About me

Hello I am mystic, I am 27 years old. My favorite part of running and playing ttrpg's is being able to craft a fun and enjoyable story for everyone at the table and go on adventures with friends. I like to run games with a mix of focus on Roleplay, Exploration, and Combat. I have 10 years worth of experience GMing dnd 5e, I have previous experience of 3 years GMing pathfinder 1e though I took a brake from it and picked it back up recently. I also have experience running with the Powered by the Apocalypse System, specifically Mask, and Monster Hearts 2; as well as running pokemon tabletop united. LGBTQ+ Friendly

GM Style

I like to create interesting stories with my players. I like to try and integrate and even talk with them about expanding not just there backstories but the world. I enjoy roleplay. I like to make encounters that are challenging to the players, but rewarding and fun. My biggest thing is I want to make sure everyone is having a fun and enjoyable time.

There are simply not enough words to describe the sheer depth that Mystic gives to their worlds and NPC's. But one thing I'd love to bring attention to, is the attention to character backstories and the effort that is usually put into weaving them into the world. This does extend beyond some NPC's knowing the character as well. The way the world has already been shaped to your character depends on what you've made. But if you haven't made anything, don't worry about it, your exploits in the story wont operate in a vacuum, depending on what you'll do, the world will change around what you've done in ways you might not have expected initially. And you need not worry of making someone you don't end up liking how they play, as they'll be more than willing to help you send off the character, or simply tweak it more to your liking. And that's just scratching the surface, their skill as a GM is really something to be admired, and experienced as a player.

As a player new to TTRPGs, Mystic was in my opinion an excellent GM, helping me through the ropes without any judgment and truly making me feel included in the group and world as a whole, also allowing me to play as exactly the character I envisioned. They were very attentive to details, making the world feel much richer and adding subtle depth to every character without feeling like it was forced. I had a lot of fun and look forward to playing in their games more in the future!

I had played two total sessions of D&D when a friend invited me to a campaign Mystic was running. I was still fairly new when it came to playing TTRPGs, so I was a bit nervous to play in a different group. But Mystic was and is still an amazing GM. They were patient and made sure that I could catch up with the other more veteran players. It helped that I already had background knowledge on a lot of the basics, but they made sure to fill in the gaps where need be. They're great at RP, so if you talk to an NPC, you can bet that it won't be a bland interaction. They also took my backstory (which was a bit on the simpler side) and absolutely ran with it. I had the soul of my girlfriend in a necklace and wanted to revive her. Mystic then made a whole session where the girlfriend came out to kill the other party members, a memorable boss fight ensued, and my character had a moment to properly process her grief and have a genuine moment of character growth. If you want memorable and wild sessions, I'd recommend Mystic a hundred percent.

Games that have Mystic sitting in the GM chair can vary in a number of aspects, from the tone to the difficulty and everything in between, but the one thing that you can expect no matter the story or the system, is that they will get you to care about the characters. I don't know if I've ever had another GM that was more willing to ingrain the backstory of each and every party member into the story of the campaign and have everything fit together so well. Regardless of the RP experience of the players at the table, when Mystic is the GM, rest assured there will be some of the most endearing and fun moments of banter you will see between PCs and NPCs alike in a TTRPG, and emotional moments that will have you genuinely tearing up.

Mystic is one of the best if not the best DM I’ve ever played with. Mystic knows how to make a very lived-in world, with the reactions to your actions and your backstory helping build the foundation of the world around you. Through my 3 characters' experiences, all of them have had slow development and big reveals that have really shaken them. Even watching as they dance the world around other people can be an experience unforgettable. I’d recommend mystic to people who want a realized world, and to those who wanna feel a part of that world.
