About me
I enjoy the 3 pillars of fantasy TTRPGs 🏰 Exploration and ancient places give me wanderlust 🏹 Combat scratches an itch in my board-game-loving brain 🧙♂️ Roleplaying and engaging in the setting is always fun I always loved playing board games, I always loved reading fantasy fiction... But it took me 15 years to properly take a step into the TTRPG world; I came across Critical Role's first campaign live one day and that was it, I was hooked. Ever since then, I've been heavily involved in the hobby, using different settings, systems, and genres.
GM Style
⚖️ I keep a good balance between 3 pillars and encourage players to be creative in every aspect of the game. This allows different players to shine under various spotlights for an experience that is fun and engaging for everyone. 🌋 I create interesting locations, skill challenges and character puzzles for exploration scenes. Players might have to dig around, find long lost clues. Or the place might be an easter egg to keen players who are interested in the lore of the world. I sure am. 🎯 I design combat encounters to be more than "reduce enemy's HP". Players might have to find weak spots, or discover the true intentions of their foe. There might be time related, NPC related or other goals of an encounter. 🗣️ I am not great with accents but I love roleplaying through mannerisms. Players might vary between saying "I do..." and "My character does..." I think both are valuable and there's an art to both first person and third person roleplaying. I incorporate it all into my roleplaying.

I met “Çınar” through Fantasy Grounds in 2018. During the “Lost Mine of Phandelver” and “Storm King's Thunder” D&D 5E games we played, he was very familiar with the rules as a GM and allowed us to have a pleasant time by using his own creativity. He always came prepared for the games and was punctual and engaged with the players in their character development outside of game time. I had the opportunity to play with him again this year and he has improved himself even more in the past 6 years. He made music preparations according to the ambiance over Discord. If you are looking for an experienced GM, someone who is interested in his players regardless of whether they are beginners or experienced players, someone who takes the role of GM seriously, this is definitely “Çınar”.
Cinar was my first DM a few years back. Thanks to his introduction to tole playing games, I'm always on the look out for new campaigns. He can find a good balance between rules, difficulty, role playing and story telling according to the party's needs. I know because our party had power players and role players at the same time and be able to express themselves on the same table. He is always helpful both in and out of sessions so you are not left alone trying to navigate a new game. Definitely brings out the good things about table top RPGs.
I have played with Çınar for more than 3 years and it was absolutely fantastic. I still cherish those characters and it was some of the best RPG I have ever experienced. He is very methodical with his preperations, he uses visual aids and materials a lot and it is very easy to immerse yourself in the world that he have built. I most definately recommend Çınar to any player looking for a GM. You will have the adventure of a lifetime.
He is a remarkably talented gm, exhibiting his expertise and passion regardless of whether it's the players' initial experience or their tenth session. His readiness to assist and ensure everyone's active participation characterizes his commitment to the game. Our Pathfinder sessions resonate with laughter and camaraderie under his guidance. He infuses the campaign with joy for all players, while his fortunate dice rolls add an extra layer of excitement to the gameplay.
