Ash the Mad

About Ash the Mad

Greetings Unfortunate Adventurers! My name is Ash and I am known as Ash the Mad/Insane/Unpredictable. You are most welcome at my table, and I will promise you fun and surprises, if nothing else! I started writing my own books and creating my own worlds since I learned how to write. I love fantasy and Sci-Fi settings and the moment I understood the possibility of being a Game Master -Creating a world then allowing my friends to play around in it-, was a new awakening for me. I have been running since 2016, usually with my own homebrew systems for my own novels. My tables are: - Welcoming and chill: No tryharding, armchair gaming or rules lawyering allowed. We're here to play a game and have fun. - Friendly: Players will solve conflicts cheerfully and in a friendly manner, and if there ever is PVP, it should be for the purpose of a great story. - Considerate: Everyone gets their own time in the spotlight, I actually keep track of how much each player is a time grubber and which player has been just watching. Don't be surprised if something comes up that only your out of spotlight character can react to/solve. - Creative: Everyone gets to unleash their creativity and fantasy, I will make room in the system mechanics if I have to to fit your ideas in. Enough about me though, let's talk about you. So you wanna be in a story huh? Strap in bucko, we're going on a wild ride. You're starting the campaign with the funny idea of consistency and going through a neat plot? That's really cute. Unfortunately, Man plans and God laughs. But fortunate for me, as it offers me endless entertainment. The quest is to kill the dragon and you decide to join it as thralls and turn around and flip the script on the king? That's amazing, didn't see that coming! I'll allow it. Escaping the Orc Chief's gladiator pens by seducing one of his wives instead of going through the 10 boss gauntlet I've prepared for you? Duck it, it's funny, go for it. Starting a Kingmaker campaign only to end up in the deserts of Qadira chasing a flying, talking spellbook of particularly bad manners? Baby I had laid an offramp rail aside the main rail all along and it excites me! I put in a ton of effort to engineer a possible scenario? I will allow you to ignore or circumvent it completely if you wish so and use a creative way to go around it. One shot the boss? You will have no salt from me. I will pat you on the head and give you a special loot, because it's endlessly funny to me. Afraid you won't be able to pick a different weapon at character creation? Not here. I would homebrew an entire class for you on the spot and compliment your creativity and rebellious nature. Rolled a 69 on a d100? There's now a cave on this hex that leads into an underground bioluminescent continent filled to the brim with a whole other campaign's worth of content that I had in a corner of my mind made in 30 seconds. I will reward you thinking outside the box, I will reward initiative and audacity with my invisible hand tipping the scales in your favor. I want an organic story that happens despite what's allegedly supposed to happen. I want to see your characters thrive and grow no matter what direction they decide to go in, and I will never Artificially force you into a choice. Do what you want, go where you wish, talk to whom you talk. I will prepare a whole world for you to explore and adventure in, not just the campaign you signed up for. I will give you dozens of campaigns in a single game because wherever you go, free spirit that you are, there is always a great adventure to be had. If I don't have it ready by the time breaktime is over, I will have it by the time of next week. If you welcome this flexibility, my games are for you. You shall be entertained to no end, in my process to entertain myself with a great story you're making, and I will always help you achieve such great things. Trust in yourself and me, and we will have immeasurable amounts of fun together. You will never go back to the way you played games before after this. I will see you soon my friends! AUDENTES FORTUNA IUVAT!
