About me

Hey guys! I'm a GM from Southeast Asia/Malaysia! You may know me from Here Be Dragons MY or have seen me at a TTRPG Con! I have been playing RPGs for over almost two decades!!! I have played and run tons of systems from your classics like D&D/Pathfinder, to tense nail biters like Mothership/Call of Cthulhu, and even fun improv games like Avatar Legends. Whether I am bringing you through a homebrew one-shot, or guiding you through campaigns across Golarion or Faerun, you can trust me to make it fun! I love introducing new players to TTRPGs, so whether you are a beginner looking to explore TTRPGs for the first time, or are a true veteran looking for intricate, gritty, adventure, I can help deliver the experience you want with vim, flare, and panache! I run my games online through FoundryVTT hosted through Forge, and I can run games in English, Malay, and Indonesian. I look forward to playing with you!

GM Style

I am a GM that tries to find the right style for the right moment, I care about well planned combat encounters, but also for descriptive and fun roleplay! When playing with me, expect custom animated maps, quirky voice acting, fullbodied and genuinely written characters, and special attention paid to your PCs and how they tie in with the world. I will work to make the rules work for you, as well. When the rules get in the way, I will do my best to interpret them in a way that enables your roleplay or guide you to the best way to get what you want out of the rules as they are written.

I had the pleasure of experiencing a campaign of DnD and Pathfinder 2e with an exceptional Dungeon Master whose creativity knows no bounds. Their ability to weave intricate storylines and develop rich, immersive worlds is truly impressive. Each session was filled with unexpected twists and engaging plots that kept everyone on their toes, they guided me through the game's mechanics with patience and clarity I felt comfortable and invested.

The GM that introduced me to Pathfinder 2E and a few other systems as well! Super creative and inclusive as well! I was captivated by the worlds he crafted and how easy it was to pick things up with him guiding me! Rest assured, you'll be in good hands!

Alex did an amazing job DM'ing my first pathfinder experience, he crafted a fully original setting based on local Borneo culture and mythology, I was enthralled from start to finish!

Got a chance to dip into the player side of Pathfinder 2e and had a blast! Alex introduced 5 Pathfinder newbies to a homebrewed portion of Golarion inspired by Southeast Asia (specifically Iban). Good roleplay, not overwhelming, and fantastic world building elements. Great times to be had at his table!

Alex was the GM for my first Pathfinder 2E game and he made it feel really effortless and fun! I loved how he incorporated Malaysian lore into the story and created such an interesting world for us to explore. His storytelling definitely kept us hooked and his NPC voices were great ✨❤️ Can't wait to play again!

The first GM to introduce DnD to me and continued to play with ever since. Every session has always been a blast, really cool guy and allows player creativity. If you've ever wanted to try DnD for the first time, he's THE guy.
