About me

Hello fellow adventurer! I am Shakti and I have been playing and GMing TTRPG since I was a teenager, more than 20 years ago. I have DM'ed Pathfinder and Starfinder for quite a long period of my life, and recently am focused in GMing Pathfinder 2nd edition using Foundry VTT's great interactions that support such system. Due to my experience as a DM, some experience in improv theater both as an actor and musician and also an ongoing doctorship in fantastic literature, I can provide flexible game types suited to the desire and needs of the party members (embracing beginners as well as veteran players). Most players that I have DMed to always enjoyed my tables, each one of them for their own and different reasons, but mostly due to the fact that I get deeply inspired by all sorts of fantastic/science fiction cultural productions and plots. Feel free to send me a message for further communication.

GM Style

I tend to value a well balanced table and focus on the needs and wants of my players. Usually I assume it is reasonable to discuss what type of story we're all looking for and adjust our intentions in a collective manner. I am very open for conversation and adjusting the tone and mood in my tables.

He knows what he's doing, and if he doesn't know, he has the humility to say he doesn't know. And if he doesn't know, he knows where to look.

Playing with shakti has been an awesome experience! Combining very creative world-building ideas and amazing storytelling skills, the games run smoothly in a that sweet spot between fun and challenge. They're a good DM both for beginners and for experienced players looking for challenging games to test their min/maxed PCs. Can't wait for our PF2E Abomination Vaults campaign to start!

Shakti is a great and fun GM, understands a LOT about the system's rules and is suited for the job if you're a beginner or if you're an experienced player like me. He is capable of placing mind blowing puzzles alongside profound and immersive plots with the correct dosage of RP for each party. For groups of experienced players, he can place challenging combats that will require teamwork and a good strategy, if that's what your looking for. I have also played some games with beginners and he has always helped them in all the steps - from character building, background creation towards teaching all the system and Foundry VTT basics. I completely recommend playing with him!

I’ve played with this GM before and his skills are outstanding! He certainly knows about the rules and the setting and he studied Foundry like crazy, 5 stars, approved

Shakti is an incredible GM! The campaign we are playing with him is thrilling and brilliantly composed. Shakti has a wonderful sense and balance of plot, narrative, and interpretation that make the session an immersive, funny, and creative experience. Another thing that calls up attention to Shakti as a GM is his aesthetic choices: beautiful images, rich ambiences, and music are part of his style and turn the game experience stimulating.

Great GM. Doesn't matter if you never played a RPG before or have been playing for your entire life, he will always make you feel welcome, and more importantly, have fun. Especially recommended for those that appreciate meticulous world building.
