About me
Hello there, adventurers! I am Montis (pron.: MON-tiss) and I'm a passionate long time Game Master that has hosted games for friends for over a decade, sometimes up to three times per week. When I was a kid I didn't want to become an astronaut or a pilot ... No, I wanted to be an actor! And when I discovered roleplaying as a young adult which enables me to be one - even at a basic level - I was instantly sold on the hobby. Now it is many years later and many hundred sessions under my belt and I'm still falling in love with RPGs more and more every time I play. Inclusivity is very important to me, so I welcome any and all individuals to my games, regardless of gender identity, nationality, skin type, ability, etc. And while German is my native language, I am highly fluent in English and have lived in Ireland for over a decade.
GM Style
I love everything about roleplaying. In-character play, tactical combat, making voices and sounds, creating immersive and sometimes silly stories and everything in-between and around it. Yes, I like giving characters different voices and making the sound effects with my vocal instruments - I believe it gives a more personal feel to everything. Pathfinder 2E is my preferred game system as I think it creates a space for all of the things I love about roleplaying to work together in perfect harmony. In addition, it has defined rules for most things which enables me to spend more time and attention to crafting a better game instead of pondering over rulings. Attention to detail is quite important to me and I like to shape my game worlds so they suit me and my players. I also prefer if every player feels like an important role in the campaigns I run, therefore my games usually have a player limit of 5. This way I can give everyone the spotlight they deserve while not slowing things down too much for other players. I love it if players are creative and try to find cool solutions to seemingly impossible challenges which in turn engages my own creativity. I hope the above gives you an insight of what kind of GM I am. See you in the game!

Montis is great, takes the time to help you, while keeping the group engaged in the plot. If you have the time, and inkling, I highly recommend him.

Montis has a great understanding of the game and extends it in good and interesting ways. He is patient with new players and helps them getting into the system. I greatly enjoyed the game and the good mix of combat, social encounters and downtime activities.

The game was quite fun and the GM was a great Fun > Rules guy. The organisation of the maps and ambience as well as the technical aspect of the game is well run and implemented.

Montis is the type of DM that lives for this hobby, he is super enthusiastic about the adventure and the game, he is also a very welcoming person with great knowledge of the game, who is more than willing to help beginners or experienced players, and takes time aside to help you with your questions, character or other support you might need. He has a super good awareness of what's going on in game mechanical ,story or events, and is always prepared for the session, he is also willing to change things around to help out the players and turn up/down the difficulty to match the players if wanted, he also have great skills in giving life to the world through the NPC’s that he act well, and with the really good maps he provides. He also got loads of material outside of the game which he updates as the game progresses with all the relevant NPC’s, places and events. I would definitely recommend Montis to anyone for a good experience.

Montis is a great DM who lives and breathes the PF2e rules and is very happy to help a complete beginner to build and play their character. He’s extremely enthusiastic about the game he’s running, which shows through with all the support he provides to all the players outside of the game sessions as well as all the extra materials that he’s compiled outside of the game too, which helps with the overall experience. If you’re looking for a DM to help you start your Pathfinder 2e journey, then I can’t recommend Montis enough! That’s not just to say his skillset is just geared to the mechanics of the game, all his NPCs were great to interact with and I had a lot of fun during the few sessions that I played in his group!

Had an absolute blast playing with Montis! The session had a great balance between storytelling and the mechanics of the game, which made for a very immersive and enjoyable session. The pacing was really on point and everyone got ample opportunity to shine and contribute to the success of the party, which I as a new player very much appreciated!
