About me

I have run and played in RPGs for many years, and tried out dozens of systems and genres by this point. I have designed various homebrew additions for games like Genesys and GURPS, and enjoy trying out new things in the world of RPGs. One of my favorite systems is the classic World of Darkness, or 20th Anniversary Edition, and my favorite game overall is Mage the Ascension, with a close runner-up being FFG Star Wars. When it comes to GMing I like to encourage players to invest their characters in the world, by associating with or leading organizations and playing in the politics of the setting. I am a big fan and early adopter of FoundryVTT and I have a Forge account for easy access to play. Lately I have been enjoying Pathfinder 2e, and am currently writing my own adventure module for it, which I plan to release later this year. I like anime and often use anime-style character art for NPCs in my games. I like to tell stories which have moral nuance and interesting, relatable conflicts, but I keep the table atmosphere light-hearted and casual.

GM Style

As a GM I like to include interesting conflicts with moral and practical nuance, often stemming from political and economic dilemmas. I do also enjoy tactical combat, especially if it involves the party making tough decisions about how to spend resources or use their relationships. Generally I do use a unique voice for all important NPCs (as unique as I can manage) and prefer to RP out conversations when they have the potential to impact the narrative. Some of my favorite games are the World of Darkness games, both old and new, and I take some inspiration for how I GM from them. That is to say, I try to create a worldspace that is already full of NPCs who have their own motivations and relationships that the PCs enter into.

Our game master is a true master of their craft! They have a unique talent for setting the atmosphere and bringing the game world to life through their use of voices and storytelling. Their skill with voices is truly impressive, as they are able to create distinct and memorable characters with ease, each with their own distinct personality and quirks. This makes interacting with NPCs and other characters in the game world a fun and engaging experience, as you never know what kind of voice or personality you'll encounter next. But it's not just their voices that make them such great GM - their ability to create immersive and engaging settings is also unparalleled. Whether it's a dark and foreboding dungeon, a bustling city full of life and energy, or a serene and peaceful countryside, our GM has a talent for bringing these environments to life in a way that makes you feel like you're really there. Most importantly, our GM is always focused on making sure that everyone has a fun time. They have a great sense of humor and are always looking for ways to inject a bit of levity and fun into the game, while still maintaining the tension and excitement that makes Pathfinder 2e such a great game. All in all, we are truly lucky to have such a talented and dedicated GM leading our Pathfinder 2e campaign, and we can't wait to see what kind of adventures and experiences they have in store for us next!
