About Bryan/OddSquirrel

I'm Bryan (he/him/40yo), and I've been GMing since I started improvising games with my friends 26 years ago. I enjoy running thematic, engaging games, incorporating music, handouts, and other elements to make each game feel alive. As a military veteran, I know what it's like to wrangle a group of people from different backgrounds, and I use that to facilitate the engaging and memorable games I host. I enjoy combat, but I think it's important to balance that with social roleplay, puzzles, and other interactions. Everything should happen with purpose and drive the game forward. Let's roll some dice!

I got started GMing...

as a kid when my friends thrust the 3rd edition D&D books at me and told me I was now the DM.

How Bryan/OddSquirrel runs games

As a flexible GM, my style balances social roleplay, combat, and other encounters (like puzzles), but I'm able to customize a game to the needs of the players. Whether you love political intrigue, crunchy, difficult combat, or a little bit of both, I'm ready to accommodate. I embody the characters I play, infusing them with energy and life. The people you'll meet will be authentic and real, the worlds around you lived in and complex. I love crafting unique and engaging stories, both in familiar worlds and entirely new ones. Let me help you find your adventure! PRIVATE GAMES: I do offer private games, which you can explore via the "Book This GM" button. There, we can discuss the needs of your group (what kind of game you're after, homebrew or module, playstyles, and so on). SOCIAL MEDIA: Find me on BlueSky @oddsquirrel.com
