About me

Professional standup comedian from Conan, Comedy Central, and more. Been GM-ing for a while. I really enjoy playing in a way that informs a fun, unique time for everybody. One-shots, extended campaigns, complete Homebrew (my favorite) or within a known story. I'm in love with backstory, exposition, and giving players the freedom to get creative with their play-style, fighting style, and anything we all agree is fun and in play. Love odd, offbeat magic items, weird NPCs, and emphasizing fun along the way. Trained in improv from Second City, Upright Citizen's Brigade. I've ran games in person and loved it, played a lot online and also loved it! I often run games with comedians and a series of D&D with comedians who have never played before. I love maps and making them in DungeonDraft, and have lots of minis (painted and... well... who's painted ALL of theirs??), and travel with a 32" TV I display table-up to utilize digital maps, some moving maps, and play music and audio cues. Playing remotely? I can make custom character art for tokens on Roll20, unique to YOUR character. Quick other Kyle stuff: I've been hosting a podcast about movies (and not watching them) for years, with folks like Dan Harmon, Henry Zebrowski, Bowen Yang, Pete Holmes, Sasheer Zamata, and more appearing on it. I have a weird rare brain disease that I'd be happy to tell you about if we chat.

I would love people who want a fun, laid-back, character and freedom driven campaign to hit me up about customizing something for you! Have a group? Great, let me make a memorable experience for everyone. Want a group? Let's make one! I am flexible, love writing, and am excited to roll with your rolls and have a good time.
