About Sylvester The Mothman ( PatchyPines )

Hey there! I'm a professional artist and illustrator, you can see my work at https://www.patchypines.com if you're interested in seeing my work. I'm a really down to earth and laidback individual who loves running and playing TTRPG's. I'll be running only fully custom original stories and settings either in D&D 5e, Risus, Kids on Bikes/Kids on Brooms, and Ghostbusters RPG settings with my own Homebrew twist on the systems. All of my games are LGBTQIA+ friendly, and beginner friendly. I include disability representation, as well as plenty of representation across the gender spectrum and the neurodivergent spectrum. Let's sit together and get a character sheet fleshed out! I can't wait to see what stories we'll make together.

I became a GM because

I want TTRPG's to be something that anyone of all ages and disabilities will be able to enjoy who are new and old to the scene. I found not many tables are accommodating, or LGBTQIA+ supportive and I'd like to change that so I hyper-focus on making systems more disabled friendly and accommodating.

I got started GMing...

I've been playing in and running campaigns since 2006 and to this day I still am. My starting games were extremely supportive and a fantastic learning experience so I want to ensure to pass on that legacy.

When I'm not running games I'm...

Aside from being a local cryptid.. I usually am drawing out new and wild ideas, sewing, sculpting, participating in historical reenactment, practicing sword fighting, or I'm stuffing my face into some obscure 1800's book. I'm delving into tattooing and I'm currently in school for electrology.

How Sylvester The Mothman ( PatchyPines ) runs games

When I GM, I tend to run heavy roleplay-based campaigns with the players in mind using the Rule of Cool and really enjoy mixes of fun slice-of-life aspects and am supportive of heavy homebrewing. Combat is optional in my campaigns where I like to give realistic situations for my players, I'm not a fan of railroading, and I always give my players multiple options and paths they can go down. I run stuff with a lot of improv as my DMing style where anything you do can and probably will happen, with enough willpower and your own creativity to guide you. I am very communication-driven, disabled-friendly, and new-player supportive who wants to ensure everyone has a voice at the table and gets an equal chance with character development. Do you want to ductape a goblin to some firecrackers for an event? Go get em' tiger.

Sylvester The Mothman ( PatchyPines )'s ideal table

I'm very communication driven and always ensure safety and accommodation is at the start. I keep an open door policy, no questions asked for folks to be able to drop in and out at any point because I understand life happens. I'm crisis trained, understand anxiety, and take triggers seriously- ensuring to avoid them for my players as best as I can and inform the party if there's a possibility of a scene being something that could be on the heavier side if it were to arise. Rule of cool and improvisation is my forte especially if it means being able to accommodate folks who are struggling with grasping the system being played. I hand-make sheets tailored for folks with reading comprehension conditions to have an easier time understanding as well. I always love to draw and illustrate out everything to help with those who struggle with theater of the mind. Every thing I draw is without the use of AI, and any images I use that I did not make I ensure are of public use such as old vintage photos, maps, and images. Players I found fit well are those who love to roleplay, as my games usually don't have much to any combat in them. I usually have a good horror theme mixed into my games so they're not fully for the feint of heart and are for those who enjoy a more mature setting.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table

heavy roleplay where your actions have consequences,

I love it when a player

Tells me what their triggers are ahead of time before a session, and is open and honest about if they need any accommodations ( like more bathroom breaks, more images, or for sheets to be changed to be more dyslexia friendly. ) So I can work the campaign around their needs properly and playtest it.

My table is not the place for...

Bigotry of any kind is not welcome at my table and I ensure folks understand this. Bigotry includes; transphobia, racism, homophobia, sexism, e.t.c. Blurring IC/OOC, metagaming, and godmodding are also not welcome either.
