About me

Greetings all, I'm Herald. Around 7 years ago, a friend invited me to their D&D campaign and it opened up a new world for me... many worlds. Due to the oh-so-familiar circumstance, I became a forever DM shortly after and thoroughly enjoy it, trying out more and more systems since. I love heroic tales of common people standing up against great odds, chosen ones fulfilling their destinies (or defying it if the players feel like it), or even dastard rogues finding their own redemption. All stories have their own charm, and I'm happy to be the artist who paints the stage for yours.

GM Style

I have a preference for stories with a slow start that quickly ramp up once the turning point happens. A big event only means anything when the people affected by it can feel the impact. I strive for the excitement when the characters arrive at their moment of truth under the spotlight, the exhilaration when all their decisions prior show their long-lasting effect at the last moment before curtain call. Your choices matter and they will always do. By now, you should already be able to tell that I'm a dramatic person with a burning passion for immersive storytelling. On the other hand, I have a pretty firm grasp of the rules and mechanics. I have been continuously DMing for multiple campaigns and a few West March servers in the past 7 years. Perhaps I will make a mistake once in a while, but I definitely won't let that ruin a player's experience. I'm flexible if nothing else. Homebrew is my bread and improv is my jam. I don't have a fixed route for my players, what they do with the stuff given is on themselves (with a slight nudge only when they freeze up). More often than not, that leads to solutions that are beyond me and require a quick reaction from the GM. The longest I have been stunned was 5 minutes and I had to draw a complex impromptu combat map that time, otherwise there wouldn't have been even a hiccup. Alrighty, that's all there is about me as a GM. As a person, I find the idea of discrimination against a group of people to be absurd and highly condemn it. We play TTRPG to relax and forget about the tiresome real life, we are all nerdy friends in this nerdy hobby. As long as you want to have fun and your fun doesn't harm others, you are welcome at my table. Thanks for reading, good luck and have fun.
