About me
Let's do this in question-answer format. ๐: ๐โ๐ฆ ๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ, ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ? A: I'm a thirty-something man from the Baltics. I've been a huge RPG nerd for, dang, almost two decades now. Iโd like to run some games for cash. ๐: ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ ๐ ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐๐? Iโm decent. Iโm not a professional actor, improv guru or a celebrity GM, but I run a pretty good home game. ๐: ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฌ ๐ก๐๐ซ๐? A: I could really use the cash atm. Also, it would be nice to be able to justify spending this much time on tabletop RPGs by paying my bills with it. ๐: ๐๐ก๐๐ญ ๐๐ซ๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ง? A: I really enjoy running prewritten campaigns. It gives me a foundation to work off and lets the players know what to expect from a GM they havenโt played with before. So Iโll be running various published modules for Call of Cthulhu, OSR, Pathfinder 2e, etc. ๐: ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฌ? It's one of those things where I've been 'mega' online for so long, it just feels weird when people call me anything else, y'know?
GM Style
It's a little weird and awkward trying to convince someone that yes, you are good at something and not bad at it, but rest assured, I RPG real good and I donโt RPG bad. All things you think good RPG? I do. All thing bad RPG? Big no-no for me. Roleplay? Having 'fun'? Being cordial and professional? ๐ฌ๐๐ฆ. Dropping a player into a churning piranha tank because they made eye contact with me? I'd ๐ฃ๐๐ซ๐๐ง, big yikes! I run games without webcams. I just use Discord audio + VTT (Roll20 or Foundry, depending on the system). I usually save the music for climactic moments and silly gags - I am too busy GMing to also be the DJ and, just between you and me, when I'm a player I always mute the combat music anyway. I enjoy teaching games to players. I have a long-running group where we try out new systems every few weeks, so we all got pretty good at it. Doing funny voices and accents is fun. My games are Terrible Voices Safe Zone. Iโm fairly lenient about re-building your character or changing to a new one if the current character is not working for you. I try to aim for 5 players in a group. More is crowded, less becomes a problem when someone skips a week.
