Hello! Thanks for considering me to be your Game Master (GM)! My name is Ryan and I can take you on an exciting adventure! It started for me back in high school, almost ten years ago. My best friend and were always designing board games and were eventually introduced to tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) through a mutual friend who GMed for us. I loved how much more immersed and interactive a roleplaying game was compared to the board games and video games I grew up playing. Needless to say, I was hooked, and it wasn't even Dungeons and Dragons, yet! Fast forward a few years and after I graduated Bible college, I was approached by a group of wacky buddies who searched for a GM for Dungeons and Dragons 5e - and how could I say no? They were the most chaotic bunch of players, we had a ton of fun learning and playing together. They helped me develop a skill set that allows for creative and clever solutions to problems in these games while keeping the story focused and the combat interesting! Through my time as a GM since then, I've helped tables develop a community aspect. Here you don't just show up and leave on time like some 9-5 job, you're here to make memories with some awesome players who love the game as much as you. No matter who you are or what you believe, let's have fun together! I am accepting custom requests and group requests! Check out my Patreon for more content, in particular, you enter character raffles, can schedule 1-1 calls for GM coaching, encounter building, world-building, and more! This also supports my Podcast - Ones To Twenties! https://www.patreon.com/OnesToTwenties

GM Style

โœ… You will feel immersed at my tables, as I use Foundry VTT to a robust and immersive experience - automation, animations, and more! You will experience the adventure as if you really were the character you portray! At my tables, you'll see what your character sees, hear what they hear, and always have a soundtrack to the adventure! โœ… Each adventure is well-organized with a Google Document that provides you with easy access to links to online programs, world and character info, and every session recap from yours truly. What kind of content awaits you in our adventures together? Here's a visual aid for a typical adventure! ๐‚๐Ž๐Œ๐๐€๐“: โš”๏ธโš”๏ธโš”๏ธโš”๏ธโš”๏ธ (Specializing in LV5+ content!) ๐‘๐Ž๐‹๐„๐๐‹๐€๐˜: ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ (I follow the roleplay wants and needs of the party) ๐„๐—๐๐‹๐Ž๐‘๐€๐“๐ˆ๐Ž๐: ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ (Plenty to see and encounter, but not quite fully sandbox) ๐๐”๐™๐™๐‹๐„๐’: ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” (A good puzzle mixes things up) ๐‹๐Ž๐‘๐„ ๐ƒ๐„๐๐“๐‡: ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“– (You never have to guess what the important details are and missing small things won't mess things up for you)
