About me
Hi, I'm Metal. I'm 31, and I have been GMing online since late 2017. However, my love for TTRPGs started in high school in 2005, playing 3.5e D&D and BESM. Then I played Pathfinder in college. As a result, I have gained a lot of experience GMing multiple systems and running various games. I respect honesty, respectful behaviour, and teamwork.
GM Style
I'm pretty loose on the rules. I try to follow RAW as much as possible but often skirt past the rules for what makes sense in any given situation. I also have some homebrew rules for specific game systems. I run roleplay and combat equally for the most part, but I often have more fun in roleplay. I always try to bring an immersive experience with detailed maps, background music, and unique character voices. I always try to incorporate character backstories into the world and campaign. I don't respect the idea of ideal party composition. I want you to play what character you want to play; you don't NEED to have a healer in the party. I'll make healing items more readily available if no one can heal. So play what YOU want to play. Also, if what you want to play doesn't fall under any of the system's race/class options, I'll be glad to work with you and homebrew something that suits YOUR character.

Kaleb Oxford
A funny, charismatic GM who creates a fun environment virtually. Paints a great picture for those playing with him and is friendly to newer players as well.
Sami
Great commitment to the campaign, the first one I ever managed to finish was Metal's campaign. Sticks to the theme of the campaign (if it's horror it's going to be horror etc...), but a joke here and there out of character is always welcome. He also allows for creativity and fun rules of cool. Overall, a well-balanced dm that lets you have the fun and epic chills you would get from a high-quality dnd game.
Disarmonious
The GM was great at letting us build our character concepts with a detailed backstory. We had a great immersive time playing with plenty of chances to RP. The world map and visuals were a great tool to get us into play.
