About Trent
Howdy! I'm Trent and I go by TRENTJH in the online world, I've crafted my overarching setting and Brand known as Beyond The Wonderveil designed around Paizo Systems. I am a passionate storyteller, hailing from Manitoba, Canada. I've been dedicating myself to honing my craft in writing, storytelling, and GMing, while I've only converted to the pathfinder system with the release of 2e, my previous repertoire and experience with TTRPG's is backed by over a decade of experience. I also have a wonderful and slowly growing community revolving around Beyond The Wonderveil but all sorts of other interests as well, all while remaining LGBTQ+ friendly. I've refined my style of GMing to revolve around story telling, hand crafted tales dictated by the actions of the players, campaigns I run are meant to feel like a joint story between the players, and not some by-the-book tale. I also Make the Disclosure: Jinbeizamezama usually does my art/visuals while I handle in game Maps, however they are human and cannot be expected to have everything ready on demand or on short notice, with their blessing I use AI generative art as placeholders or when visuals are needed on short notice. I will never claim AI generative art to be apart of Finished Product.

I ran my first game...
After I had finished reading Deltora Quest when I was 16, I had used the books to help build a campaign for D&D 3.5 that fit within the setting, and honestly that was a pretty mess-up book geared towards youth, which would explain my gravitation towards gritty narratives
My favorite shows/movies are
I honestly have always been a huge fan of Twisted Metal (I own the entire Game series) and the live action adaptation is really good and I love it; also personally a huge hobbyist/amateur chef and really love Hell's Kitchen and Master Chef Canada.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Either working in the background, or playing games at Local game stores
How Trent runs games
My games tend to have a healthy balance of RP and Combat/encounters, ranging from 40-60 to 60-40, however I easily adapt to the type of story the players pursue and I'm very fond how how the Pathfinder 2e system allows for non-combat based encounters. I like to keep a sense of grit and tension in my games, but allow for moments of silly or humour to break tension and provide relief, and I feel like it's a good sign when people can have those moments, that I haven't gone to far into the grit. I typically run longer campaigns at in the 6-18 months range (assuming once a weeks sessions), a good story isn't something that is rushed through with the goal of reaching the end, it's about the whole journey, the tragedies, the triumphs, the small moments between where PC's find their favorite NPC or feel apart of the world.

I prep by
Spending several hours comparing my notes to story tree's I've written, and creating maps specifically for the story the players are perusing. (I have an ungodly amount of battle maps I have used once)
Rules are...
a prenominal foundation but malleable to keep play smooth and enjoyable.
When it comes to voices
I usually describe tone and vocal mannerisms, then give it an honest try. (I have had permeant vocal chord damage and some pitches just aren't possible for me anymore but I still try!)
