About me
I have been a game master for around a decade or so, the system I am most familiar with is DnD 5e, though I'm endeavoring to learn others. I decided to start running games because a group of friends and I were having so much fun playing in a game every other week when our GM had to move out of state. We needed someone to take the reins, so I stepped up, despite being the newest member of the group. Ever since then, I've been both playing and running games, learning new things all the time. I do apologize for the RBF that I seem to have stuck on my face outside of RP and conversation. Games that I run tend to follow an overarching story, but I do attempt to weave in nuggets from character backstories and player goals. I tend to run in homebrew worlds, where I learn just as much about the world as the players do. Of the pillars of RPG's, I'm strongest with role-play, but weakest with combat. When playing with me at the helm, you can live out whatever kind of fantasy you'd like, as long as it fits in with the table environment. As a GM, I understand that the environment around my table is my responsibility to nurture and protect to be a healthy and fun space for everyone. I also enjoy helping people make characters and backstories, as well as teaching newcomers to the system how it works and things they can do. One of my hobbies is making broken magical items and dangerous cursed items for the world, all of which you can find somewhere throughout the realms and planes. If you want an item made, I have no shortage of NPC's who can help out, and even ways for you to use tools and existing items to try and make it happen yourself. I also enjoy making various NPC's with their own quirks and gimmicks for players to interact with, and I have a few stories from groups I've played with and their interactions with said NPC's. So, if you're ready to tell a story together, let's dive on in and see what we can make.
GM Style
As a GM, I try to play story-heavy campaigns and random one-shots that came to mind. I try to reward character choices in-game and attempt to make roleplaying easier by utilizing my own character voices for NPC's. I enjoy running beginner-friendly things so more people can get into the hobby, but I love adjusting to whatever group comes to my table. Above table, I have a set of rules that I put in place in order to help me keep an intended atmosphere of respect, fun, and safety around my table. Homebrew is something I love with all my heart, and I love playing with it.
