About shermal
Greetings adventures, To tell yah about little ole me, i am a story-teller, artist and a guy that makes funny sounds with my voice. i work very closely with my players to dive deep into their characters and help them tell their stories. i make intricate worlds, complex societies, deep mythology, but most importantly, fun scenarios. i want to build brilliant narratives with you, and throw you into combat encounters that would keep you at the edge of your seat, and have you praying in tongues to the dice gods. with you i want to tell stories that would inspire, stories that would make you make you cry, make you love, make you rage, and make you laugh. make you have simple, honest, fun. So come now adventures! there are monsters that needs slaying!

How shermal runs games
backstory i use every part of my players backstories, and with their backstory i flesh out my world. from a dishonored soldier wondering the world to find a new purpose in life and right their wrongs, to a fallen god having to dig their way through the mud; forced to walk the lands of the people they once looked down upon, to a guy that really likes gardening. i would make it all fit into my games and i would work with you to tell your stories. roleplay and story My games are roleplay heavy, but that roleplay comes naturally from the scenarios my players tend to put themselves in. i don't think of the plot of my games, only situations and scenarios, i leave it up to my players on how they would want to address and tackle them. i make you feel as your character would feel and only naturally you would act as your character would act. good roleplay are very well rewarded in my game. voice acting i am an amateur voice actor and i do my best to give every npc their own voice, through inflections, accents, tics and mannerism. i love immersing my players into my world with a little help from my tone voice. you don't need to do the same if that's not your thing, but if that's right up your ally then my game is for you. combat. From tossing assassin goblins off a cliff to sending Tiamat packing back to the nine hells with just clever uses of spells, i have a wide array of combat encounters that would either make you have a good laugh, or make you dread not asking for directions that didn't lead to the pit of flesh meld. Using your creativity, proper preparation, and power of friendship, you can roll like ass and just barely make it out alive with your heads held high.
