About me

I'm here because I want to make Tabletop gaming be for others, what it has been for me. A refuge in which I can express my creativity and connect with people! A place of escape, and a place where dreams become reality. I was the kid in middle school bringing multiple dungeons and dragons books to class, while neglecting to bring my class book. My love for the game has not changed. I have played for 18 years and been a DM/GM for 15. My goal is to find a group of players and to customize a gaming experience that brings into balance each members game play style and creates meaningful and memorable adventures. But, not just Dungeons and Dragons. Apart from 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons, I have also developed a passion for a variety of other systems. I am more than happy to be the GM for a Starfinder campaign or a Keeper of Arcane Lore in a Call of Cthulhu horror campaign. I have, and would love to run any Goodman Games, Wizards of the coast, Paizo, or Chaosium published systems. Also I have built many worlds and would love to bring in homebrew content custom fit for your group. Whether a one-shot or a campaign to level 20 and beyond. I love role play and co-operative story telling, but also love treasure hunting and monster slaying. I love every kind of play style, I love happy players, and I love teaching new players how to play the game. My favorite is the old school danger gaming feel, thus Dungeon Crawl Classics is one of my favorite systems. Please contact me if you have any questions. Until I hear from you... Keep them dice rolling!

GM Style

I love role play, but will ease into it slowly for new players. I attempt to end each adventure with a twist or hook to keep us interested and anticipating our next session. I strive to make memorable NPC's and to be flexible with each party's collective desires for gameplay. Fantasy is different than sci-fi, and both are different than horror. I love them all and everything in between. Let us always remember that this is "CO-OPERATIVE" story telling. We are all in this together, and together we will make the experience a special one.I love making player choice push the campaign.

I have been gaming a long time. I started with the white box in 1974. I can recommend Kyle highly as one of my favorite DM's. He has a way of capturing that old school feel which for me brings back memories from ages past. I have not come across someone who has done that in quite some time. I always have a blast, and I have never left disappointed.

Great storyteller. I love his homebrew games best, but every pre written adventure we have run, he has improved upon and mixed up. Partly because many of us read or are aware of much of what is in some of the modules, but his imaginative storytelling and crwativity never disappoint.

I love his level of passion for the game. Especially Dungeon Crawl Classics and Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. He seeks to evangelize the systems to those who are younger and teach them how to DM/ Judge their own games. He brings life to the NPC's and even the monsters because of his passion for the game and always keeps things fresh. The goblin is never just "another" goblin. It is a goblin with a sword attached where his hand should be and the other hand seems to be transmuted into some kind of tentacle like whip. Always a great time!

My Love for this GM/DM/Judge lies with his freedom to use rule light systems to give the players freedom to do things that don't have set rule systems. If you think of something cool, fun, or genius he will most likely allow it without consulting multiple books looking for rules. Also very much allows the players to make choices that change the story. You do not feel railroaded or pushed along in someone else story. Very good at keeping the games moving and also keeping things interesting and entertaining. My favorite GM I have played under.

A passionate GM who brings the game to life. When our players have questions he's quick to answer without having to take time to look stuff up. Dialog with NPCs feel natural and organic. He has great responses and he's a natural at improv. He also describes combat when you land a hit telling you how you "slice at the Orc's head and feel the blow connect with flesh, you see the Orc's ear sailing through the air and land on the ground, now he's really angry" I've never had a bad experience with Kyle.
