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.
Chad
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

What Zaven brings to the table
I am Zaven, and I specialize in bringing your characters into the vast world of Starfinder, making sure your story is one that truly matters. Whether you're a seasoned explorer or new to the system, I focus on weaving player-driven narratives where your choices shape the universe around you. I’m skilled at improvisation, following the path players leave behind, and ensuring that each adventure feels personal and meaningful. For new players, don't worry! I’ve helped many people start with Starfinder and am more than ready to get you up to speed. I’ll guide you through character creation, mechanics, and gameplay with patience, setting you up for success. We will be using Discord as our medium, as soon as you join we can have dialog where, we’ll fine-tune your character to fit into the narrative, ensuring the adventure is a perfect match for your hero. I love adding music and ambiance to enrich the story, but I’m always open to adjusting things based on the group's preferences. It’s all about building a shared experience and crafting this universe together. As for the rules, I like to mix creativity with the structure of Starfinder. I often implement a "rule of cool" approach for dynamic moments—like using 2d20 rolls where the farthest result from 10 decides success or failure for wild stunts. While I follow the rules as written most of the time, I ensure transparency so the game stays balanced and fun for everyone. If you'd prefer a "hero and their crew" dynamic, we can explore that too! No matter your experience level, I am here to help you enter this world! this is a Play by post Experience that will take you through adventures either Solo as a Duet experience (you and me building the story) Duo (you and another with me to build this out) Or a full group to build this out, No matter the case lets Explore this space together! I look forward to welcoming you to the adventure! Let’s create something unforgettable.

How Zaven creates a safe table
X, N and O will be utilized when doing or going into potentially sensitive topics, making sure that everyone is comfortable, Stars and wishes, will be open discussion at the end of each session, and also will tie into aftercare and the open door, my DMs will always be open and checked even mid session should anyone have concerns they are uncomfortable bringing to the group I will bridge those topics myself. Luxton technique, is something near and dear to me, I will make sure that any concerns of such will be brought forward as well as sharing anything I am uncomfortable running on my table.
