About me
I've been a player/GM for about 9 years now, and from my experience I've learned to adapt to nearly any circumstance thrown my way! I admit, I'm more into the story telling, I like to see my players succeed; so it sometimes hurts to see them fail(unless brought on by themselves!). I strongly believe in the player's choice, and if they aren't enjoying themselves I try to do what I can to keep everyone interested. I'm heavily influenced by the Grimdark of Warhammer 40k and touches of Andrej Sapkowski's Witcher, but that's typically under-minded by the works of Terry Pratchett; so many of the games I host are more akin to black comedies. I’ve got one complete curse of Strahd campaign under my belt, and am currently running a Wild beyond the Witchlight and Tales from the Yawning Portal campaigns; and will be running the Crooked Moon Campaign as soon as the book is made available!
GM Style
Have Fun; I believe heavily in the "Rule of Cool", if it makes sense - I usually won't question it. I do like 'Cause and effect' in my games, as to keep my players questioning their actions: yeah I can be manipulative... I believe in milestones, not EXP; I'm a nerd, not a psychopath! I honestly am technologically inept and genuinely have no idea how to use most systems, I've had some practice using Owlbear Rodeo as a VTT; and heavy Discord integrate has become a great part of the game! no limitations on character creation, I encourage all - If you wanna be a sentient toaster, go for it! I would only ask that there is unity in the party, I don't encourage lone-wolfs, edge-lords, or "it's what my character would do" types(I should know, my first character was all three and I still hate myself for it).

Players say this GM is great at:
Inclusive
Rule of Cool
Storytelling
After joining his long term play group years into their campaign, I (a brand new player) was fully integrated into play with open arms. For 2 years our weekly video call was the highlight of my week. Faust always finds a way to integrate whatever chaos players bring to the table into his world building.
