About me
I've been playing various forms of role-playing games formally for more than 2 decades, including online, written, table top and more, and informally, I've been playing and performing roles all my life. I love creating and sharing stories, all the more so when the players truly become part of the world by surprising me with their choices. Professionally, I have a background in history and am a recently-recovering educator, and I bring both to the gaming table by helping players learn the game and developing the massive living world of Ætheon where all of my campaigns and stories are directly interconnected with players having a direct impact on the world (and potentially, other campaigns).
GM Style
I'm a laid-back game master, allowing the players to take the lead and tell me what stories to tell. I enjoy role-playing and getting into NPC characters, but I tend to balance that with good combat encounters that make the players think about their tactics. I am not above allowing players to put themselves into dangerous positions (or putting them there myself) and allowing them to find their way out.

Creativity
Storytelling
Inclusive
This was my first time playing with a pro DM and for a one-shot campaign, Delphi pulled off a special experience. The setting was unique and well thought out, yet with ample room to cater to the players' sensibilities and even customize on the fly. Players' curiosity and creativity were amply rewarded. Delphi administered the session with authority, yet did so while being extra mindful of players' feelings, keeping the story going but without anyone feeling unheard or left behind. Also of note; Delphi knows the rules: very nice to have a DM who understands the differences between all the skills, such as Investigation, Perception, Nature, and Survival!
