About me
Hi, I'm Adrian and I am addicted to GMing. I started GMing because I couldn't find a game to play in. I quickly fell in love with it, and I do it to this day, still with the same passion, but now with much more experience and kobold voices.
GM Style
As a GM, I believe that my main goal is to provide a world for the party to grow together, and to explore their own personal stories while pursuing a greater goal through roleplay and combat. I always do my best to weave player character's backstories into the main storyline to truly make it a special and one of a kind journey. I am patient with new players, and eager to help you learn the rules of Pathfinder 2e. I believe that a lot of fun in TTRPGs comes from adventuring with your friends, and that is the atmosphere that i am always trying to cultivate. My games are a healthy mix of roleplay, combat, puzzles, humor, and mysteries. I use a lot of art and music to help you immerse yourself in the world. 99% of my combats are run on battlemaps, with custom tokens that I make for my players. I mainly GM Pathfinder 2e adventure paths, expanding on them, as well as putting my own spin on them when applicable.

Adrian is fun and flexible, while being patient enough to explain the rules to newbies, and to excuse any honest mistakes. He manages personalities and time very well, and allows the group to figure out if they want hijinks or drama, along with silly voices and knowledgeable GM decisions.
Adrian is a great GM and gives the feeling of playing with a friend. His support throughout the sessions have allowed me to go from a complete TTRPG newbie to understanding the game and being confident about roleplaying. I am really glad to have had Adrian to teach me the game, as I now feel ready to play and bring my creativity and spark in any games I will play in the future. Adrian knows the rules well and you can tell that he is making sure that players are having fun. He always make space for players to do what they want, while making sure the game keeps moving forward and doesn't get bogged down. Roleplay parts are fun. He makes endearing characters with funny voices (without taking himself too seriously about it, which is awesome). Combat is often tense and I have been at the edge of my seat many times. Engagements are diverse and really varied, and some of them have been really memorable. Adrian has been always available to answer questions about the game. He also took seriously and dealt efficiently with "that kind of player" that was creating enjoyment problems for the rest of the group. Those weekly sessions are one the highlights of my week and I look forward to each of them. I am honestly having the time of my life when I am playing. Adrian runs a lot of prewritten modules and adventures, and if that is what you are looking for, I can only recommend him, especially if you're not too confident about knowing the system well enough or if you are a TTRPG newbie.
