About me
Hi, I'm Walid! 👋 I have been hooked on TTRPGs since 2015. Over the last decade, I’ve been running weekly one-shots across dozens of systems and managing epic, long-term campaigns. I bring a decade of passion to every session! My Experience: I have been running games for nearly a decade, fueled by a passion for collaborative creativity. My goal is to create a dynamic table where the narrative breathes. I thrive on reading the room—knowing exactly when to lean into a dramatic beat or when to let the table erupt in laughter. Play with me if you want a GM who is as invested in your character's ups and downs as you are. My Background: I discovered the hobby in 2015 via Actual Plays and haven't looked back. I have experience with a vast library of indie systems (my faves!) and the industry's biggest titles. Outside the Game: When I'm not prepping sessions (or organizing my life via Excel spreadsheets), I am studying Philosophy and Political Science in Montréal. I love cinema, video games, and showing off my cat to my players. Let's tell a story together :)

Creating your character
Character creation will all be done during our Session 0! All Playbooks allowed, except for fan-made playbooks.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You need a microphone, a Discord account and an Alchemy account to participate! A camera is not mandatory but greatly recommended!
What Walid brings to the table
Most importantly, I consider players to be the driving force of any story! I'm here to react to your inputs, your wants and needs for the story. I will gladly take the story in unexpected directions if it's something the party wants! I use ambient music and sound effects on Discord to set the tone at the table. I very much enjoy doing character voices, roleplaying intense moments, letting characters take the spotlight when needed! I also enjoy giving creative inputs to my players in the heat of the moment. Allowing them to describe an NPC, tell me something about a location or a city... If that's something you think you'll enjoy, I am very excited to have you at my table! Worldbuilding is my strong suit! I love going in depth when creating the worlds my players inhabit. Halcyon City will be tailored to you!

Safety
How Walid creates a safe table
Session 0 will be an opportunity for us to talk about Lines and Veils (which will be able to be brought to the table anonymously), as well as set the tone more specifically with everyone. This is an opportunity to facilitate our cooperation and see if you mesh with the group! My games have an Open Door policy: you are free to leave the virtual table and the game as a whole at any moment without owing an explanation and without judgement. For our in-session safety tools, I use Script Change through a Roll20 add-on, which I'll explain during Session 0. In brief, Script Change is a safety tool that allows to control the pacing of the game both for comfort and to give input to the GM during our session. You can learn more about it here: https://thoughty.itch.io/script-change
