About me

Ayo! I have been into TTRPG's for a long time and have been DMing for almost all that time (ask me about my second ever D&D game if interested). I prefer pathfinder but don't worry if you don't know it, I teach D&D and Pathfinder regularly ^^ I am a pensioner in real life so I have quite a lot of time that I would love to spend with the greatest hobby in the world: TTRPG's

GM Style

I am very good at very small groups, I am the best when it comes to 1 or 2 players though I am comfortable with up to 5 players. I heavily focus on fun instead of specific characteristics. The dice will often determin life and death with a single number, but I will make sure that until that final verdict is there, your excitement will not be able to take it. I can make you fall in love with a world and characters, only to make you weep as they are killed or celebrate with joy as their life is saved. My session usually go on for quite a long time though that can be adjusted as needed. Prepare yourself for a world of adventure, excitement and joy, all mixed into a single package

fun :D good pacing, works well with players to make an interesting story, allows freedom of character choices while still keeping the game on track.

he was able to keep up with all the crazy shit i wanted to do even when he hadnt planned it at all. was also rather lenient towards me with the stuff i wanted to do finding some way for it to work with certain rolls or skills. also has (at least for our game) a very good story and world built for the game and is fair about stuff.

Deido explained the campaign and how to create and prepare my character (I was completely new to the game). His help and patience got me invested into the story and helped me and my friends have a wonderful experience. The use of visual aids helped set the tone, and he seamlessly wove in our near-gamebreaking choices. My favourite example of this is when my friend, who was playing as a chaotic evil version of Macgyver (an engineer-type character), was able to make a flamethrower using flawless logic to justify why it would work. Deido's world-building is also comendable, as he's taken me on campains through mountains, dungeons, cities, and a multitude of biome- each with unique enemies and challenges. Deido is a flexible GM who can be as crazy, lighthearted, dark, or silly as you are, and can weave together worlds and characters like no other GM I've played with. I cannot recommend him enough, and always look forward to playing with him as my GM again. TL:DR: Newbie-friendly: 5/5 Storytelling: 4/5 World-building: 5/5 Creativity/flexibility: 6/5 Voices: 4/5

He allows for really creative sollutions to problems, when you can explain it properly, he'll go "I allow it!" His stories are interesting and he manages to rerail a completly derailed campaign. 10/10 would attend Lucifer's Wedding again.

Literally the best DM i've ever had. Helps a lot when making a character, and actually tries his best to not only include you into the world, but make you an essential part of it. Adds quite a lot of detail into his sessions and gives a lot of freedom on your decisions, whether they are bad or good :D. So far I've been having a blast during the sessions (I literally have a spell that lets me remove peoples pants :D). Beginner or not, I suggest at least trying one session :D
