About me

I have been playind dnd for about 9 years as both a player and DM (or GM if you prefer). I have recently got into pathfinder, but I am going to hold of running any pathfinder. Until I have gotten a chance to play it for myself. I ask often what I can do as better as DM. As I do believe I can always improve. I have read many DnD books, and some warhammer books. So, if you have a question about something. I either know the awnser, or I can find it.

GM Style

I really injoy creative characters and players that like to work with the party. And I reward you staying true to your character and to the role you have stated. But just let me know who your character is first, please don't hide things from me.

The setting, voices and pacing were relaxing and extremely entertaining. The mystery and creature encounters were very suspenseful, the role-playing was entertaining too.

He was very patient with those still learning Roll20 (Me) and let us have the freedom to make choices. Even if there were consequences. The fights felt balanced without being too easy nor unreasonable. Made great use of the environment and line of sight so you really had to think about your next move. It was a great time and everyone was happy after the game. Would recommend.

The sound, mood, transitions and pacing were great while allowing use to still have creativity. The game was allowed to become a story.

The game had good pacing and made me forget it was a one-shot. Created tension for exploration and looting which is rare. Gives opportunity to utilize all parties. Definitely felt spent with all my abilities.
