About me
I have always been passionate about storytelling and role playing games. Even before I knew about tabletop games I loved the stories of the heavier rpgs and especially the fantasy genre. From the moment I was introduced to pathfinder it was a snowball effect for me. I finally had the outlet for all my storytelling desires. I adore the team building and cooperation that comes with fantasy ttrpgs. Working together to make a memorable story is fascinating, and lasts longer in the mind than almost anything else I know. I love introducing new players to this exciting world as well as having a heavy throw-down of a campaign with experienced players. This has become my passion and I live, breath, and eat tabletop games. I have experience with Pathfinder 1e and 2e as well as Dnd 5e and ADnd 2e. I mostly play in Pathfinder 2e now. I now run my games on Foundry VTT with Discord for voice/video. I have run many games of the officially licensed content, but am also open to homebrewing content. I just want to create with some great people.
GM Style
Absolutely love role playing. Do some voices but am no voice actor. My favorite moments are usually in role play, but combat is always fun as well. Rule of cool in effect when plausible.

Kent
He was a great Game Master, because he is so passionate about the game. He was great a illustrating the stories and characters involved. He was always prepared and ready for any side adventures we threw at him and he had a great understanding of the rules and game play.
Joel
Kendall's style of DMing is unique because not only is he incredibly knowledgeable about the game he is running, but he is also laid back and open to new/creative fun ways to play. The best thing I can say about our game together is that there was never a boring moment, it was always fun. Combat, dialogue scenes, long narration from the DM, it didn't matter what was happening, we were always having a great time.
Bilal
I enjoyed every session that I had with Kendal. He does an excellent job in setting the scene, as well as portraying the world that he has created; whether that be using existing material or homebrew content. He is knowledgeable in the rules of the systems he GMs for, but doesn't let them get in the way of telling an interesting story. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an engaging experience, so long as they are not trying to rules lawyer their way to victory.
Taylor
The GM is always willing to listen to your thoughts, ideas and directions of your character and works to help move those ideas into the game. I have never had any railroading problems and the GM tries very hard to leave the world open for exploration and filled with its own story (even in prebuilt campaign worlds).
Eli
Great GM for beginners, he will work with you and help teach you the game. Creates unique NPCs for you to run into making the world full of surprises
Zekiel Fialho
Excellent knowledge of the game system and comes prepared to each session in Foundry VTT. He is very creative on the fly and improvises well when game drifts outside of areas he probably expected the group to explore which provides players with freedom rather than railroading them along into his preparations. Details of areas and during exploration is well versed and not redundant. Combat is also well versed and does not feel repetitive. Allows players high level of creativity and encourages them to get interesting in combat. He tends to work with you to pull off fun and heroic things but frames it within the ruleset so it's not entirely a go wild situation without rules. I have gamed with him for going on two years now and each session is always fun and keeps me coming back for more.
