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.

Dylan’s Eberon campaign was my introduction to D&D, and he always made me feel welcome with lots of patience as he helped me learn the mechanics of the game. He always strives for a fun, communal atmosphere, and sets up opportunities for both adventuring and role playing. Thank you for a fun adventure!

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.
