Appearing on the behalf of Geek & Sundry, Critical Role, College Humor, Smosh Games, C.net, Geek.com, Wizards of the Coast, and others. Ivan is known for his unique form storytelling and has been declared a "Master of Suspense" from his peers and players due to his style of unscripted storytelling.

Game Style

Ivan runs table-first stories where player choices drive the plot. His sessions lean toward narrative over strict rules following, drawing deeply on character backstories so the party co-authors the adventure and everyone gets a turn in the spotlight.

Expect the tone to skew darker, creepier, and deliciously tense. Ivan is celebrated for building atmosphere and suspense, and for pushing into high-stakes, unpredictable territory. He crafts unique scenarios where choices have teeth and consequences matter, keeping action brisk and the table on edge.
