Saige Ryan Faces Serious Accusations in LA D&D Circles: Lies, Cheating, and Racism?
A closer look at the drama shaking up the tabletop gaming community
If you follow the LA D&D scene—or YouTube and Twitch drama in general—then the name Saige Ryan probably rings a bell. She’s been part of Smosh, moved on to Pixel Circus, and made a mark in all sorts of actual play streams. But lately? All eyes are on Saige for all the wrong reasons.
What’s Happening?
A thread on Reddit just lit up with some heavy accusations against Saige Ryan. According to the post, Saige has been spreading lies about people behind the scenes, cheating in romantic relationships, and even being racist in LA’s tight-knit D&D community.
You can read the original post on Reddit if you want it straight from the source.
The Allegations
Let’s break down the main issues:
- Spreading Lies: Saige is accused of damaging reputations by saying negative things about people she doesn’t like. With her connections in the LA gaming space, these words have weight.
- Cheating: The post claims Saige was involved in cheating in romantic relationships with Damien Haas and Omar Najam, two other well-known names in the YouTube/tabletop world.
- Racism: The accusation of racism is especially serious given how tight and diverse the LA D&D community tries to be. There aren’t a lot of details in the Reddit post—just the charge, hanging out there for everyone to read.
Why This Matters
Drama in the tabletop RPG space isn’t new. But the allegations here hit a few sore spots:
- Trust: In small, creative communities, trust is everything. Gossip or personal attacks can break a scene apart.
- Diversity: Accusations of racism come at a time when the hobby is trying hard to become more inclusive.
- Relationship Fallout: Mix work, play, and romance in public, and things get messy—fast.
What’s Next?
At the time of writing, Saige Ryan hasn’t posted a public response to these claims. There’s a YouTube video about it too, for anyone wanting another look.
This isn’t the first messy situation in the LA tabletop scene, and it probably won’t be the last. Whether these claims are proven true or not, it’s a reminder that what happens at the table—or backstage—can spill out into the public and affect real people’s reputations and careers.
Final thoughts:
Online drama is exhausting, but in spaces built on trust and stories, it matters who we believe and support. If you’re watching this unfold, maybe ask: Who benefits from the drama—and what does the community lose when it’s all just rumors and accusations?
