About Rex & Ethos
Hi, I'm Rex, and with me is my good friend, Ethos. She and I endeavor to create worlds with varied characters and incredible depth. Though our two styles are very different, we work together like wind and water to sculpt your role playing experience into something which we hope will be more memorable than any you have experienced prior. I, Rex, handle all male NPC's and voice work, and am the primary handler of setting up maps and missions. I manage combat scenarios primarily. Game mechanic rulings generally fall on my shoulders if I am present, and I will favor whatever keeps things quick paced, snappy, and realistic. With me is Ethos. She handles all female NPC's and voice work, and is the co-writer for all story elements in the game. Though she is not the primary combat scenario runner, she will take over should I have to step out. Ethos is the handler of the our & records, and should be approached if reference to something is needed. We are both are dedicated gamers and RPers and have been in the hobby for over two decades now. Having met playing Star Wars & Gundam scenarios, we have a vast breadth of experience across all genres.. Though Ethos favors the that which is steeped in dark magics. The gothic, and the grim. From Dark Eldar to Vampire Countesses. I in turn favors the less magical side of things, from Dinosaur riding Barbarians to star hopping Mecha Jockeys. We hope that our ability to provide diverse voice work and jointly DMed sessions will help things move at a faster, smoother pace and improve player immersion, and we take a lot of pride in our welcoming atmosphere and the positive experiences that we've been able to provide to our players. We also hope that you'll join one of our tables and participate in the worlds we've spun for others to enjoy, and that you will walk away with memories and stories to tell your fellow gamers for a life time.

How Rex & Ethos runs games
As a DM we work in a flexible manner to provide experiences for our players which we believe to be what they are seeking at the time. Before and between games we work closely with our players, offering options both officially published and homebrewed to try and help them achieve the character concept they have in mind and figure out where they will take the story. In session we work to keep people comfortable and the game moving quickly enough so as to not get stagnated in constant mook-slogs, shopping trips or rules discussions or other mundane upkeep activities that could be handled off-session. The world is alive and moves even as players discuss and plot, and the spotlight shifts as events transpire both on and off the stage. We enjoy using animated gifs for bosses, carefully selected music to improve the ambiance, and weather effects to brighten or darken the mood of the scene, increasing the immersion as much as possible for my players.

I once ran a session...
focused on horror elements wherein one player told me they were unable to go to sleep that night after they heard a noise in the dark. Sometimes all you need is the right immersive elements to draw out the desired emotions from your players... Also it helps when their dog knocks something over.
When it comes to voices
Our use of two different DM's allows for a wider variety of voices, while also giving the other time to manage tokens and behind the scenes elements to keep the game moving and make sure it's ready for when the talking ends.
