About me

Hi TTRPG fans Ashwin here! I'm an Australian based Gm. I've been playing ttrpgs for 15 years and have been a Gm since the release of the second edition of Pathfinder. During this time, I've played multiple different TTRPGs including DnD5e, Starfinder, Traveller, Alien and Pathfinder1e but I always end up back with my favourite system Pathfinder2e. If your completely new to TTRPG, wanting to try out a new system, a Pathfinder2e veteran or anywhere in between reach out and I look forward to guiding you through an unforgettable adventure. One of my players is currently streaming an Abomination Vaults game I'm running. If you are interested in seeing one of my games take a peak: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaMDrDIHMitJoY-9oJ7GBwHah_NNen81c But don't watch more then a session or two so you don't get spoiled on the adventure path if you would to play it! You can also take a look at this interview that the same player asked me to be a part of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glaNY3Ht8As&list=PLaMDrDIHMitK6OTTKmBKlh9UWz6VxWdpm&ab_channel=CrashGem

GM Style

I'm here to guide you but the dice tell the story. I love the tactical combat of Pathfinder2e while also enjoying roleplay to really bring depth to the characters and world.

Ashwin has a great attitude, keeps the game flowing, is knowledgeable, does good voice work, and ultimately curates a very fun time. He's taken on a group of experienced players who are new to the PF2E game system and has helped us learn and fostered our enthusiasm. Highly recommend!

Great DM for beginner adventurers! The man knows his stuff and makes a complicated game really fun to learn.

First time dipping into PathFinder, he was very helpful in dealing with my many questions and confusions. (Also it was a fun experience that he enabled for us)

Ashwin puts so much effort into storytelling and worldbuilding, and made me feel super comfortable as a new player. He lets players indulge their creativity but is good at gently steering people back on track if need be. We played a long campaign with Ashwin as our GM and every session was unique and interesting, and never got boring. 10/10 would recommend!

A veteran dungeon master and encylopedia of knowledge of the PF2E ruleset and universe. I would recommend Ash for his incredible game knowledge (which he has lent to me many times to help me theory craft creating my character and levelling up), fun play style, voices and excellent flow of gameplay. I have now played in several campaigns run by Ash with completely different sets of players from all walks of life and he does an excellent job allowing and facilitating everybody. I think he would make a fantastic DM for both beginners due to his game knowledge but also veterans as he has the knowledge to keep up and let the players set thier own pace.

We were able to play our characters the way we wanted, Our GM remembered things we would mention about our characters in random conversations then seamlessly add it into the story down the road making you feel like you were truly contributing to the story
