About Shodan
I go by Shodan, I'm LGBTQ+ friendly I don't have any negative feelings for any groups of people that I feel often haunts online games where the players and the dm do not know each other well enough and I do my best to be not let politics or controversial subjects into any game I run. I've been dungeon mastering for twenty years across six+game systems I believe in allowing players to be creative while enforcing the rules in a fair unbiased fashion and working with my players to tell their story, some dms call themselves story tellers but I tend to think of that as limiting after all we are working together to tell the story so it's as much mine as it is my players.

My favorite books are
My favorite books are Written by Mark Lawrence, The Broken empire which is a fairly edgy book series of dark fantasy and science fiction set in a post apocalyptic world, the follow up series called the Red queens war which is the same setting but with a largely more humorous take on the same subject
How Shodan runs games
I love to create intricate games with rich and deep lore I always do my best to encourage roleplay and will always facilitate deeper player focused moments, I gauge appropriate combat difficulties for the players skill level but I also train players in any system to be able to better enjoy it.
Shodan's ideal table
My Ideal table Is one where the players are respectful of each other and myself, a polite table of reasonable players will tell a better story then four or five brilliant players who have no manners stepping on each others moments, a darker setting or themes does not benefit from players carrying that vibe in how they play and interact with each other.

I am for a vibe that's...
Friendly and encouraging to new players and experienced players alike, serious tones when they are called for are only for characters, players should always free to ask mechanical questions of me even in my free time, teaching is one of my most important roles.
I love it when a player
Invest themselves in the story and always reward questions and effort to the best of my abilities, I also love it when players take it upon themselves to take notes and read the lore for the setting which I tend to provide in surplus.
