About me
Hello adventurers, I am Shektor, and I hope to become your Dungeon Master/Game Master. I have been a DM/GM for about 10 years now and I have seen it all: from the most hideous murderhobbos to the most divine of paladins. Those years of experience have taught me how to deal with a lot of different situations in a creative manner and on how to construct well paced and engaging stories. I also poses a relaxed sense of humour, just look at my profile picture. As a added bonus I speak four different languages: Russian, French, German and English.

How Shektor creates a safe table
It will have a session 0 that is free In this session we will discuss : Breaks, feedback, subjects to avoid, conflict resolutions, rules of the game and homebrew modifications. This session will also allow to get to know you better as players and learn what are the things to avoid in order to have good sessions. As a Dungeon Master I love animations and convenience. I use a lot of different animations to breath life and flaire into my games: attack animations, blood splatter, sounds that match the players attacks, spells and even transformations that would make a druid very happy. Foundry and it's modules allow me automate certain aspect of the experience, like attack, damage, scene transitions, loot and even the buying and selling of items in game.
