About me

Hi! I'm Cloud Draxie, GM, artist, and overall tabletop and board game enthusiast. As a GM and as player, I value the fun of everyone at the table and support the cooperative nature of TTRPGs. I require my entire table to be LGBTQ+ friendly. I also require that the party be a team in and out of character, meaning there is normally no PvP or stealing from other PCs in my games. My main games are Pathfinder 2nd edition and Upwind, but I like to learn and try out new games too. I enjoy telling stories with my players and challenging them with tough but winnable encounters. I learned game master largely in online settings, so I am quite comfortable running sessions over voice chat and on virtual tabletops, namely Discord and Foundry VTT. Because I always like to have a unique representation of my own characters and understand that some of my players feel the same, I can offer to draw personal little portraits to be used as player tokens in my games that last more than a few sessions.

GM Style

I like to balance roleplay, combat, and exploration, but mostly I take cues from my players' actions and words to figure out what needs to come next or if I should nudge them back towards the plot. If my players are up for it, I enjoy running tough combat encounters and rewarding cleverly thought solutions.

I had a good time playing with Cloud over the course of an entire AP. As a GM, he is knowledgeable about the game and with his tools, and he is very responsive to player feedback in general, tailoring the experience to fit the group.

It's a blast to play with Cloud Draxie. They are ever so relaxed and bring a good ambience to the game. Their knowledge is impressive, with lots of the 3d party stuff and alternative rules being acceptable. I picked Cloud because I was new to PF2 and wanted someone who could teach me the game while playing. And boy do they deliver! Very beginner friendly without being pedantic and without making you feel like a fool. Only possible downside is that we play without video of eachother (there is of course Foundry VTT - on their own server), but other then that a superb GM.
