A champion for Collaborative Storytelling
I help storytellers create and tell more captivating, delightful, and horrifying stories through play, events, and practical guidance.
I’m Matt Steele — a tabletop RPG enthusiast, social impact copywriter, and lifelong storyteller.
I believe in the power of story to delight, challenge, and change the world.

Sleepless in the Mist
A session of the Symbaroum RPG.
At the edge of the Davokar Forest, soldiers stand watch against the beasts and barbarians that dwell within. When your group of young would-be forest explorers is forced to hole up in a watch tower by a black mist, you discover that more dangerous things await in ancient Davokar.
Symbaroum is a dark, gritty, and deadly fantasy setting that takes place in the emerging kingdom of Ambria. Brimming with natural resources and mythical treasures, the Davokar Forest calls out to the Ambrians to be explored and exploited. But the shadowy halls beneath the foliage are fraught with danger, monsters and infectious corruption. And take heed of the warnings of the Elven wardens of the forest: The ancient evil of Symbaroum stirs in its sleep.

As members of the Explorers Guild, you have been sent to Gilen’s Point on the small moon Moubarra 4 to perform a rescue mission for a team of lost prospectors — an odd request from the Mining Combine, who usually handle their own problems.
In Coriolis: The Great Dark, you are members of a crew of explorers ready to venture out into a new area of the universe — the Lost Horizon. You have your shuttle, your trusted crewmates and a warding guardian in the form of your bird – a strange alien creature that can help you on your journeys.

A Dreams and Machines RPG Experience
In this Quickstart adventure, a group of experienced teenage explorers take shelter inside a well-known derelict structure to get out of a sudden downpour. When boredom leads to investigating the structure, what they find leads them to a discovery that will change their lives forever.
In Dreams and Machines, people come together to rebuild the world of Evera Prime following a catastrophic war. You venture into a world of mystery and adventure, where slumbering mechs dot the landscape and people build their lives anew in the wreckage of paradise. But rumors swirl of a Dark City and yet more tell of Wakers — mechs that move, that kill, that cannot be stopped. But rumors always swirl, like cloth in the wind. Who’s to say what is real and what is fiction?
