About Zesk
Fueled by ADHD and caffeine and I have been running games since 2016. I like running a variety of different themed games from whimsical and fantasy to dark, gritty and sci-fi. (It honestly depends on what media I've been consuming at the time) I prefer running long-term campaigns in rich, custom worlds where I have a bit more wiggle room to manage the unpredictability of players. I enjoy rewarding players with custom items and feats depending on the trials and challenges they have faced or for unique milestones.

My favorite books are
My favourite book is a series I read growing up called 'Skullduggery pleasant', their mix of mystery, fantasy and comedy. I also enjoyed a book called 'Left hand of god'
When I'm not running games I'm...
Procrastinating, thinking about running another game and creating characters I'll never actually use in a game. I also spend a probably unhealthy amount of time gaming, it's where I definitely don't steal most of my inspirations and ideas for games, worlds and plots.
How Zesk runs games
I enjoy running games with a good mix of combat and roleplay, I try and make sure there is some kind of combat at least once a session but happily run roleplay only sessions as well, I try and make all combats challenging but not every combat is going to be a life-or-death situations, sometimes its fun to just show off your characters skills. I enjoy using roll20 for maps and D&D beyond for character sheets with discord for video and camera (But only camera if everyone is comfortable using it) I also use discord for campaign music and sounds through Kenku FM and audio files to avoid those pesky ads breaking our precious immersion. I am more of a rule-of-cool gm than a rules-as-written gm and enjoy giving my players their time in the spotlight but I also enjoy giving my players challenges and and difficult moments for their characters as without challenge there isn't triumph.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
A good mix of roleplay, combat, music and ambience with the occasional comedic relief when needed.
I think min/maxing...
Min/Maxing is fine, you want to be good at a game, I get it, as long as you are also putting in as much effort into the rest of your chatacter.
