About me
Hi, I’m Dylan! I’ve been a Dungeon Master since 2017, creating unforgettable adventures for players of all experience levels. My games emphasize immersive storytelling, vibrant NPCs, and a nuanced, open world where every choice matters. Whether you’re navigating political intrigue in Eberron, battling dragons on the Sword Coast, or just sharing laughs with friends, my goal is to provide a safe, inclusive space where creativity and fun thrive. Let’s roll some dice and bring your next epic tale to life!
GM Style
I focus on storytelling and creating rich, character-driven narratives where players have agency to shape the world around them. My NPCs are memorable and dynamic, bringing depth to the stories we tell together. Combat, roleplay, and exploration are all on the table, but I prioritize what excites the players most. The “rule of cool” guides my approach to mechanics, ensuring a fun and flexible experience. Whether you’re a newcomer or a veteran, I’ll make sure your character has the spotlight in a world that responds to your every decision.

Extended version: Velvet is an extremely talented storyteller and Dungeon Master. He goes all-out and does everything in his power to make his games immersive, engaging, and fun for his players. He's also very approachable - when I came to him with something that had unexpectedly distressed me he was very accommodating and responsive, and is dedicated to holding himself accountable. Abriged Version: Dude is one of only two Dungeon Masters who's made me cry emotional tears during my character story moments. He's the only one who's managed to do it two weeks in a row. Hurt so good, worth every penny. Tears/10 would play again.

Fantastic fun. Dylan ran a smooth and entertaining game. We accomplished a lot in a short time, with plenty of roll playing and Mele. the combat flow was particularly good. Highly recommended.

Had a great time in our one shot adventure. Great atmosphere and good storytelling. Combats actually got close a couple times which I enjoyed.

Dylan is an amazing GM even having a long break for the holidays he didn’t skip a beat and made it feel like we had just played. He great at making different encounters like fight and trivial. Top tier when it comes to making players feel like they are important!!

Dylan is a WONDERFUL DM. I look forward to attending his games every week! He is prepared for game night adding aspects so each player and their character have the chance to shine. I enjoy that Dylan encourages player creativity. His NPCs are so real from a simple sales person to a complex villain you feel you are there. Dylan uses a variety of voices yet his individual NPC voice and tone is consistent from session to session. Using great tools Dylan adds music as well as sound effects to tell a terrific story
