Ryan is extremely enthusiast in his story telling, and is happy to accommodate any requests for character creation or backstory elements. I've played a few sessions with him already and can't wait to play more!

Ryan is great! So fun to roleplay with and creates incredibly immersive and dynamic scenes/invests a lot in character discovery with just enough combat to keep things slashy

Ryan goes above and beyond to deliver on a fun story where the players go wild. He is super approachable for first timers who don’t really know all of the rules yet and to old timers that love to hash out the nitty gritty of rules. He’s respectful, fun, witty, and utterly diabolical. Hire him at your own peril; his games WILL leave you smiling, laughing and yelling in cathartic agony. Occasionally all at once!

Ryan is a great "Yes-And" style of GM. If you like GM's who are flexible, creative, and willing to work with whatever you give them and incorporate your ideas into their plans as best as you can, you will have a really rewarding game experience. He is very flexible in reacting to player choices and always happy to reward creativity or rule of cool without it ever threatening to upend the balance or plot of the game. He will integrate your character and backstory into large portions of his plot to help personalize the story and make everything feel more interconnected. He is no slouch in managing rules or mechanics either but the most rewarding aspects for me have always been amazing emergent stories that arise from rolling with creative choices and letting ideas bounce off of each other.

Ryan’s DMing style is simply amazing. He puts a lot of work into preparing content, no matter which path you’ll take in the game. He makes sure that the visuals that he uses have a consistent aesthetic, and he has a strong sense of theatrical storytelling. He also does a lot to include players in the creative process, enabling the players to tell the stories they want to tell, and giving them a chance to have awesome moments during the game. I would highly recommend Ryan as a DM; he truly earns the title of professional DM 😁✨

I have been a long time player in campaigns run by Ryan, and his style of dming lets players develop characters and have those characters heavily influence the campaign world. He is incredible at interweaving character backstory and connections throughout the campaign so the players feel like they are part of the world. Some of the most fun moments I have had include foiling a villain about to finish casting a ritual by using prestidigitation to black out the ritual scroll so he can't read from it any more. Any sort of creative and clever uses of abilities are encouraged. Even if nothing else sells you, having Ryan as a dm will always be fun. And for me it has been some of the most fun I have ever had in table top.
