About Cavin Eggleston

Hi, I'm Cavin Eggleston! I'm a former English teacher, a current comedian and improv performer, and a lifelong nerd. I have been in love with tabletop roleplaying games for close to a decade and am a forever DM that absolutely enjoys the ability to create fun and inviting player focused adventures. I also know the value of TTRPGs in helping develop skills and fostering empathy, communication, team building, and creativity. As an educator, I love TTRPGs because I believe they foster creativity, problem solving, and a collaborative mindset as we all work together to make a story. I enjoy seeing people make their first character and develop their voice as players and as members of an adventuring party. I have a rule of cool approach to DMing in which player agency and choice is the primary focus. We "yes, and" at this table. As a performer, I have ran over 100 games of live Dungeons & Dragons for audiences at comedy clubs and game shops around the United States. Many of our games, and the most fun ones, are all age and family friendly. We create a story based completely on audience interaction and involvement, so thinking on the fly and adapting to the needs of the table aren't issues! The nerd in me loves celebrating and getting excited about things that people are passionate about. Whether that's a game set in a galaxy far, far away, in a land of magic and ancient powers, or the grimdark future, I am comfortable making a game players will enjoy!

My game style

My games focus on a creative and player centered game where storytelling and collaboration are at the forefront of the experience. I love working with players to bring elements of their backstory into the world and helping them tell stories where they are at the center of events. I enjoy a rule of cool approach to games and encourage players to take advantage of their own imagination in solving encounters. Games feel more like action movies with epic characters than an inventory management or tactical simulation game. My DM-ing style is very “yes, and” focused and a bit more humorous than many other games. I enjoy players taking things in exciting and interesting directions than following specific story beats.
