About me

There was a time I thought I might be cursed to be a forever DM, turns out I just love it! Heyoo, I'm Michael a long-time lover Dungeons and Dragons turned traitor by Pathfinder's alluring wiles (❁´◑`❁). Ever since I've been running campaigns all epics in their own right. 🌘 Join me if you like: πŸŒ’ 🌌 The Rule of Cool 🌌 High Fantasy Nonsense 🌌 Committed Voice Acting 🌌 Lots of Roleplay 🌌 Digestible Lore 🌌 Loveable Characters PS: I'm addicted to stupid post scripts

GM Style

🎭 I was once a drama nerd, I love roleplay, immersion, and voice acting and couldn't play this game without them. However It doesn't mean you have to, do what's comfortable. πŸ‘“ I am a massive geek, and while the ⚑RULE o' COOL⚑ is important without every other rule we can't make a Fun and Fair experience. Nothing says we can't write some of our own rules though ;) 🎨 Wanna let your eyes rest? TOO BAD! I got visuals so engaging you'll be begging for me to stop. Wait... πŸ€“ Above it all I love how players take my plot lines and their own to weave a tapestry which, only when finished, can be appreciated for its worth.

I’ve played around 40 sessions with Janki as GM, and he consistently brings his A-game. His NPCs are vivid and memorable, his plot twists are engaging, and combat is always thrilling. Most importantly, Janki is genuinely enthusiastic about collaborating with players to craft an immersive, character-driven story.

His ability to seamlessly weave tense, thrilling combat with rich roleplay creates an unforgettable experience where every session feels fresh and exciting. Janki is always available and willing to help players, offering guidance on rules or character decisions and ensuring everyone feels confident and supported. He expertly manages any player conflicts with fairness and ease, fostering a collaborative and positive atmosphere. I have had countless GMs in my years of playing TTRPGs, and I can confidently say Jank is my favorite and the best GM I’ve ever had. If you're looking for a DM who offers depth, fun, and endless adventure, Janki is the perfect choice!

I've played in a handful of sessions with Janki so far, all of which have been great. I was new to PF and he has helped at any point I've needed with the character, kept sessions running smoothly and kept things well balanced across the gaming pillars. Looking forward to many more sessions.

Jank is a terrific storyteller that puts you and your character first. You can get easily immersed during the session as the world (environment, cities, NPCs, etc) responds meaningfully to your character’s actions in believable and satisfying ways. Combat is tense, well-paced, and doesn’t break the flow of RP or immersion. It serves as a pleasing continuation of the story rather than an interruption. I would highly recommend him for beginners and experienced players alike =]

Jank is a really cool, relaxing yet fun DM. I love the realism of situations, it's prompted me to act in character and out of gameplay in many situations (for better or worse) and I think that's lead to really good party cohesion despite different character ambitions. It never feels like players are at different points we just rp through whatever decisions are made. If you're looking to collaborate with others on an adventure path and make it your own version of the DND universe this is a great place to do it.
