About me

G'day his, hers, theirs and all others inbetween welcome! Thank you for your time today. Name's Ikarus (He/Him). A homebrew advocate, TTRPG fanatic and loud mouth extrovert. I know what you are thinking, 26 seems a little young to be calling yourself a Veteran DM. But with over 10 years of experience dungeon mastering since the inception of 5th edition, I have a plethora of practice writing, running and playing the game. A destined forever DM from day dot. In our adventures I aim to create opportunities for: - Intense bouts of combat. - Dynamic integration towards character focused story beats. - Emotional roleplay between not only players but npcs. - Fun and creative options. - And most importantly a ton of laughter! I support all walks of life, cultures, communities, sexualities and beliefs. I strongly advocate that TTRPGS is a place for everyone! Discrimination, Intolerance and Bullying will not be tolerated! So please if you are willing to delve deep with me and adapt to my way of speech, grab your bag of holding and YIP YIP!

GM Style

The birth of my playstyle had been molded early on. Influenced by the content I consumed. The likes of Brennan Lee Mulligan, Ivan Van Norman, Mathew Mercer, Matthew Colville, and Steven Lumpkin, helped my understanding of what necessities a DM needs to take when narrating a campaign. Other important influences that shaped my idea of storytelling come from our world’s natural, ancient and modern history including the diverse array of myths and legends from a multitude of cultures. Media that has refined my creativity include stories such as; - Alice in Wonderland - All Tomorrows. - Arcane. - Attack on Titan. - Avatar the Last Airbender. - Bleach. - Castlevania. - Castlecrashers - Chainsaw Man. - Cloverfield. - Dogma. - Dungeon Meshi - Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. - Gears of War. - Halo. - Hellboy - HxH. - The Dark Crystal, Age of Resistance. - The Labyrinth. - The Ritual. - The Witcher. - Vinland Saga. - Warhammer 40k. - and Where the Wild Things Are. I find player-focused storytelling and an open display of creative liberty, grounded in a level of realism, helps postulate a sense of wonder and excitement for the players. Engaging in my campaigns will feel fresh and unique. Through homebrew content written by yours truly and well renowned third-party creators including: - Kobold Press. - MCDM Productions. - Mage Hand Press. - Taron Pounds. - Ross Leiser. - Benjamin Huffman. - Heavyarms. - The Griffon’s Saddlebag. - and many, many more! I create a new, yet familiar adventure from that of the standard 5th edition or even the 2024 edition of the game. Your ideas are valued and if you have something that fits within the theme of our story, then gosh darn it I'm going to try and balance it! (within reason of course). I am open to novice and veteran players who are willing to learn a slightly altered, innovative rule set that assists in a fulfilling rounded story, and are patient and kind to their fellow adventurers.
