About me
🧙♂️Gen-X, 🏳️🌈Queer, 🪄Witch,💛🤍💜🖤 they/them/he,🌲and I get lost in the woods a lot. GM Eric V is a full-time professional GM, with lifetime's worth of experience in running games for discerning players. They have thousands of hours of experience running games in Roll20 and Foundry and use Discord for voice and video (video is always optional). Eric is dedicated to running each campaign to a satisfying conclusion, and "playing to find out" what happens. You won't get run through a conveyor belt of published modules "as written", and you can count on a GM who is dedicated to their craft and takes their role of being an ambassador of the hobby seriously. At Eric's table, the player characters aren't just involved in the story, they are the story! We forge friendships at the table and promote an inclusive environment focused on player safety and maximum fun. This is an LGBTQ+ and allies space. Eric has had the pleasure to work with an amazing community of players and has GM'd for clients such as: Target, Google, Hidden Path, and more.

Safety
How Eric V - House VanSingel creates a safe table
We leverage safety tools to promote a positive and safe place to play together. When you join, you affirm the following: "I wont attack other players or steal from them (PVP) and I will play a character who isnt explicity evil or selfish. I will respect the narrative consent of others and be a team player. I promise not to engage in problematic play and I will come to the table with a great attitude." This is a positive place that welcomes all and is a LGBTQ+ space. We will go over additional safety details in session 0, but make note Eric leverages the safety system based on the TTRPG Safety Toolkit using red, and yellow cards. ⚠️The campaign does not contain: sexual assault, racial prejudice, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. ⛔Zero tolerance policy for harassment of any kind. This includes breaking safety and consent lines. We play games that emphasize emergent play - the kind of stuff that comes up when everyone "plays to find out" what happens next. If you come to the table in good faith and ready to roleplay at your comfort level, you are going to have a good time. One of GM Eric V's guiding principles is to create the space for you to be yourself and have a great time. Over the years I find that the folks who have the best time are looking for an experience that values roleplay, enjoys (or is willing to learn improv), and likes to flex character abilities in combat in equal measure.
