About Maik

(ENG) Hi! My name is Maik, and I've been playing role-playing games weekly since 2004. I've already Game Mastered for over 100 modules, typically with an average of 4 players each time. I'm currently studying pure mathematics (no, not for teaching! :D). I've played with at least 400 different individuals, taking on the role of the Dungeon Master 95% of the time. I've also led games for random people at larger events like Feencon. For the past 2 years, I've been a professional Game Master with a 100% positive player rating (try to prove me wrong! >:D). My favorite aspects of role-playing are: 1. Portraying characters and role-playing 2. Creating atmosphere 3. Deadly encounters 4. Leveling & looting 5. Combat 6. Dungeon crawls Things I don't like: 1.Metagaming 2. Immature behavior 3. Blame game Happy gaming to everyone! :) ------------------- (DE) Hi!

just having a lot of fun gaming, reading, meeting friends, doing maths, designing my own games, voice acting, acting, a bit of sports and yeah, just being me I guess :)

I deal with rules issues by...

If I don't know a rule, I'll make a ruling for the moment and will read up later if it's something minor and will multitask very smoothly to google quickly on the side while game flow doesn't get interrupted at all. Like a magician: as long as you're looking right, I can google left ;)

I once ran a session...

- for a friend solo for 3 yrs and it was a blast - where I made a player cry because of excitement haha - for an all women's group for 8 yrs and man that was a blast!

Rules are...

there to regulate the game, but not dominate it. We're here to have fun, not to argue about the rules. They are generalized and always need a good chunk of context. I try to use them like 90% of the time, but there's nothing that can replace a good judgement call of a DM with experience.

Maik's ideal table

I love good RP, dramatic scenes in game, villain monologues, dark fantasy, player victories, just roll dice < smart gaming. Players have all the freedom in the world in my games but should wear that power with caution. My Villains will be smart, will react accordingly to your actions, will prepare against you and the intel you're giving them and so on. In return, you'll have the same kind of opportunities as well. I'm a very fast paste combatant, so my turns (including cool descriptions and style!) take around 10 sek. I do not expect my players to do the same, but it's very appreciated if you'd not take like 5 mins for your turn. I'm a voice actor and did a lot of improv theatre. I love telling stories with dramatic heights as well as having just a chill session. I always listen to my players in what kind of game their interested and adjust accordingly. Every backstory of the players characters will be touched upon and matter in the long run.
