About Alex F
Howdy folks! I've been a DM for near a decade now with a high focus in collaborative worldbuilding. I run a laid back table that sticks to the rules and love fleshing out the world with the players as they explore their way through it. I focus on Pathfinder 2e and D&D 5e, but am always looking out for new systems to try with my players. My adventures typically take inspiration from enough anime and science fiction to buckle a bookshelf, with sprinklings of fantasy shenanigans. I run modules, one shots, and homebrew worlds that we can decide on during session zero. My table is BIPOC friendly, LGBTQIA+ friendly, and open to everyone.

Rules are...
The GPS for how we go about our adventures. We can skirt around them if they're not working towards where we're trying to go, but in general, they should be followed.
Alex F's ideal table
If you love learning about your character and making stories with other people, you'll fit in great at my table. My main focus is on building up situations and problems for the players to solve in whatever way they see fit and rolling with wherever that takes us, even if it means defeating the final boss via pushing them into a pool of water and trapping them in it like its Sims 2, or inadvertently destroying the global economy half way through the game. Winning isn't the focus, making the memories is.

I love it when a player
Adds their own bits of lore into the story. We're working on the story together, so feel free to add your own bits in, and I'll try to follow up on them.
I think it's a red flag when players...
Initiate PVP unprompted. Unless both players agree to it, I don't want to see it.
I think metagaming...
Looking up the monsters stats in the middle of combat? Whack. Ickie. Disgusting. Discussing with your teammates why you think you should make a decision out of character? Totally fine.
