About me

Howdy Folks! I'm Ruel Fox, and I've been a GM for 7 years. Playing mostly in 5e, I've recently begun to branch out into some other systems! What I bring to the table: All current 5e source books and supplements available on roll20 PF2e Core materials on roll20 Art Assets for Battle Maps/Travel Maps Etc.. A plethora of Modules, One-Shots, Settings, and Play Styles including 3rd party content such as the DM's Guild, and Green Ronin. Safety Tools (Pre-Game Checklist, Lines and Veils, X-Card) All Games run through Roll20 and Discord, All Games begin with session 0 and Safety tool discussion. Lets Tell some awesome stories together!

GM Style

I am very much a Rule of Cool GM. My personal play style is heavily influenced by Anime/Manga and Video games so if there is an opportunity for a very cool moment I wont let the rules get int the way. I tend to mold my style to the group I'm running for, however I would consider myself to be a 40% Combat, 40% Roleplay, 20% Exploration type of GM. I enjoy doing voices and encourage others to do so if they are interested, and would never try to push someone to if they are uncomfortable.

Ruel is a fantastic DM. He clearly cares about the world and story he builds and really gives players the ability to be creative and make their characters unique within it.

Fun doesn't even begin to do justice for the Root one shot played with Ruel. He took my silly group of animal friends, including my painfully honest pirate, and allowed us to craft the story the way we wanted. Music was provided and a map to help us immerse as well! Thanks for running this, Ruel! It definitely finished up with a bang <3

Ruel was great. Walked our group through making characters, as we were all clueless about the game mechanics and made learning the system very easy. At no point did it ever feel like he was running a game, it felt more like he was playing the game with us which made all the decisions feel better. He does a great job of using unique voices and dialects for the different characters making each interaction feel unique and more immersive.

Ruel was an awesome GM! He was fully willing to go along with all of my nonsensical off the wall ideas and ready to roleplay the outcomes whether they went well or not. He was very willing to help us when we didn't understand something about the game system and knowledgable/flexible enough that it never felt like we didn't have some way to resolve whatever we were trying to do.

Ruel is a real cool DM. I’m currently playing in 3(2.5) games (soon to be 4) and can honestly say I’m enjoying every single one of them. When I have issues or concerns, Ruel makes time to address them and we have always come up with most agreeable solutions. I recommend all my interested friends to him because he really is that great of a DM.

He turned such a basic stuff as Lost Mines of Phandelver to a funny and creative adventure full of out of the box thinking and roleplay. Should I say more? ;-)
