Matterz Squidling is a multifaceted artist, a living bard whose talents range from  circus sideshow performer, filmmaker, musician, to lifelong Dungeon Master (DM). Currently, he runs live Dungeons & Dragons games at Redcap’s Corner in West Philadelphia, including two weekly games for adults and an afterschool program for preteens.

With roots in the classic days of the 1980s, Matterz honed his craft under the guidance of his late brother, Jason, developing an extensive knowledge of D&D lore and decades of experience as a DM. His storytelling style draws from the raw essence of role-playing, bringing monsters, non-player characters (NPCs), and worlds to life through a dynamic mix of humor, grit, and immersive character embodiment.

Matterz seamlessly blends high fantasy with multiversal intrigue, creating a perfect balance between “theater of the mind” and tactical gameplay using battle maps, miniatures, and top-tier game accessories. His games are known for their intensity and unpredictability, challenging players while offering a spectrum of emotions—from pulse-pounding suspense to uproarious laughter. Every session is an unforgettable Dungeons & Dragons experience.
