About Ky The GM

Hi! I'm Kyran and I wanna tell some stories with you. I've been a professional GM for eight years now, and I've run over twenty different game systems. I believe in building the game around the character you build, whether it's a one-shot or a long term campaign. I've got experience running games at conventions, in Actual Plays (Bleeding Kansas on the Gehenna Gaming Youtube Channel) and in long running private campaigns that can span multiple game systems. I pride myself on complex social play, snappy combat scenes, and constructing intriguing mysteries.

How Ky The GM runs games

I love to bring different accents and mannerisms to a cast of complex characters with their own goals and plans. Players in my games have a chance to interact with a complex social world and to shape it through their actions. My sessions are heavy on investigation and intrigue, as well as snappy and cinematic combat.
