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 and adventure writer.

GM Style

I enjoy more serious and otherwise dark narratives, but I also enjoy heroism and goofy campaigns. I primarily run custom settings/campaigns. Writing is where my love and inspiration for TTRPGs live. I use role-playing to invest players in their characters and characters in the world. I love filling my worlds with complex NPCs, who become more intriguing the more time you spend with them. Adapting, reacting, and curtailing stories to players on the fly makes me feel like a player at the table, while making the world around the players feel alive. I am a strong believer that consequences have actions. I try to earnestly think of how the world would react, and don't handout results for free, nor do I put in obstacles if my players have executed a well thought out plan. 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.
