About me

I've been playing ttrpgs for nearly 30 year, and have been running them almost as long. My roots are in D&D, but I have a love for, and experience in, many varied games. White Wolf games, and anything Star Wars are probably my next most played. My fantasy influences come from classics like LotR , Willow, Conan, and of course piles of D&D novels and gaming experiences.

GM Style

I'm a huge fan of RP, and encourage it as much as possible. I also enjoy tactical combat when it serves, and usually run an alternating 60/40 split, depending on players and campaign.

I have played games run by this GM for many years, and it has always been an incredible experience. Our most recent game, we used Foundry VTT and WOW! The effort that he put in to the maps, the ambient sounds, and the background music setting the tone and the tension for the game. The howling winds and the slow fade in of the music was truly a brilliant beginning. They used distinctive voices for all of the NPCs, and even incorporated an electronic voice changer for the BBEG that we had our first encounter with. The pacing was good, the dialogue with the NPCs was solid. We have people of all experience levels in our game, and I love that the newer players were comfortable with this GM and felt like they could really stretch and get the feel for their characters. He encourages background development and joint character development as we move forward through the story, cultivating a rich RP environment - with a healthy dose of danger and combat. I can't wait for our next time rolling dice together!

You can feel the passion that Exarkin has for the game and creating a world for you to adventure in. As a newbie, he was very patient and willing to explain the steps as we played and never got frustrated. The games we have played have been well told and set up. I wish I could pick more than 3 tags, haha, Exarkin really is fantastic at this and would be a brillant DM for any session.
