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 has been an incredible GM. He weaves great stories, while making sure the players goals are weaved into the narrative all while keeping everything feeling safe and fun. Picked him for my first GM in the world of D&D and couldn't have made a better choice.

Dylan has been amazing for both new and expierenced players. He consistently balances amazing story lore with challenging combat and interesting NPCs. I continually find myself laughing or afraid of what will be coming next.

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.

Very clear to understand, GM has a friendly personality. After playing a number of sessions with Dylan I’ve learned so much about role playing, game mechanics, rules, and more. Dylan is the dream GM for any newbie. He has great voices and what I love the most is his own value in being a life long learn.

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
