About DeviousFinn
Hi, my name's Finn! After years of wanting to play D&D but being unable to find a DM, I decided to take the initiative(pun intended) and learn how to run 5e. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made! Since then I've run hundreds of games for several groups. I tend to run campaigns in my own homebrew worlds, building the narrative around the player's backstories and in-game choices. I absolutely love this game and can't wait to share it with someone as talented and imaginative as you!

I became a GM because
I'm a huge nerd. I've always loved Roleplaying, so it's natural that I'd love a hobby like this one.
I got started GMing...
5 years ago, when a good friend passed away, we had always talked about D&D and how fun it looked, but didn't have a DM, We went so far as to gather a group of potential players, but no one wanted to run the game. After he passed, I decided to learn the system and run it in his honor.
When I'm not running games I'm...
Prepping my next session, playing video games, or world building!
How DeviousFinn runs games
I'm a big fan of world-building (I drew my first fantasy map when I was 6 years old) and like to create rich and vibrant worlds for my players to explore. I love to take character backstories and incorporate them into the narrative of my campaigns. I want you and your characters to feel important and impactful to the central tension of the world. I do a lot of voices and love creating fun and memorable NPCs. I like twists, and I promise I will never stop trying to surprise you. I tend to balance roleplay and combat and use a lot of homebrew in my games.

My games focus on...
The players, some groups like to stay on the ball jumping from encounter to encounter, others like to chill in a tavern and role-play for 3 hours, the focus changes table by table based on the players' taste.
Rules are...
Meant to be flexible, if the rules aren't fun they should be changed!
When it comes to voices
I try to give a wide array of accents, tones, and characterizations that add variety to the game.

I love it when a player
Take initiative, make it clear what they want for their character, and collaborate at the table to tell the best story we can together
I think min/maxing...
Perfectly fine, this game is meant to be fun, it's perfectly natural that you want your hero to be powerful!
My table is not the place for...
Bigotry, short tempers, and murder hobos
