About Ryan

Hi! I'm Ryan (he/him), I'm 33 years old, and I've been playing and GMing TTRPGs for over a decade now. While I cut my teeth on D&D 5e and it remains my favorite, I've also made my way into other systems, including but not limited to: - Vampire: the Masquerade (V5 and V20) - Hunter: the Reckoning (H5) - Call of Cthulhu I'm a strong believer in the "rule of cool" and story over rules, and I make it my aim to make sure that all of my games are accessible and welcoming to everyone, especially LGBTQ+ folks, BIPOC, and women. Above all, I know that we're all here to have fun, so that is my main priority in any game. I encourage any of my players to talk to me if something is not to their liking, and I will do my best to ensure we work out a solution. I look forward to playing with you!

When I'm not running games I'm...

prepping for games. Okay, but actually - I spend time writing my novel, writing songs, writing my screenplay... Just writing. It's my favorite thing to do. And if not that, I'm watching cooking competition shows with my partner. And if not that, I'm starting another Baldur's Gate 3 run.

How Ryan runs games

I enjoy a good mix of roleplay and combat, with some fun puzzles and exploration sprinkled in for good measure. I'd say, if you're leaving it up to me, my games usually have a 60/40 roleplay to combat ratio when it comes to D&D. It varies for other systems. I also love doing character voices.
