About The Eldritch DM

Hey there, I'm V! I'm a professionally trained voice actor that loves running Pathfinder 2e games in a morally grey world. I love trying to get into the hearts and minds of my players to make them consider each action and the ripple effect it can have on what happens next, and mostly focus on Curse of Strahd due to familiarity with the module and a love of classic horror. I've run games for quite a few years now to great success, and have enjoyed every bit of it. And I follow the rule of horror needing comedy and respite or else it's no longer horror. Here's to a fun and spooky game!

I got started GMing...

by playing Curse of Strahd in 5e. And I've been refining the module with great enjoyment every since.

How The Eldritch DM runs games

Getting into the story and delving into the characterization of a party and how each member interacts with each other is one of my favorite parts of being a DM. I also enjoy making atmosphere that gets my players immersed in a scene enough to raise the stakes and get hearts pounding, and go so far as to use different NPC voices to make each NPC unique if possible. The characters, and players, are at the heart of a story and to that end I try my best to help them tell a great one. Ultimately though, I like to have my players feel as if this was a home game. So I crack some jokes whilst looking for journals, or if I think it won't break the tension of a serious scene. I'm here to give my players a fun time, and have some fun myself!

When it comes to voices

I love doing various ones for each NPC. I won't always get it 1 to 1, but I certainly do my best to remember each voice from the others.
