About me

Rule #1: We’re here to play D&D and have fun together. Having fun together means learning and respecting each other’s boundaries. It also means understanding that we are here to play a cooperative game together. You can “do what your character would do” as long as the other players all agree that it’s fun. Let’s make sure everyone is having a good time! No person left behind! Rule #2: The Rule of Cool* *but mostly use the actual rules.

GM Style

To me, the most important factor that makes D&D fun is the people you play with. If everyone agrees on how they want to play and respect each other’s boundaries, then we can create a safe space for people with aligned values to have fun. That’s 99% the fun of D&D; hanging out with friends (that are all interested in the same style of game and will respect each others’ time and boundaries). When you’re playing a game with me, I’ll be doing my best to roleplay and voice my characters using my theater background, but also I’ll be trying my best to keep everyone engaged and not feeling left out. I love roleplay and will always try to find ways to encourage my players to try as well. I also love rules, minmaxing, and strategy! I have a strong grasp of the rules and their intentions, and so I am able to keep things feeling balanced and challenging. I’m always happy to help players character creation and building to make heroic characters that feel strong or translate their idea for a character into crunchy useful numbers. I also love reflavoring and the rule of cool! I always use encourage players to explore their creativity and use it to reflavor how their spells are cast or how various mechanics are visualized. And I am happy to help players creatively use their tools in ways that won’t feel imbalanced.

This guy is funny, kind, and happy to teach D&D. It's clear he loves D&D and sharing it with other people. Definitely worth your time and money.

SYLVYR ran a one-shot for my homies and me for a birthday party, and was so accommodating and willing to help our new group of players. He made sure everyone felt safe and knew each other's boundaries, and did a great job at teaching the rules and was willing to bend them when the story felt right. Overall, passes the vibe check, super chill dude.

He's imaginative and is phenomenal at making/bringing to life multidimensional NPCs. He ran SKT for our group and made it his own, incorporating our characters' back stories seamlessly into the story. His storytelling is top notch and he has a good sense for when to add some comedy to help offset really tense encounters in a session.
