About me

Hey, my online name is Scuanchy, and I am plain and simple, a nerd. I grew up on fantasy stories, full of sword&sorcery, dragons flying left and right. And in the the past ~5 years, I have discovered the amazing world(s) of D&D. I've been DMing almost for the entirety of that time, from one-shots, through short adventures, to year long campaigns. I love this game, and I want to keep playing it with more people.

GM Style

I do love a good combat, with specialized mechanics to make important NPCs stand out from the masses. Mystery investigations, a little political intrigue, all to spruce up our games.

Scuanchy helped me get into the hobby. I knew nothing of the whole game, I didn't even know the difference between an ability check and a saving throw. He sat down with me before our homebrew campaign, and we spent 3 hours from going over basic rules and gameplay to building a character and making the framework for an awesome backstory

Scuanchy ran a homebrew game for me and some friends. At first, we thought it was gonna be a monster of the week kind of thing, spending 1-2 sessions in one thing. At the third one, we figured out it was all interconnected, setting the scene for the actual BBEG. We played for a good 8 month after that. There was no railroading, he was ready at any time for us to just decide siding with the BBEG is better, tho we never did.

I played Curse of Strahd with him before, the campaign lasted 13 months. The game was awesome, the horror aspect of the game came through very well. We weren't the epic great heroes who vanquish evil, but rather we were some guys getting in way too deep into trouble trying to survive. Overall, great game, would recommend ;)

My character backstory was integrated into the main story, as well as the others, tying together all of us in one narrative. The combat was fun, hardly ever a slog, the enemies had interesting mechanics we could work around. Great DM, overall!
