About me

Howdy! My name is Ralph and I've been playing/game mastering for over 35 years in TTRPGs (Pathfinder 1e/2e, DnD 2e/3.5/4e/5e, etc) What I run: Pathfinder 2nd edition What I bring to the game: ~ Fantasy Grounds Ultimate Edition (players download the free client) ~ Discord ~ Pathfinder 2e books (Core, APG, SoM, GnG, DA, BotD) What I expect from players: Be kind and respectful. Even if we come from different backgrounds or prefer different flavors of ice cream, gaming should be a platform for us to come together and share a common interest. Even though you are playing a character in a game, hateful/disrespectful actions towards your fellow players will not be tolerated. In addition, some fantasy content may have themes similar to action, horror, or drama movies. We will stay within the bounds of the published content. Please feel free to raise any content concerns with me. Be committed: As adults, things in life happen. Over the course of a campaign, there will be times we skip a week, or find a time to reschedule (holidays, work, etc). If you sign up for a game, be there for your fellow players. Uncommunicated or frequent missing of slots will be given one freebie, then we find another player.

GM Style

I enjoy giving players a game that is challenging and fun. I love players that like to problem solve and think outside the box. My games are usually a mix of combat(~70%) and roleplaying(~30%). I have been known to add some voice acting and inflections to different NPCs to help bring them to life. The NPCs are there to help the player's narratives as well as drive the story. Game mechanics will stick as closely as possible to the rules as written; although if you want to toss the halfling barbarian into the middle of the sleeping enemy camp, we'll figure out what rolls to make on the fly. At the end of the day, I want you to have a game session that makes you excited about playing again.

He knows the rules extremely well, as well at the VTT functionality. His pacing is great, and he knows how to keep everyone involved.

Good knowledge of the rules while having the ability to adjudicate ad-hoc rules for special situations. Was more than happy to help me with setting up my character. Respectful to all players.

“Great GM that does a good job balancing between role-play and combat. Knows the rules and comes to the table prepared. I would recommend to anyone.”

As a new player to Pathfinder 2, he was patient while I was still learning the rules. He thinks on his feet and can adjust the game as needed if any surprises come out during play. He has an excellent sense of humor and can provide humorous moments that make all players laugh during gameplay. He created detailed stories with exciting characters and scenarios that kept players engaged throughout the whole session.

KosmicDM is an incredible DM! I have played in campaigns of his in person and online. He has a really good understanding of the rules and is patient with players as they learn. He knows how to create challenging encounters, but also adds some great RP flare to move the story along. He runs some of the most challenging games I have ever played in! He also has a great sense of humor which makes OOC game time even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend him for players with any level of experience. 5/5 stars!!!
