My games focus on...

deep narrative, twisted intrigue and moral ambiguity.

Kirdan's ideal table

My table is focused. Players who want to immerse in the sci-fi worlds, and make difficult choices that impact the story, cooperate to unveil the mystery in the process will fit well at my table. But whatever turn the flow of the game takes, no one will leave the table dissatisfied.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

has creative ideas that make me improvise.

I think it's a red flag when players...

start looking at their mobile during session.

I think metagaming...

is okay between sessions.
