About me

I have some hosting experience with Pathfinder 1e and Pathfinder 2e as well as Dungeons and Dragons 5th. I am newer to 2e both as a player and a DM but i have fallen in love with the system. I favor heavy roleplay but it goes without saying that combat can also be really enjoyable. Generally my overall goal is that everyone has fun while playing, experiencing gripping stories, having fun and seeing how the players actions impact the world and the people around them. So more than anything, I want everyone to have a blast. That being said if there are issues that arise between players I try to play the neutral party and mediate, while I don't like kicking out players I will if their continued presence would hurt the game and the experience of others.

GM Style

Generally my stile leans into Roleplay a good bit, i try to make voices unique and different enough for someone to differentiate who they are communicating with. Combat wise i like to make it feel interesting and having enemies and creatures act realistically. This tends to mix nicely providing varied difficulties based on who and what your facing. Aside from that i do pride my self at my ability to adapt and improve on the spot. Finally my main focus as a GM is that all my players are having fun at the end of the day and build and experience stories that will stick with them.

Mia is an expert at his craft. He is able to weave compelling stories within a unique world punctuated by tense, high stakes combat. He's more than willing to work with you on making your character feel truly special. His game has become the highlight of my week.

Incredibly knowledgeable gm, who's willing to budge the rules for the sake of cool or creativity. Excellent world building with lots of elements to explore and interact with.

Great GM, allows for creativity and inclusion, always rules in favour of a story over mechanics whenever there is a dispute about that.

Amazing DM, always open to ideas, great descriptions, lots of characters being managed at once, all super impressive. Helpful with the VTT used, and checks in with players making sure we're all there and having fun. Has done great personal things for my character and I can only assume everyone else's as they didn't pertain to me. Was great to play with and made everyone's engagements equally entertaining.

You want the complete package? A GM who listens to you and crafts narratives around the backstory you slaved over? Marko is that package. You'd be crazy NOT to join their game.

Marko has been a wonderful DM such a great help in getting my character to fit into a setting and was very happy to see him take the effort in making custom abilities/new maps that fit the setting as well as helping with backstory questions to help my character feel unique along with his use of music and the way he explains a scene helps me feel better in taking part of rp
