About Freja the DM
Heyo would be adventurers! I am Freja the DM and GM. I am here to show you a fantastical tale of strife and hardship. Glory and wealth. Plunder and secrets. I have been DM'ing for the better part of 8 years now almost non-stop, practically since I turned 18. And what I can bring to the table? A full world, Archeria, complete with ages of history and epic stories to tell your friends about. A complete pantheon of 28 home-made gods with their own mythos and lore. A complete outer circle of planes. And several regions of the world you will be playing in; Archeria.

I became a GM because
My friends, roughly 8 years ago never knew how to run tables. Being who I was then, I stepped up and have never looked back. I've grown over the years to finally be able to do this for a form of income. A dream come true.
My favorite system of all Time is
Level Up: Advanced 5e. I run it professionally and it fixes the downfalls of original Dungeons and Dragons 5e (2014) at least. Player choice and customization is the largest thing, which I find fascinating and allows for more wacky/cool/weird player concepts!
When I'm not running games I'm...
Usually playing any variety of games with my closest friends and partners! Currently Stellaris, Tabletop Simulator and Helldivers 2 are my current passions. Though MechWarrior will always have a place in my heart.
How Freja the DM runs games
A good 70/30 split between roleplay and combat, but this can change depending upon the current story and location of the party. Speaking of, my combats are designed to be hard. Death will always be a possibility and role-playing consequences will be at hand. Your story choices matter, and there will be a lot. I do not differentiate between good and evil. Everything is relative. Everyone has their motivations and backstory. It's just up to the players to uncover that story. Expect rich and deep history and lore with my world. Always something new to learn.

I deal with rules issues by...
going with what makes the most sense, realistically and thematically. I have been on the end of rules lawyering, but I like to be flexible for both players and myself.
I prep by
Putting on a playlist that fits the campaign and thinking of what all needs to be done. Slowly and surely I knock it out, be it custom monsters, Heroforge art or combat maps/social encounters!
Rules are...
Always a suggestion, not a hard rule. I will often bend the rules if it helps players do things thematically. But I will stick to the rules in combat, as rules are there for a reason.
