About me
Ever since I picked up that DMG 13 years ago, running and playing TTRPGs have been my primary passion! I love nothing more than developing and exploring the worlds and stories I build with my players, and can be found long into the nights, hunched over my PC like a TTRPG gremlin, working out how the world shifts and changes to the actions of the players. I love personalisation and homebrew, and you can bet I love working with my players and creating an environment where they each have their individual stories and character arcs, as well as one where the entire party is involved. I work to ensure that no one gets left behind, and everyone gets a chance to shine, both individually and together!
GM Style
As a GM, my priorities are always roleplay and character agency! I'm a worldbuilder at heart, and I love building "lived in" worlds that reacts to the choices and actions that the player characters take, and shift and change accordingly. I'm not a particularly a stickler for rules and I love homebrew, so I will often prioritize player expression before cold hard rules, but not at the detriment of player fun! Player enjoyment has and always will be my number one priority!

Kassai is a very unique DM in that he likes to focus on the player's back stories and development as much as the development of the world and the story. He works with as much as the player puts into their own character. A lot of DMs may claim they operate like this, but few do, and even less as well as Kassai does. He also takes painstaking efforts to be descriptive and create flare and texture to the overall experience and narrative. He is thoughtful and runs his games keeping the players in mind above the world and NPCs, ensuring you feel your characters are making a real change or difference in the world. Also, It might be worth mentioning that while he does not relish a PCs death, he is not afraid to let the consequences of actions take place. Finally, because I cannot reccomend Kassai enough, let me just sum everything up by saying he is probably the best DM I have ever played with out of maybe 20 DMs/Experiences.

Count yourself lucky to play in one of Kassai's games. He's a great DM and really knows how to get his players invested in his world! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who enjoys roleplaying and immersing themselves in well-thought-out worlds.

Kassai is genuinely the greatest DM I have had the pleasure of playing with. He has been infinitely patient, and is willing to allow players to make their characters fit the players vision. Kassai is open to a great wide array of ideas. But beyond this I have never been as invested in a game outside of Kassai. The N5E game I play with him is some of the most fun I have had in general, not just in TTRPG's. His narrative is extremely interesting and leaves me on the edge of my seat every session.

Never had a bad session. Had a whole campaign of laughs and tears with my man. Great at building out a believable world.
Valerie
Really, really loved my games with Kassai. Helped me with my first character and game, and worked my silly ideas into something that works.
Aiden
Played long-term with Kassai before, wonderful GM. I greatly enjoy the work he puts into the game making my character feel like a part of the world. Works well at bending the rules to allow players a lot of creativity.
