Experience Mythic Adventures

Tales that scar. Sessions that matter. Stories that never leave you.

Answer the Call

Welcome to Rebel Raven Gaming Company
Where the story doesn’t just unfold—it pulls you under.

Based in Colorado Springs, Rebel Raven offers something more than just game nights. This is storytelling sharpened to a blade. These are tabletop roleplaying experiences designed to haunt, challenge, and transform. Whether you’re a newcomer or a seasoned dice-slinger, you’ll be guided into mythic worlds where choices matter, tension builds, and no one leaves unchanged.

I run narrative-first games in systems like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Ironsworn, and beyond. But system is secondary. The story is everything.

At Rebel Raven, you won’t just roll dice, you’ll forge legends. I craft immersive, character-driven adventures tailored to your group’s style, tempo, and emotional appetite. Expect rich worldbuilding, cinematic moments, and stakes that sting. Strategy, teamwork, moral consequence - every session is a crucible.

About Rebel Raven Gaming Company
This isn’t content. This is ritual.

Based in Colorado Springs, Rebel Raven Gaming Company exists for one reason: to bring people back to the table. The real table. Wood. Dice. Eye contact. Laughter that shakes the walls. Silence that holds the weight of consequence. In a world screaming for your attention from behind a screen, we offer something ancient: shared stories, face to face.

We believe roleplaying is more than recreation—it’s instinct. We’re wired to tell tales, to embody heroes, to suffer, to triumph, to remember. That’s what happens here.

Who Am I?
My name is Merritt, and I’ve been telling stories with dice and desperate players for over 20 years. I’ve run Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Ironsworn, and more systems than I can count. But it’s not about the system. It’s about what we do with it.

My focus is creating immersive, character-driven experiences that challenge your assumptions and reward your boldness. Every table I run is inclusive, intentional, and relentlessly engaging. Everyone gets a voice. Everyone gets a scar. We build the story together—and no one gets left behind.

I’m not just here to run games. I’m here to build a gaming community in Colorado Springs that knows how powerful this hobby can be. One story at a time.

Every story starts with a risk.
You’ve come this far—why stop now?

If you’re ready to ask a question, book a game, commission a custom campaign, or simply whisper something strange into the void, you’re in the right place.

I work with players and groups who crave more than casual sessions. If you're looking for a game that demands investment, dares emotion, and leaves scars worth remembering, I want to hear from you.

It was great for a couple beginners. Friendly and informative. We had a small party, but it was really fun. Would highly recommend.

Having recently got back into playing D&D since youth, it was amazing to find a GM who was about the fun, the story, and adding, or should I say upping the challenge of the campaign as we the player got familiar with playing, our characters and our groups dynamic. Merritt is a creative DM and worked in our characters' backstories we provided him into the campaign, and adds his own flair to standard modules to make them ever interesting. I highly recommend him as a DM for any games you're looking to play, and I look forward to the next game he hosts.

Fantastic GM, I have been lucky enough to call him a friend and find his group many years ago. He is always prepared at game time and has the adaptability to adjust as needed when the players do things totally off the wall. When playing adventure paths he tries to ensure that players don't feel "railroaded" into sticking to the adventure assumptions is ready to adjust both the path and the storyline to fit the players rather than having the players fit the storyline. He's definitely one of the best GM's out there!

I was a relative newbie to role-playing D&D, when I was invited to join a multi-game campaign run by Merritt. I was instantly comfortable with him as a GM. He is always available to answer questions both during the games and in off hours. He helped me build a kick-ass Necromancer, and even used my backstory as a subplot to the game. I would highly recommend him to any new or experienced player looking for a well-versed and in-depth experience.

I've been TTRPGs with Merritt for over fifteen years. He is an excellent GM that spends time preparing adventures and tying elements of your character into the narrative. His rules knowledge is masterful and he always keeps the game flowing at the table. You won't be disappointed to have him run your next one-shot, min-arc or long campaign.
