About Karhus
Greetings! I am James, though you can also call me Karhus. I have been DMing right after my first D&D experience as a player, once I figured out creating a world in which multiple stories can take place was to me, more rewarding than adventuring. I started playing 5E and stuck with it through the best part of 6ish years now. I prefer classical tropes, be it dragons and knights, liches and undead or Gods and their Chosens. Campaigns with a good ol' dungeon crawling and some gritty combat are my personal favourite, always with a bit of spice and fun RP. The aspect of DMing I love the most is enabling players to take any course of action they wish and see them shoulder the responsibilities that come with it. Cause and effect is the soul of TTRPGS! I've had plenty of experiences be it with veteran or new players, be it with a group of complete strangers or groups of close friends, so whichever one you are, hit me up and let's roll some dices!

I became a GM because
I got into the DnD world as a college student and instantly fell in love with it! I always wanted to create my very own world from scratch and this was the perfect way to do so!
How Karhus runs games
I have a soft spot for explosive combat. Escalating a fight is escalating the stakes and the higher the scales the more the accomplishment. I enjoy hard fought victories on grand scale battlefields and all that comes with it. While Roleplaying I do the best I can to ensure that players feel comfortable and are able to be as in character as they want, be it a loud barbarian or a timid but talented bard, and I always make sure every character in the story has a similarly unique air about them as well! World-building and number crunching are my two favourite aspects of DMing so I always put all my power into making sure the world, the setting, the people, the fights, all of it speaks for itself.
