How Sydney Berryman runs games
I am a combat light, roleplay heavy DM known to be adaptive and create immersive worlds and NPCs. I’m knowledgeable on the rule sets I use, and I am willing to admit when I have done a ruling wrong. I’m a strong advocate for telling a collaborative story rather than a me versus player mindset.

Sydney Berryman's ideal table
My table style is relaxed. I’m not a competitive person, so a lot of my tables don’t have a really competitive vibe. I like to focus on player experiences in the world rather than a set of battles.

I am for a vibe that's...
Just fun and a little light-hearted. These are games at the end of the day. I would for someone to be in a bad headspace, because I ran a game too serious for them. There are nitty-gritty, combat-loving DMs out there. I’m not one of them.
I think metagaming...
Isn’t fun for anyone. If I know someone is metagaming, I will call them out. A player can know a ton about the world and monsters, but a character is learning as they go.
My perfect party mix is
A bunch of characters people want to play. If you don’t have a healer, there might be more healing potions available. No tank, no problem. Magic items can help with that. I want everyone to be having a good time.
