About me
I have been passionately playing TTRPGs since about 2014. Like so many before me (and after) I started out with 5e, but quickly moved on to more complex systems. Currently, my go-to is Pathfinder 2e. I find genuine enjoyment playing on either side of the GM screen, but probably have the most experience as a Game Master. Regardless of how I might be experiencing the game I tend to prefer approximately equal parts Immersive role-play, along with tense combat encounters. I also enjoy elements of mystery and intrigue. (also horror, I do have a soft spot for horror.)
GM Style
I tend to encourage role-play and out-of-the-box strategies most. I have found that most people who sit around my table appreciate my player-led narrative approach. I take great pleasure in crafting unique and engrossing characters, with their own, sometimes, intricate motivations and aspirations. In equal measure I also enjoy tense, tactical, combat encounters and/or dungeon crawls; often with interesting creatures or unique effects or traps that create new challenges for my players. The genres I tend to excel in include horror, mystery, political intrigue, fairytale/story adaptation, dark fantasy (and probably a few others I'm not thinking of at the moment)
