About me

I cut my teeth on roleplaying with West End's Star Wars system at a young age. I quickly learned that RPGs were an awesome way to connect with people who have similar interests, and these games also scratch an artistic itch. When I'm not involved in something kind of geeky, I'm involved in something incredibly geeky--probably involving superheroes. I enjoy all things comics, Transformers, Science Fiction, and fantasy (especially when dice are involved). Despite each of these child-like addictions, my wife, Cindy, continues to love me in a super adult-like fashion. Also, I've published over 30 books, which you can see here: https://www.amazon.com/author/sevanparis

GM Style

I enjoy a quickly paced narrative, with lots of character, melodrama, and action. The game should serve the players and the narrative and--most importantly--be fun. I use voices and encourage other players to if they're comfortable with it. I like to use maps, to help players visualize their part in a scene, but I'm not heavy on tactics.

Sevan is a fantastic DM. A very gifted and descriptive storyteller, goes the extra mile to keep players engaged and included, and gives players so many chances to shine as storytellers in their own right. Can't recommend highly enough.

Sevan is the only PBP GM I've stuck with on StartPlaying. His games are immersive and allow for a ton of room to tell your own stories. He is a great storyteller and guide on your way through whatever adventure you choose. And he's very open to feedback or ideas in the process! Highly recommend.

It's been a wonderful experience playing in Sevan's games. He's very encouraging and open to ideas for pc backstory. He's creative, adaptive, keeps a good pace going with the story and is attentive to all his players. I highly recommend!

Sevan is a terrific GM! He crafts a cohesive and thrilling story all while masterfully allowing players to inject their own personalities into the game. Every single week is a delight and despite my nerves for joining and having never played by post before, Sevan always made playing feel seamless and natural. I cannot recommend Sevan as a GM enough!

Sevan is a fantastic DM. His sessions are filled with a great mix of adventure and humor, and he always collaborates well with the players. He's also extremely consistent about checking in and keeping the story moving, so I always feel like I’ve gotten my moneys worth by end of week. Super fun table to join!

Sevan is a great GM. He makes sure everyone's characters are involved and gives players input on how the game progresses. It means that even though we are playing by post and none of us know each other IRL, it feels like the group is a cohesive bunch of friends collaborating together.
