About me

Hi, I'm Sov. I have been a professional GM for many years, games and parties. I have most of my experience in DnD 5E and Homebrew systems. I am also a system designer, adventure writer, TTRPG podcaster, and record active play games on youtube.

GM Style

I tend to lean towards more serious and otherwise dark narratives, but I also enjoy heroism and goofy campaigns. I like to use role-playing to invest players in their characters. I like to have players think about their actions and consequences, even if they don't affect a player's statistics or their direct adventure path. I love filling my worlds with complex NPCs, who become more intriguing the more time you spend with them. Playing things by ear, adapting, reacting, and curtailing stories to players on the fly makes me feel like a player at the table. I try to foresee possible character actions and determine potential reactions so that my players feel the world around them is alive. I like to do voices and accents. I tend to lean hard into role-playing, whether as a player or a GM. I am also always open to custom campaign requests and homebrew world settings. Feel free to reach out.
