About me

Hello Everyone! Matt here! Folks across the internet may know me as SquidBaron, and I’m here to share my love of Role-Playing Games with people around the world by guiding players in amazing games. In addition to being a GM, I’m also a Game Designer who has worked with publishers such as Legendary Games, Drop Dead Studios, Splinterverse games, and many more. I love exploring the nuances of both mechanics and story, bringing them together in meticulously-crafted adventures tailored to the unique passions of my players. My backgrounds in economics, film, theater, and game design all contribute to my distinct style. In addition to writing and publishing the 11-book Arcforge setting for Pathfinder 1st Edition, I’m well-versed in the many worlds that gamers know and love. I have published books set in the Planescape, Dragonlance, City of 7 Seraphs, and Lost Omens settings and am intimately familiar with other settings such as Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Theros, Star Wars, and even older worlds such as Greyhawk, Birthright, and Dark Sun. More importantly, I know how to adapt a world to the style and system that my playgroup is hungry for. I’m eager to share my love of Role-Playing Games with players new and old and even more eager to see what you all bring to my table. Come as you are and share with me all of your questions, your aspirations, and your what-ifs.

GM Style

Rich plots and vast worlds populated by expressive and challenging tactical encounters. Foundry is my VTT of choice for enabling the greatest degree of customization, automation, and overall player convenience. As a GM and a Game Designer, I'm known for my ability to implement a wide variety of mechanics, set pieces, and themes into my stories, offering players the freedom to explore new territory and especially new game systems.
