About me

Well met! I’ve been GM-ing since 2019, running everything from one-shots to a three-year bi-weekly campaign. My style of storytelling tends to be gritty, character-driven fantasy with enough humor to bring out occasional laughs from folks. I draw inspiration from writers like Joe Abercrombie, George R. R. Martin & Robin Hobb. I'm also influenced by video games: The Witcher, Shadow of Colossus, etc. At my table, player freedom is at the core. I enjoy when players test the limits of my imagination and push the story in an unforeseen situation. I tend to return that favor, putting players in a situation where they have to improvise on the fly, which can be a daunting task. Yet individuals who enjoy that type of challenge tend to have a great time in my games. My goal is always to create a vivid theatre-of-the-mind experience where players can unleash their creativity and leave with unforgettable stories. I favour Theater-of-the-Mind style GM-ing because we want to mimic a real life table experience as closely as possible.

Character creation

Creating your character

During Session 0, we’ll go through character creation step by step and discuss how each character fits into the world. Have an idea of your character ready.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

A Theater of the Mind experience, we'll be using Discord - which is the only app you need. We want to mimic a real-life table experience as much as possible.

What IvanGMT brings to the table

We will be using the 5.5e D&D ruleset - if your not familiar with the latest edition or the 2014 version, I'll provide guidance. The tone of the game is horror/thriller. There will be occasional ambient/action music. Only Theater of the Mind, no other apps aside Discord are required.

Homebrew rules

We'll talk about it on session 0, no big changes to how the game is originally presented.
