About Triston
Hi everyone! I'm Triston! I'm a long time GM for various games. I grew up running and teaching TTRPGs at my middle & high schools to my peers. I'm incredibly dedicated to the games I run, and aim to deliver games that are not only fun to play in, but games that leave you waiting for the next session.

I got started GMing...
Teaching other kids at my highschool how to play Pathfinder 1st Edition & other TTRPGs like Shadowrun and Vampire.
My favorite books are
My all time favorite book would have to be East of Eden by John Steinbeck, followed by Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman.
My favorite system of all Time is
Vampire: the Masquerade will always hold a special place in my heart. World of Darkness games in general are so incredibly unique compared to other TTRPGs, and some of my favorite moments at the table are in them.
How Triston runs games
Everything I do is for the narrative. I love rewarding players for creative gameplay and I often allow the rule of cool. Besides that, in every campaign I run I always give each player character their individual character arc in the story. A distinct section of the plot, hand built for you and your character, portraying their growth and preparation for the climax of the campaign.

My games focus on...
Character narratives and storytelling are always at the forefront of my campaigns. I try to come up with interesting twists and plots for you to enjoy.
When it comes to voices
I love them! I do voices for all of my NPCs, but I won't be making any Matt Mercer sound effects.
Triston's ideal table
I thrive with players who enjoy heavy roleplay with long narrative scenes and conversations, as well as narrative combat.
Featured Prompts
I think metagaming...
Isn't so okay! I will generally correct metagaming behavior as it appears at the table.
I think min/maxing...
Is okay! If that's how you have fun, that's how you have fun.
My table is not the place for...
Trying to break the game! Please don't purposefully try to abuse mechanics within the given system we're playing.
