About me

Hi there! I've been a forever GM by my own choice for six years now, developing a penchant for unique, idiosyncratic campaigns that focus on personal, heartfelt, and often very silly stories that focus on my players and their characters. I am a roleplay-heavy GM that reserves combat for important and dramatic moments. I'm a huge nerd about history, culture, religion, politics, & socioeconomics, with a particular focus on non-Western histories and the marginalized & oppressed. I'm a big fan of films, games, novels, & TV shows like Avatar The Last Airbender, Dimension 20, The Expanse, Disco Elysium, Chainsaw Man, Discworld, Fire Emblem, & The Hunger Games. I am from Indonesia, neurodivergent, and queer. I have a multitude of experience running games for people from a wide variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, as well as with physical and mental disabilities and will do my best to ensure that anyone can have a seat at my table. In meatspace, I work as a tutor. If you ever wanna reach out, you can find me on Discord as "MehShotgun"; my user ID is 345564781438304266.

GM Style

I believe that TTRPGs shine brightest when they serve as platforms for a group of people to come together and create a personal and engaging story, with each person bringing their own perspective and experiences to the table. Roleplaying is the focus of my games, and I encourage my players to love their characters and help me build the world they live in. I enjoy and will run combat, but only for important reasons and often as dramatic set-pieces; no random encounters here. Communication, as with any relationship, is key to me. Safety tools are a must and clear boundaries, desires, and limits are established from the get-go. I love to focus on character creation and the people my players make. Similarly, my highest desire is for my players to sink their teeth into the world I create for them, and help me fill it with detail and imagination.
