About Galdizan

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.

My favorite books are

My favorite books are fantasy and sci-fi. The Wheel of Time will always hold a special place for me as a true master work in literature! I've read a lot though, from Eragon to the Malazan Books of the Fallen, to Star Wars.

When I'm not running games, you'll often find me playing in them, watching shows, or exploring the seaside town where I live!

How Galdizan runs games

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.

My games focus on...

My games heavily focus on tactical combats and narrative story beats with heavy consequences. We laugh, have fun, slap baddies, and shed tears over fallen friends. Sometimes all in one session!

When it comes to voices

I make sure each character has a voice! I never promise consistency on these voices. They'll change and be dynamic, but my players love them!

Galdizan's ideal table

My ideal table is a mix of solid roleplay and combat. Where the players make characters heavily connected to the story and tactically oriented players can shine in combat. Having a mix of different personalities and skill levels at a table really keeps it alive and the party laughing! Creative idea's, wacky goals and ambitions, and the ability to learn and improve are key here!
