About me

Hello there! I'm Masa, I've been a Game Master for nearly a decade and I've for the last five years I've run four Campaigns a week. I have run roughly a thousand sessions, most of which were online, and I'll bring all of that expertise, knowledge, quick thinking and improvisational skills to the table I'll create stories, worlds and NPCs worthy of you and your time. Be it historical or sci-fi, low or high fantasy, light or rules-heavy, investigative or political, I'll create something of your liking. If you are a new player, it will be my pleasure and honor to bring you into the wonderful world of ttrpgs. If you are a veteran, it will be my pleasure to surprise you. Hopefully, you'll remember my games for a long time. If you wish try a system not in my repertoire, it might be because I haven't run it for at least 48 hours (roughly 12 sessions). Fell free to contact me anyway

GM Style

I live for roleplay and worldbuilding The story comes above all else but don't expect reality to bend to how cool you action was: consistency demands it I tend to run Rules as they were Intended (RAI) rather than as Written (RAW) Combat will be present in accordance to the system's logic and the players' wishes but they'll serve the story, for combat is but a piece in one's Saga. This means that you can expect roughly half of the sessions in a D&D Campaign to contain combat, while in Vampire the Masquerade there might be one or two combats in the entire Chronicle. I love my player to act and go as they please and most of my campaigns are open world, with more or less sandbox as requested

He made playing a new game(House) fun and was patient with explaining the system, but also kept it easy to understand so we didn't bog down in details or what ifs. Worked at making to scenes come to life with description and voices.
