About Pixel
🔷 Hey, I'm Pixel! I became interested in TTRPGs in 2016 when a friend ran a Pathfinder Kingmaker game for our usual gaming group. We were no longer bound by the typical 4 social options of video game RPGs, or restricted in our actions based on what was coded in. We could do ANYTHING and I aim to share that freedom at my tables. 🔶 I found myself consumed by the TTRPG genre, running one-shots and small campaigns for my friends with a fast and loose understanding of the rules. It was then I discovered Critical Role and what I saw still inspires me today. A DM capable of creating an experience for and with their players with such a vast understanding of the rules and the universe that their stories take place in that they could break or alter them for their player's benefit and keep the experience's integrity intact, I have strived for that level of competency ever since.

I became a GM because
After trying DMing and discovering Critical Role, I gained a new appreciation for it. There's something almost magical about being a GM—not just creating worlds and running rules, but enabling players to have experiences they never expected. That's an incredibly rewarding feeling. Also TPKs...
I got started GMing...
Because someone had to do it! What kept me there was realizing that a GM can create experiences players never expected. That unique blend of creativity and collaboration inspired me to run games and keep improving my craft.
My favorite system of all Time is
D&D 5e (2014). Critical Role was my gateway into the hobby, and the vast ecosystem of homebrew and conversions has kept me invested. As a GM, I love how easy it is to tailor the game to the story I want to tell.
How Pixel runs games
🔷 IMMERSION! I strive to have players feel like THEY did something, not their character. Maps that scroll endlessly, underwater scenes coupled with the sounds of waves, and world maps with clouds passing overhead are just a few of the things you can regularly expect at my table to bring you into the experience and create those memorable moments. 🔶 I mainly do homebrew sandbox-styled games, meaning my games don't typically follow a book or a module and our story is not predefined. The NPCs, quests, and environments are based on player backstories ensuring that your character is not a part of the story, they ARE the story! 🔷 Whether we engage in crunchy combat on the third floor of a mega-dungeon, high-stakes political roleplay, delve into the lore of the setting, or set our sights on some far-reaching exploration is entirely up to the party. Don't feel like fighting the dragon and would rather run a tavern? Awesome! Let me know what you want to do and I'll make it happen!
