About me
Greetings, potential player! I am but a humble Game Master, seeking to play the games that I love with as many folks as possible. I've said in the past that "if I could run infinite games, I would". I adore rpgs - both from a mechanical and narrative perspective. They are pretty much my main passion project at the moment, and I wish to share that passion with all of you!
GM Style
I can personally support and have experience in running all pillars of play, from social encounters with silly character voices, to combat encounters in varied terrain. In terms of tone, I will say that I personally generally prefer a good mix of levity and seriousness, chuckles and hardship. The exact “difficulty” is scalable based on player preferences, but my general preset is “I’m rooting for you, but I’m definitely going to try and present challenging scenarios”. I am a very open GM, in the sense that I’m always looking for feedback and player input - don’t ever be afraid to ask me anything. We can always talk about adjusting the modes of play, even deep into an ongoing campaign. My primary point of proficiency lies in my flexibility when it comes to attempting to tailor games to my individual players. Communication is a key component of this - I will always try to make myself available before and after sessions, as well as during the week in general, to try and keep in touch with players and make sure that we are always on the same page. I will also always strongly encourage group communication, starting from Session 0 and establishing expectations, to moment-to-moment interactions during play. I should also probably mention that I strive to have a table that's friendly and respectful to people of all backgrounds and experience levels. My secondary proficiency point would be... I like to homebrew. A lot. From custom mechanics to worlds and creatures that inhabit said worlds, I find great joy in putting my own personal spin to things. That being said, I always attempt my best to keep the core balance and mechanics of the systems that I run intact.

Creativity

Storytelling
Everything in general, it's just very much visible the DM's love for the game and it just overflows into the sessions. Very caring DM, very big emphasis in providing a fun time to everyone. Your character matters, your backstory matters and it's sprinkled very well on an equal matter for everyone in the campaign. The sessions are amazing with voices, descriptions and attention to detail. Oto is very open minded regarding character creation, flavouring. With the favorite quote being "flavour is free". He's just a very solid DM. Highly, highly recommended.
Anokir is the best GM I have played with from my experience on StartPlaying, He Is so accommodating with player ideas and Seriously knows the rules like the back of his Hand,the perfect mix of roleplay and combat. Its Indescribable how much effort he puts into prep and player feedback and is very often available for any questions or game details and such. I couldn't recommend him enough and I would jump at the chance to join any of his games with an open slot.
I spent two years running a D&D game for my friends, but after 3 months of this new campaign under Oto, there's so many little things I think - "Wow, I wish I'd done that in my game." From worldbuilding notes, to in game music, to one-on-one character creation discussion, to homebrew content, to rp-only channels, to an in game calendar to track your journey - the list goes on. Oto elevates the experience, not in massive changes that might not make it feel like classic D&D, but in minor ones that create a solid foundation for whatever style of party the players end up forming.
Oto's campaign was my first voyage into TTRPG and I couldn't have chosen better. Oto provides a lot of support to new players both during game time and outside. He's always accessible for questions. The campaign provides a little bit of everything. Perfect environment for you to develop your first character.
Anokir is one of the best DM’s a person can ask for super easy to communicate and is super fun with world building and is easy going and allowed you to be who you want to be within reason overall the campaign I played with anokir is dragon lance and we finished the game and this was the first game I was Abel to play from start to finish without a mishap and or other forces coming into play and I haft to say I’m excited to go on another adventure with this dm and the group I was playing with!
