About me
Greetings Adventurers! I am Galdizan, a seasoned Game Master with decades of experience. I am also a gamer, an anime fanatic, and a lover of stories. My journey into the realm of tabletop gaming began during a stormy night at camp where a friend asked if I wanted to try out Dungeons and Dragons. Little did I know this event would spark a passion that led me to craft and explore an astounding array of diverse settings and adventures, with people from many walks of life. I've been running games for a long time, and it's often seen me through the challenges that life offers. A chance to escape the day to day, and to explore a fantasy realm surrounded by friends, companions, co-workers, or strangers, is an uplifting and an experience that I hope everyone gets to enjoy. There are a lot of things that keep me coming back to TTRPG's, the shared laughter after a win, the looks of horror as some new monster appears, the moments of joy and celebration after a hard fought victory, or the tearful goodbyes as a companion falls. But the thing that drives all of this is the players who join my table. Each of them brings a unique set of experiences to my games, and allows us all to create memorable moments together.
GM Style
Welcome brave adventurers! Below is a glimpse of what to expect at my table: 💀Challenging Combat💀 I am a GM who runs challenging campaigns where you will be confronted with death, capture, and dire consequences based on your actions and narrative choices. You will find yourself facing off against intelligent foes, fearsome beasts, and clever traps. Each of which is accompanied by incredible rewards or plot twists that push your adventures even further. Every victory will feel like an accomplishment, and your characters will grow and develop in astonishing ways! 📖Flexible Stories📖 I run games by what makes narrative sense in the world we've created, as much as by the rules as written. Every action has a consequence, but it will be grounded in the logic of the setting. There's nothing I love more than creative ideas and hairbrained schemes and I am always willing to weave my narrative magic to make them fit into our adventures. 🫵🏻You're The Main Character🫵🏻 Every story will be crafted around the characters in the world, and that includes those you bring to the table. YOU will be the star of the show, and will have a direct impact on the world around you. Each step you take will guide your story towards your goals and ambitions, leading your character to grow and bloom into the role you've always dreamed. Be it a mighty hero, a cunning king, a terrible tyrant, or a bartender who just wants other adventurers to experience the same wonder they did. Your stories are yours to tell after all. I am simply here to guide the path, and allow your tales to unfold.

Teacher
Galdizan provides a welcoming, relaxed, creative and immersive experience for his players through the usage of thematic soundscapes and music, enjoyable voice acting and exciting battle maps. He's extremely knowledgeable of the Pathfinder 2E ruleset and is patient and thorough in guiding players through the system's intricacies. Overall, he's a great DM who clearly understands the most important aspect of TTRPGs and that's simply to have fun. I always enjoy myself playing at his table and am looking forward to many more sessions this coming year. I certainly recommend Galdizan for beginners and veterans alike who may wish to escape into the wondrous world of Golarion and experience a great adventure.
Amazing DM! Galdizan is fantastic in all areas where a DM should be! He is extremely patient with new players and does an amazing job at helping them learn the game; I know this firsthand since I've never touched Pathfinder until playing with Galdizan. In terms of personality, he is kind and affable. As a DM, he does an amazing job at designing tough encounters that require some strategy and thought but are not tough enough to feel mean-spirited. Every week, I can't wait for the opportunity to play in his games!
Really inclusive and brings you up to speed if you never played the game before. Tough but fair and really solid preparation all around. Also is willing to cater to any of the player's whims and ideas. First time playing PF2e and it feels like getting the premium Pathfinder experience.
Best PF2E GM I've had the pleasure of playing with, hands down. Whatever aspect of the game you enjoy you will find it in spades in his games, beginners and veterans alike. If you enjoy the combat you will find diverse and deadly challenging encounters that will reward teamwork, creativity and tactical decision making. If you love the roleplaying aspects you will find a dynamic world that will change and mold to your choices, filled with memorable characters and stand out "spotlight" moments for every player. And if you like games where all this aspects are turned up to eleven and combined together into an extremely rewarding experience then you will find all this in Galdizan's games, guaranteed.
