About me
Hello, I am David, the founder of Realms - Creative. My mission is to build universes that are forged and evolved by Players. The flagship "Realm" of Oneon has been constructed for 6+ years, containing a few worlds, many nations, dozens of cities and secrets, and hundreds of enemies and treasures, all within a colorful and complex mythology, with seemingly endless amounts of all original Lore. My plan is to set a series of stories off with a One Shot, set in a world being ravaged by a cosmic entity simply known as "the Beast", at the end of April of '23. After which, I will be running "Mini Shots", set in various eras and locales within the Realms of Oneon, mainly the world of Maljinet, and leading up to an epic conclusion of Cosmic Proportions at the end of '25!! It will start out at low levels, then with each new wave of Mini Shots you might have the chance to bring in an old character to continue their story at a higher level, with other reprized PCs, or... make a new one (who doesn't like making new characters). For the Final Mini Shot, it will center around Only the Most experienced of the reprized PCs, but All of the various other PCs will be invited to pop in for a Cameo for a scene or a session! It will be a glorious TTRPG event!!!
GM Style
My GMing style is that of an in-depth immersive storytelling experience in ever-changing worlds, where you are the main characters and I am the Game "Medium" (i.e. the environment in which the story takes place). I run a general balance of RP to combat, but I don't usually do random encounters unless the environment calls for it. The conflicts always have stakes, your actions always have consequences and reactions, and the enemies are almost always Homebrewed, so you'll never know what's coming. The RP I encourage is everything from random BSing, to full blown arguments (between Characters, not Players), to heartfelt moments of bonding. I love to sit back and listen to solid meaningful RP while on mute, munching on Popcorn. Types of Players I love to Accept: Heavy Role-Players, Thinkers, Actors/Voice-Actors, Open-Minded Newbies, Imaginative Problem-Solvers, Sheet-Studiers, and Anyone that has a Love for the Story we tell together.

Storytelling
It was my first game ever and I truly enjoyed it! This experience was so great that I truly hope more people get to get into D&D because I feel like they are missing out. The fact I was new and he made it so easy to play and fun as well even though I didn't know what I was doing at first he was very patient and taught me everything I needed to know.
I've been playing in his world almost since the beginning of there creation and its been amazing seeing the amount of progress and lore he's made so far. It's insane to see firsthand how much time and effort he puts into making maps and writing lore to make his games as inclusive, immersive and fun as they are. His world is so enticing and unique, and so different than any other D&D campaigns I've Ever played in. It really has been the most incredible D&D experience I've ever had.
David has been cultivating his world, Maljinet, for the past 6+ years, honing his creative talents to brilliantly encompass all the best aspects of fantasy and adventure. His passion for the crafts of world building and storytelling are apparent when you step into his expansive universe and get swept up into the lore. His attention to detail brings each town, character, and myth to life, all supported by his vast maps and entirely unique pantheon of Gods, and rich history for every region.
