About Zach M

I have been game mastering for a little over five years, starting with Dungeons and Dragons 5e, and then running Blades in the Dark, and then Pathfinder 2e, which I am currently focusing on. I have happily been the forever GM of my group, and have loved expanding my social circles, learning both the mechanics of systems and the soft skills of GMing, and putting them together to give friends old and new a chance to enjoy the combination of epic fantasy, improv comedy, and tactical creativity that only TTRPG's can provide. I am excited for a chance to GM for a new audience and look forward to helping players create stories they will always remember.

I got started GMing...

During the height of COVID. I started with DnD 5e as a way of doing something social with my friends while in lockdown.

My favorite system of all Time is

Currently Pathfinder 2e but I am interested in more fiction first systems.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Doing food distro with Food Not Bombs. Trying to write a horror story. Playing video games.

How Zach M runs games

I am currently focused on GMing Pathfinder 2e, though I am interested in exploring lesser used systems. I am not a huge fan of how PF2e handles chases, but that aside, it's my favorite system. I typically use the Free Archtype optional rule. I am happy to run either Paizo's official adventure paths or homebrew a campaign taylored to player interests. I welcome players of all backgrounds, and would consider myself to be a completely beginner friendly GM. I have very much enjoyed how Virtual Table Tops like Foundry give me tools to make a more immersive experience for players with stuff like music, sound effects, visual effects, fog of war, and more.

If my games were Movies they'd be directed by...

Deep cut but I'll do with Yugo Sakamoto of the Baby Assassins franchise. Awesome fights, but also plenty of fun hanging out and roleplaying goofy social situation. Honestly I just like talking about Baby Assassins!

Rules are...

Important to run as written...until the player as an idea that's just too damn cool!

When it comes to voices

I make up for in enthusiasm what I lack in professional skill.
