About Phantom

I have been a GM since the release of Pathfinder 2e over 6 years ago. I primarily run published adventure paths through official Foundry modules to ensure that my players get the best virtual experience in terms of high-detail maps, soundtracks, and animations. However, I work hard to tailor each campaign to the individual group. Since everyone is different, I want to make sure that each player gets their ideal mix of roleplay and combat as well as the right challenge level in both social and tactical scenarios. Likewise, I work to integrate the player characters into each adventure, so their backstory and actions have a truly meaningful impact on the story and result in a unique experience for everyone. I love teaching and try to structure all of my campaigns to be as beginner friendly as possible. I find it particularly rewarding to see players learn and enjoy a new system, especially if it grows into their favorite system just like it did for me.

I became a GM because

I want to be able to guide players and help them tell their own stories. I love to put time in between sessions to prepare and craft the perfect sessions for my players, whether that's through adding animations to their spells, tailoring combats to their classes, or just practicing NPC dialogue.

How Phantom runs games

I aim for a balance of roleplay and combat that heavily depends on the adventure path and the group playing it. In both cases, I try to heavily emphasize player agency and present opportunities for at least one character to excel or shine. In social encounters, this means that each engagement with the setting or NPCs should offer an opportunity for the players to gather rewards or discover vital information. In combat, this means that players must rely on teamwork, tactical thinking, or innovative solutions in order to solve tough challenges.

My games focus on...

Presenting the players with engaging and interesting scenarios every step of the way. Whether it's social encounters or combat, players are given constant opportunities to earn rewards through creative problem solving, teamwork, or tactical decision making.

Phantom's ideal table

My ideal table has all of the players fully immersed in the game world and roleplaying not just their character's attacks and abilities but also their personalities, mannerisms, and flaws. I want everyone at my table to truly feel like they are in this world together and that their characters are as real as they are.
