About Paul
Greetings Wanderers! My Name is Paul, i'm from Germany and have been playing and GM-ing D&D 5e for over 3 years now. As many of us i have started playing with a Group of Friends at my Hometable where i immediately got benched on the Position as Forever GM. I want to provide my Players a safe Space to play, relax and escape the everyday Life of Reality, being able to play our silly little Game with our biggest worry being how good our Math Rocks roll. No matter if Political Intrigue, Battles of Epic Scales or Historical Secrets waiting to be uncovered, i want to let my Players immersive in a rich World with unlimited potential for shenanigans. Being a Gamer for many years and loving to deep-dive into the Lore of Games & Shows i enjoy, both my Stories and my Homebrew World, where most of my Campaigns take Place, are greatly inspired and influenced by various different Worlds. To sum this up, i enjoy working together with my Players to create detailed and rich characters, that are not just bland inserts into a random Setting, but have a unique Origin, Relationships and Goals within the World. I hope this was a good Introduction about myself and what my Games are about. If you are interested in joining my Table i would love to hear from you and i'll see you tomorrow! Greetings from Germany, Paul!

People are always surprised when I tell them
...i started cosplaying at Conventions. Even though i'm not yet skilled enough to craft my own Cosplays, i already love walking around as my favourite Characters. And it surprusingly helped against social anxiety.
How Paul runs games
"That is an amazing concept, let me see what i can do with this" My Games are usually more roleplay-focused, trying to integrate the characters and their Backstories and Journeys into the Worlds History, instead of having them as blank inserts without stakes and connections. While being roleplay-heavy, i try to have a good split between Social Interactions, Combat and Exploration, so that every character can show off their respective strength and have their moments in the Spotlight. While i tend to stay close to the Rules as Written/Intended, i want to encourage Players to use their Features and Spells in creative Ways, while not diminishing the Abilities of others. My biggest Strength is my Worldbuilding, which comes from my Tendency to take Tropes, Concepts and Ideas from other Games and Movies i find interesting and rewrite them into my own World and Stories, to see what i can do with them or what Twist i can give them. So naturally, aspects of my Worlds will be familiar to some of my players, while being completely new to others.

My favorite trope is...
...the Ancient Civilization that was destroyed for meddling with things beyond their control, only for researchers of later generations to find the remains of their work and thinking they could make it work, while never wondering why or how that great civilization was destroyed
My games focus on...
...exploring the Characters, their Backstories and their place in the World, while simultaneously dealing with a greater looming Threat, that the characters and their Destinies are inevitably tied into.
