About me
Hello fellow spell slingers and warriors! Are you looking to delve into the deepest, darkest crypts full of surprises, horrors and most importantly treasure. Well, you have come to the perfect place. Game Master Kaelor here, the professional you've been looking for! I have a deep love and understanding of tactical gameplay. I focus on keeping a good game pace whether in combat or out by incorporating plenty of tension, light narration, light roleplay and music. The spotlight is yours to take! So what are you waiting for! Whether you are new to TTRPGs or a veteran come pick up your sword, strap your boots on, and be ready to explore the treacherous depths of the most dangerous dungeons. I mean, It is where all the best loot is.
GM Style
The most important thing is having a GM setup and create a fun environment. I always host a session zero, free of charge, because it allows me to make such an environment. I enjoy the rules as a guideline and encourage players to think outside the box to solve problems, both inside and outside of combat. I am confident in my ability to make judgement calls on the gray areas of the rules and later to check how the rules suggest handling it. I am a firm believer of pacing is everything and looking things up goes completely against that. I love running tense and tactical combat, but I firmly believe that combat cannot stand on its own. I also make all of my rolls out in the open and warn players I am not pulling back any of my punches; things can get quite lethal at times, especially for those ill prepared. While combat is generally the focus in my games (I have a hard rule of at LEAST 1 combat per session), I believe it can get old without some roleplay and exploration. Some of my favorite moments come from players having 'unique' and well quite hilarious dialogue amongst each other, especially after a very tense encounter. It really helps to lighten the mood. I do my best to encourage roleplay and to encourage players to explore and get lost in all the beautiful set pieces and maps, but like I said I put a strong emphasis on pacing and keeping things moving along.

Been playing for 18 sessions now and definitely having a ton of fun. Kaelor is always on time and prepared, even balancing quickly depending on the player count. He always keeps the pace going and knows his rules well and when we aren't clear on one we never get bogged down, we just come to an agreement and move forward. He also makes sure to keep the module going to what we are interested in the most. Furthermore, he also provides content warning, which are specially relevant since Agents of Edgwatch can be very intense in their set pieces and enemy actions and motivations.

Kaelor cares a lot about feedback, and it's obvious that he takes it to heart and works to make his sessions better based on it. He's been consistently inclusive and helpful in every session and he's been mindful to warn us in advance if there's campaign content that some of us might be sensitive to. Combat flows well and he knows the rules to a degree that he can easily help new players find their footing. The work he puts in both in and out of session is excellent and I'd highly recommend anyone try out his games!

Very knowledgeable and generally excellent at keeping the game flowing. Even in long sessions I was able to stay engaged in both roleplay and combat. Combat is challenging but fair and roleplay has the opportunity to reward you for problem-solving and finding creative solutions to various problems.
