About Zion
Hi, my name is Z! I am a 21-year-old GM who's been dming since I was around 10-11? I mainly got into tabletop from my Civics and Economics teacher, who got me into the hobby! I got into Gaming just because I like to tell stories! I find gaming is the best way to let my creativity flow freely. When I run the game, I want to focus on worldbuilding, story, & the characters. My main goal and drive is to make you fully invested in your character's story! I always love to get lost in characters with my players! I am a complete beginner in running games professionally, so please don't be afraid to give me feedback and a nice review! I'm always willing to improve!

How Zion runs games
I like to have a mix of both high-stakes combat and roleplay. I lean into roleplay mainly because it's just the best part of any tabletop game I'm in. When you roleplay, you're expressing your character and how they would react in this situation. It puts you on the spot and makes you think, "What would they do? How do they feel? Would they run? Would they stand?" That's what roleplay means to me! The pureness of it! Though I do love me some combat, exceptionally high stakes combat, where it makes you think about what you can do next, should you heal your downed party member, or risk attacking the monster in front of your wizard? I like to make my players think, plan, and act! I always reward those who are willing to risk everything for a chance of victory.
Zion's ideal table
Players who enjoy a rather roleplay-heavy/combat-heavy game feel free to join. I will always provide different ways to handle and every situation! If I think it could work It will work depending on the rolls!
