About Ethan hotckiss

My name is Ethan, I'm 33 and have been playing TRPGs for almost 20 years now back since AD&D Pathfinder, 3.5 and 5E. DMing nearly all that time. I'm a huge fan of fantasy novels, horror movies and tactic/strategy games such as FF tactics, X-Com, Divinity, Civilization. I personally love Tarantino, Mobster films, and movies such as Donny Darko, and other random cult films. I have great knowledge of most rule books, and have some minor home brewed changes I use myself in my campaigns that I feel add depth/challenge.

How Ethan hotckiss runs games

What can you expect from this epic campaign and me? • The campaign will be ran at the apex of my skills tailored around the characters and the player actions. This setting uses variants that will accelerate your character to mythical levels. • Transparent and Reliable DM who understands everyone is part of the group, and that a person is sitting behind their PC. • As a wargamer expect the most effective tactics the encounters presented in the module can bring, while staying true to what an RPG is. • Standard party size, having at maximum 6-7 players, helps to keep the party alive, while still allowing the freedom to work character plots in for a more personal experience. • While I am a fan of good tactics in combat, I am a bigger fan about letting the game go in unexpected directions! No rails here.• I optimize Roll 20 as best I can, no unnecessary pages and art. Expect the game to run as best as Roll 20 can. (which sometimes can be clunky) • Potential downtime chatting and dice rolling on discord, to handle personal tasks and elements that can be handled away from table time. • Answers to any questions, and whatever advice I can give out either for Players or other GMs.
