I got started GMing...

The creative satisfaction of it was irresistable to me. I started writing stories way before i met with TTRPGs, learning ways to write my stories in an interactive way is mind blowing.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

DnD 5th, oWod and Mouseguard. All vastly different, equally and amazingly fun to play. Honorable mention to ADnD 2nd edition, foundation of d20 based crunchy combat, still going strong today. Timeless masterpiece.

When I'm not running games I'm...

I read or prepare materials for my next game.This is a passion for me

How Salih Aşık runs games

I create homebrew campaigns and heavily modify published ones to tailor according to players enjoyment. I am great at teaching new players how to play the game and i create baby steps in the game to teach the player the characters skills slowly but surely. I have an adaptable style after all that amount of experience. I analyze your style and create the encounters, combats and puzzles according to your interests, the way you play. There won't be any amazing voice acting but i try my best. You will love my NPCs( and hate some of them). I am ready to take you to the adventure you long for!

I prep by

I write down hooks and quests with the NPCS the party will encounter. I always have random encounter at hand and update if the party leveled up. I finish most of my preparation before session 1 and i dont touch it much afterwards i let the game to players' flow.

My games focus on...

Social interactions and explorations. I dont usually play combat-heavy

Rules are...

guidelines for us to follow for everyone to equally enjoy the game.

Salih Aşık's ideal table

My style is heavy on role-play, social interactions and light on fast, chaotic combat. I try to keep the vibe realistic but not harcore.

Featured Prompts

I love it when a player

create their character with flaws. Watching the character grow over the flaws they start with is refreshing. Much more meaningful than just leveling up. That is how you get unforgettable characters.

I think metagaming...

is not okay, but inevitable in some degree. Best to keep as minimum as possible.

My table is not the place for...

powerplayers. I don't like the GM vs. PCs sort of play trying to defeat the players by writing stronger and stronger monsters. I respect but not my type of gameplay.
