About me

πŸ‘‹ Hey there, I'm Simo ⏳ I have plenty of experience with RPGs as a DM as well as a player which is very important to contextualize my gm-style 🀝 I try to run sessions for my players the same way I'd like others to run one for me... πŸ‘€...having the necessary insight into the player's side of things helps with that immensely πŸ“œ Now, if you'd like to dive into the mysterious, fantastical, silly and/or heroic stories that lay ahead in collaboration with me and your fellow players, you won't regret signing up for one of my games ;) πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» I hope we'll meet each other at the virtual table soon and get to experience something truly unique and exciting together! πŸ€πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ So long, yours truly, Simo the Possum Wizard

GM Style

πŸ±β€πŸ‰ I do generally tend to enjoy fun, light-hearted, improvisation-heavy games, but I'm also a connoisseur of the heavier themes out there πŸ’‘ One of my favourite aspects of playing RPGs is when I see the proverbial lightbulb above a player's head light up the moment another one of their creative ideas pops into existence and letting them act on it! πŸ”„ I like to have a clear cause-and-effect playstyle, where your actions actually matter and affect the story directly as well as in a meaningful manner. Of course, sometimes there will be facets of the story you'll interact with that aren't disclosed to you in full or at all, but this is to further the story and not to pull a fast one ;) πŸ’¬ Clear and open communication is the most important aspect to me since at its core every RPG is a game built on social interaction! πŸ’— I believe it to be vital for any RPG to bring the necessary respect to the table. This means trusting each other to be fair and talk about anything that doesn't sit right with you in a civil manner - be it a certain behaviour present at the table, boundaries that were overstepped, a call of mine that you didn't agree with and any such issues πŸ‘‚ As for more niche/precise wishes from you, I'll always have an open ear and will discuss such requests with the whole group, if appropriate. I'm open to most things and am pretty much only limited by social aspects within the respective group and my workload limit at the current time

Really flexible and creative, coming up with situations and reactions on the fly, taking care to reward player creativity. Kind and helpful too!

Terrific first TTRPG experience! I almost feels stupid for how nervous I was due to having no experience previous to this game. I was guided through all the new aspects, such as character creation and the like in a way that I could understand what my choices ment and never felt stupid for asking a question. Simo allowed me to interact with all the story elements in a realistic manner but also allowed for truly silly and epic moments (aka. Rule of Cool) Can whole-heartedly reccomend Simo as a GM for any players, especially new ones like me!
