Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

My first time for play-by-post, I'm really glad I tried GM Zaven's game. Very creative and descriptive. Exploring his world, I'm finding lots to discover and explore, interesting NPCs, a world with plenty of history and mystery and layers, lots of freedom but enough hooks to build and progress a story.

This is my first time participating in a play-by-post campaign, and it has been an absolute joy. Zaven is incredibly communicative and friendly, making it easy to stay engaged and connected with the game. His written descriptions are nothing short of outstanding, painting vivid, immersive scenes that bring the world to life. The NPCs he creates are truly memorable, each with their own unique personalities and quirks, making them feel like real people within the game world. One of the things I appreciate the most is how brilliantly Zaven incorporates player characters into the narrative. It makes the experience feel deeply personal and rewarding. If you’re considering joining a campaign run by Zaven, don’t hesitate—you’ll be in for an amazing time!

Zaven is one of the best gms I've ever had. He definitely encourages player creativity and works with his players to make the experience as fun as possible. Definitely knows the rules, but allows for rule of cool if the player has a fun idea.

Zeven is very hands on and wants to make each players experience feel like an accomplishment in each session he will drive the story wherever the players take him but always includes each player as a whole and individually you should never feel left behind or as a background character in a session with him if your quiet he will engage you and if your cofterble just being there to play he will not push to try and make you more involved inclusion is probably the best thing I can say about my experiences with him so far

Zaven is very good at helping you with getting started if you are not a very experienced player. He is also very patient and helpful with helping you criticality think about how you want your character to be.

How will character creation work

Here’s a beginner-friendly version of your session 0 description: Session 0: Crafting Your Character’s Story Before we dive into the adventure, we’ll start with a personal one-on-one session to help you get comfortable with your character and their place in the world. This will give us the chance to explore who your character is, where they’ve been, and where they’d like to go by the end of their journey.

Some things to think about during character creation: How did your character end up in the port City of Lecrel? This session is designed to help you feel confident with your character and ensure they have meaningful ties to the world around them. We’ll work together to make sure you’re ready for the adventure ahead! **session Zero in this sense will be a character creation with me, and can take a few days should you need it or be done within an hour or so**
