About me
I have been a dungeon master for over 5 years and while in the grand scheme of things this may not seem like a lot to other dungeon masters or players I can assure these 5 years have filled me with a plethora of knowledge. I seek to establish a canvas for you to paint on with your ideas and story as I am largely an improv-based dm I try my best to make sure that if you want to do something, we can figure out how to do it. My style of dming falls closer to those of Arcadum (that's a name), BrettUltimas, and others like them, seeking to make each monster and npc as interesting and unique as the last. I homebrew all my inventions and if I use other dms as inspiration I make sure to always credit them in the process as well. My end goal is to make a story that is worth being told and hearing more from people to enhance that experience for everyone involved even if only in minor ways.
GM Style
I am primarily an improv-based dm who seeks to make every single monster and npc as unique as possible and telling the story in a way that makes it all feel alive. This results in a unique experience that makes things feel alive and serves to make each character feel useful and have a place in the world that lives and breathes with them.

As this was my first time ever playing D&D, Sol made the entire process super easy to understand and worked with me to help bring my ideas to life within the system he created. He has an amazing way with words and creating immersion even with just the first session, so I would highly recommend him to anyone who has unique ideas or just wants an incredible game experience.
Sol is a one in a million DM with a solid grasp on the rules and more importantly when to break them. There is a real passion for storytelling to be found in his campaigns; Everything serves a purpose in making the world and characters come alive. He is attentive to everyone’s needs and wants, conscious of the different levels of play everyone is on and builds challenges accordingly. After fun and thrilling combat? Sol has you covered. A mystery to solve? That is within Sol’s range. A melodrama more akin to theater than any sort of TTRPG? Guilty as charged and yet accounted for in Sol’s worlds. He is fantastic about homebrew - Fantastic about almost every aspect of the game so far. I can’t wait to play more and anyone who hasn’t should definitely check him out.
I've played/Gm'd many homebrew games, Dnd, Pathfinder, and several other systems. and I have to say, Sol is by far the best Gm I've experienced, great voices, awesome maps, well versed in the rules but also allowing for rule of cool and working with his players to work in character development in the campaign with the story. great laughs and great times are to be had with Sol. I know ill be a player for a long time, hope to see you join the awesome worlds he has.
Went into the game with zero knowledge about both the setting and character design. Sol made sure that I not only helped me design a character I would want to play but also made sure to add some relevant information in the story regarding the background of my character. This made for a new and enjoyable experience for me.
