About me
Hi, I'm Aquila. I've been a Fifth Edition/OneDnD Dungeon Master for nine years. I have several homebrew worlds (known as my Multiverse), and I am currently developing my own TTRPG system. My ultimate goal with every campaign and game is to tell a collaborative, dramatic story through deep characters in a rich world. I accept players of all experience levels!
GM Style
As a GM, I focus a lot on characters, player agency, and maintaining verisimilitude. I want you, the player, to believe that the second world is real and treat it as such. I always love presenting my players with a challenge, and in that same vein, I really root for my players to win. I get excited about them and for them! My combat tends to be more tactical than most games as well. When it comes to intelligent monsters, they will make decisions that intelligent creatures would. As a published author, my strength shows in my character work and worldbuilding. Most of my games take place in my homebrew setting: Terris.

World Builder
As my first session Carl did a great job easing us in with a one shot campaign, showing us all the mechanics of the game. He catered his game to our groups specific niche, which called for a very strategic and visual heavy game. After the one shot campaign, he brought us into a longer campaign, where he walked us through character creation and with adjustments to fit our needs. Very friendly and passionate.
While I personally believe that most of the tags- if not all of them, apply to this DM, they're ability to improvise with creative players while retaining the feeling of a traditional game of DND is what sets them apart from other DMs I have had. Incredibly beginner friendly while also allowing for more knowledgeable players to shine :)
I wish I could select more of the tags that represent my GM but everything when playing the game feels very immersive and they make DND easy to understand. I went into the game starting with no knowledge about anything and I have learned a lot within the past sessions that I have been in. I really was able to find an imagination with the GM’s storytelling and voices, the different types of maps and effort that is put in to give the players a well thought out game.
