About me
Ever since I was introduced to D&D 5e almost 8 years ago and again with Pathfinder 2e in the beginning of it's Remaster period, I've fallen in love. Stories, character concepts, adventures and the infinite possibilities of worlds. That's when I decided to step behind the screen and become a Game Master. The feeling of crafting these stories collaboratively, allowing people to feel comfortable enough to set themselves creatively free. That brings me so much joy. I invite you to join me in telling fantastic stories together, going on daring adventures and making friends and foes along the way.
GM Style
The games I usually run: Social: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Combat: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exploration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Humor: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Puzzles: ⭐⭐⭐ I like to put the spotlight on the player characters, letting them shine in the way they do, rewarding out-of-the-box thinking and truly setting your creativity free. We're all here for a great story and some fun. I love creating worlds that live and breathe, that create consequences and rewards. As well as creating NPCs that players love... or love to hate. More than anything I want to create stories that people will enjoy and remember. My job is create a world in which your characters live through epic stories and go on amazing journeys, and I want to do that job well. I'll bring voices and personalities to every creature that you may encounter, perfect compliments to the heroes that happen upon them.

I don't have a ton of experience with paid GMs, but Mancer is the best I have encountered; he is very personable and clearly passionate about TTRPGs. Unlike some GMs that are only "present" during the 3-4 hour session (and then disappear into the ether until the next game), Mancer is engaged with his players and willing to assist/communicate outside of scheduled sessions. He fosters an environment where everyone can feel comfortable, and is also patient with those of us who are relatively new to the tools in Foundry. In short, my experience has only been positive so far, and I look forward to many future sessions!
I've been playing with Mancer for several months now and he's running a great campaign. He's a wonderful storyteller and makes makes everything feel fresh even though we're playing through an existing AP. He also does a fantastic job of allowing each player to contribute as much or little character backstory as they're comfortable with and helping balance them. His solid grasp of the rules enables us to play with a focus on the action without worrying about missing something. Mancers dedication to a welcoming environment has has helped foster a very fun group of players in our campaign. He ensures everyone feels included and our sessions are full of laughter and memorable moments. I highly recommend joining any campaign he runs, you won't want to miss it!
Mancer is, by far, my favorite GM. Despite all his British-isms (😜), he delivers on all fronts. He is easy-going, knowledgeable, helpful, and a great storyteller. We have been using Foundry VTT and he has great maps and immersive features like music and animated weather. If you're looking for a great game master, look no further!
Mancer was my first Game Master. I took a blind chance picking him through this website. I could not have been luckier. I was always curious about tabletop roleplaying games. Thanks to his professionalism and genuine care for my experience, I have a new hobby that I now love. I was someone who was curious, nervous and watched from afar. Now I am someone who finishes each session eager for more. Thank you Mancer!
Mancer's storytelling, characters, and world building really blow away even the highest expectations one could have going into a TTRPG campaign. Even more importantly, his games are just fun. He goes out of his way to cater things to the group of players at the table, so I'm confident he would run a great campaign for any group.
