About Cy
Well met! I’m an huge fan of the Forgotten Realms and thrilled to breathe life into the setting and characters for you to explore and adventure within. Playing Baldur’s Gate 3 led me to falling in love with the world of Faerûn, and I’ve been having a wonderful time creating wild and exciting stories for players in that fantastic realm. I enjoy inhabiting the realm’s characters and giving players a backdrop to explore their own character’s backstory and connections to the world. I’m happy to take you on an adventure you’ll never forget, with a gorgeous Virtual Tabletop, exciting combat, and memorable RP! Let’s go! 👀

I ran my first game...
...after a ton of meticulous prep to turn my dining room into an escape room. It was a session in a crypt and I wanted it to feel really interactive!
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Creatively evil bastard? It's not three words necessarily, but I've heard "Cy, when I get you" a number of times when coming up with diabolical plans :)
When I'm not running games I'm...
...probably playing in DnD games. I like playing wizards and sorcerers the most, with wizard being my hands-down favorite. I LOVE DnD and enjoy exploring all kinds of possibilities in it.
How Cy runs games
I love DMing for players whose characters want to get to know each other; I want to facilitate your storylines and relationships with each other. I love when players are creative with their abilities and strategic with their encounters, as there are so many fascinating story variants you can open up when the party makes unexpected allies. That said, I also LOVE combat, and I'm always trying to offer combat that's complex, dynamic, and interesting to engage in should it come up.

I deal with rules issues by...
I’m pretty quick at looking them up :) I have the PHB and DMG in another tab when playing. Feel free to remind me if something doesn’t sound right and we can look at it together and confirm.
My games focus on...
... building relationships between the player characters while they bond and handle a bigger outside threat. The relationships between the player characters are really important to me!
Rules are...
...an important scaffolding for the game. Rules give us an idea of what's possible and what neat stuff we can do within the boundaries of the rules. I like looking at them as a puzzle to solve.
Cy's ideal table
I love folks who are interested in and curious about Forgotten Realms lore. I also love players who try to redeem villains, are creative in their gameplay, and avoid the horrors of “murderhoboing” 😂

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
Baldur's Gate 3. That was my first introduction to the Forgotten Realms, so all of my knowledge has its starting point there and expanded into the AD&D and other edition sourcebooks. But Baldur's Gate 3 is still my first love when it comes to Toril content!
I love it when a player
Surprises me with their ideas. I love good tactics and welcome tactical thinking and strategy, and seeing encounters go ways I didn't expect is one of the most rewarding experiences in DMing.
My perfect party mix is
...not necessarily about the classes, but more about the way they approach each other. A great party is one that's interested in each other, cares about each other, wants to help each other out on their challenges. I love working with parties like that!
