About Sebastian
I have been GMing for about 10 years, but only for my friends and family. I have played on and off for the last 15years. The majority of my experience is with Pathfinder (original edition), but I have been running a hybrid 5e/Pathfinder home game on and off for the last three years. I'm looking for some relaxed players who enjoy a wild time. I am the kind of DM who, if you can explain it to me, we will figure out how to roll for it. I'm still learning and exploring my GM style, and would love to have beginners to experienced players join a game with me.

Featured Prompts
I got started GMing...
because I wanted to finish the campaign I first started, and have now started but never finished, six times.
My favorite books are
Faith of the Fallen, though any Sword of Truth Series book. Complete Work of Shakespeare
When I'm not running games I'm...
camping, gaming, paddleboarding, and hanging out with my family and our many animals. I am also going to school, and watching the world burn.
How Sebastian runs games
I like GMing to my players' playing style. If you prefer a more role-playing experience with less combat, let's work it out. If you wish for a heavy combat style, where you are just minimized in your talking with NPCs, let's go dungeon diving. My main goal, though, is for EVERYONE to be involved. I have even rolled Initiative, so "turns" are taken for Roleplaying, that way not one person is over-taking. Communication is key. If you want to see or do something, let's talk it out and have fun.
Featured Prompts
I deal with rules issues by...
bringing it to a majority rule. How does this rule best support the gameplay, and does everyone agree with its interpretation? If a majority of the table can't agree, then my original ruling stands.
My games focus on...
my players. I want them to have enjoyable experiences and memorable moments, from shopping at the local market to battling goblins. Any session is a session for that standout moment in every player's campaign.
When it comes to voices
I love playing around with dialects and NPCs. I still struggle with multiple NPCs talking to each other, but I love doing one on one communications with PCs
Sebastian's ideal table
Orderly Chaotic!! I love having fun. I usually set up a campaign as a main questline, but I also love playing open-world side quests.
Featured Prompts
I love it when a player
gets into their character. Makes choices, and actions based of what their PC would do, not what "should be done to win the game"
I think metagaming...
is the complete opposite of what RPGs were created for, and I really don't allow it at my table.
My table is not the place for...
your audacity! We are all here for different reasons, with different gaming experiences and different backgrounds. Nothing makes you better
