About me

I am Trevor, a 38 Years Old, Veteran, father of two Have 15 years of experience DM'ing Pathfinder (1E, and 2E). Have been DM'ing for 6 years via internet based programs. I strictly run prewritten Paizo adventures. I love RP over combat and pride myself in bringing NPCs and stories to life. That said, combat is essential and I try to find balance between the two.

GM Style

I generally like a party composition of players who feel strong about Camaraderie, Friendship and Helping out / working as a team to solve the problems presented in the books. While I dislike TPK's... they tend to happen from time to time. As such, I hope that players have some proficiency with the system. However, I am here to help you understand the games mechanics better. If you don't understand something or want to know how something works better, ask and I will lend a hand. I try not run adventures verbatim as they were written and thus might alter some tid-bits to make gameplay less tedious. **I strongly dislike the following:** 1. Anyone being disruptive when others are trying to do something or roleplay, especially if your goal is to simply derail. 2. People who don't contribute in any way to the events unfolding. This includes intentional mindless combat play or not following prior turns. I do what I can to keep the enemies exciting, but it's up to you to make your character come to life. (I run combats in a fast and efficient way so that at the very least, I do not take a very long time with the NPCs turns.) 3. Being toxic for whatever reason to the DM or to the rest of the party. (There is a difference between being helpful on someone else's turn and playing their turn for them.)

TAVelcro is a fun and engaging dungeon master, able to both challenge the players and make them laugh. You will find few who know the rules as well as he, or his willingness to admit when he is wrong about a rule. Would recommend for newer players due to his knowledgeability, as well for veterans as your Dungeon Master will feel like a long time friend

TAVelcro puts a lot of time and effort into his games, from adding voices for NPC's to planning ahead to ensure that there is never downtime unless the players want it.
