About me

Hello, veteran player and DM. Let’s play some games!!!

GM Style

Roleplay, combat, and exploration are the main 3 pillars of D&D. My main play style is roleplay mixed with combat, while exploring…. WAIT WHAT? Come join the game to find out. Will you get magic items, yes. Will they seem overpowered no, can they be …Yes! Do locations, classes and races get strange benefits here and there also yes. No idea is actually a bad idea! Session 0s are important with me and may give you more benefits of one on one time in the worlds I’m going to throw you into - currently Eberron.

He is a fantastic DM. He's not only flexible but supportive of creative ideas. It really enhances the experience and allows for more creative fun even when our luck as players are low. He clearly cares about everyone having fun and getting the most out of the game rather than applying strict rules to the campaign. I personally havent laughed this hard and been so down bad on luck and yet still enjoyed myself like this during a session in a long time. I really do suggest more people play some of his games.

A great DM for both beginners and long time players. Always mindful and communicative about the experience players want out of the game, but also looks for ways to challenge the players.

I was completely new to D&D and Ryu was very patient while we went through my character sheet and the Eberron universe rules. Ryu allowed for reasonable homebrew items and physics and encouraged as much creativity from his players as possible, even rewarding those who challenged him as a DM with mental gymnastics. I felt safe to explore and make mistakes and ask questions -- he's fantastic for beginners and advanced players. I absolutely recommend him!
