About Ryan

Hello! My name is Ryan, but you can call me Twig. I will be your dedicated Game Master for hire, and I am honored to act as a facilitator for the stories that you want to tell. Ever since I was young, I have loved getting lost in the realms of fantasy and science fiction. From the epic tales of Drizzt Do'Urden in the Forgotten Realms, to the gritty post human questions of Blade Runner, you find a wide range of topics and settings to explore with me as your Game Master. With a college degree that specialized in game design, I delight in going outside the bounds of the various systems I have run to give you distinctive mechanics, items, and powers for your characters. Whether you are an experienced player or dipping your toes into the hobby, your unique ideas will be brought to life. As a writer, I pride myself on crafting open ended scenarios that give you the freedom to explore the world as you see fit. My focus as a GM is to emphasize player interaction and and the consequences. Your actions matter and will affect the narrative in unforeseen ways. That collective chaos is what makes these games special. So, join me in this collaborative effort to conjure into being worlds of our design.

How Ryan runs games

I enjoy teaching new players how to play, and I have run many sessions I personally designed to act as a tutorial for learning new systems. Choice matters. I run games with a focus on creating organic and spontaneous scenarios with the players. You can expect a heavy emphasis on Roleplay because of the open ended nature of my games. Variety is a specialty of mine. I love learning and playing new systems and borrowing ideas from other games. Whatever game or style you want to play, I will make sure that your needs are met. Lastly, teamwork is very important, and it applies to everyone at the table, including me. No matter the role, we are all working together.
