About Varex | Adrastos
Hey all! I'm Varex, a 26 year old from New Mexico. I've been playing TTRPGs for around four years now, although I've been writing and roleplaying with other people for a lot longer than that. I spent the better part of the last decade in the Star Wars: The Old Republic RP community, focusing on collaborative storytelling in and out of game (discord/thread RPs)! I only recently started GMing, but I'd been creating RP arcs and in-depth storylines as a player in a multiple long term campaigns and in RPGs, long before going behind the GM screen. I’ve honestly have fell in love with highs and lows in the TTRPG’s I've played in and can’t wait step on the other side of the table and roll some dice with y’all! Also I will not use any generative AI / LLM in my games! Additionally, I can work with some players if you’re experiencing economic hardship. Just let me know and we can work out a lower or free payment arrangement, here on SPG!

My favorite system of all Time is
Star Wars 5e. I believe it hits the sweet spot vibe between (mostly) easily understandable mechanics and in setting I've loved for years. It has enough depth to build just about any character concept, and giving them the ability to feel badass without being overpowered.
The three words my players would use to describe me are...
Chaotic, collaborative, and immersive.
When I'm not running games I'm...
I work in community organizing and play a lot of games. I'm a big fan of choice-driven games, and anything with good worldbuilding and combat. If I'm not doing that, I'm probably hanging out with friends, watching entirely too much YouTube, or crying in ranked Marvel Rivals
How Varex | Adrastos runs games
At my tables, I want impactful and memorable games. This means that my tables: Have strong safety/consent lines from the get-go, have dialed up the roleplay and world building, hilarious banters in/out of character and cinematic scenes/action sequences. I want us to feel like we’re all invested in creating a collaborative story, one where, I as the GM, create and present NPC’s and the world, to feel fleshed out and lived within. I have done combat heavy and combat light games and am willing to shape the combat intensities to the tables desires. Though, at any of my tables, combat will not be full of random encounters. Combats should feel tight, impactful, exciting and add weight and gravity to the universe. They will not feel like another mechanic I’ll throw at you. Whether we’re playing in Star Wars, Cyberpunk or another setting, I want to make it feel like we’re stepping into those worlds AND ALSO I’ll make it approachable for those who aren’t experts in lore beforehand. Expect from me: 💜 Safety and Consent as the top priority 💜 Roleplay-first adventures where your choices shape not only your story but the world around you and your fellow players. 💜 Fleshed out NPCs with their own personalities, motivations, and agendas. 💜 Cinematic combat that serves and adds onto the story instead of slowing it down. 💜 A collaborative and supportive table where everyone has a part to play, whether you’re a beginner or veteran to the game system!
Varex | Adrastos's ideal table
My ideal table is a group that wants to build a story together instead of just doing crunchy combat encounters. I love roleplay, political intrigue, mixed with good and intentional combat, and players who actually take initative form quests and storylines with the world rather than waiting for the next quest marker. Ask questions, make plans, get invested in NPCs, start rivalries, make allies, and occasionally make terrible decisions because they make for a better story. I don't care if you're brand new or you've been playing for twenty years. What matters to me is showing to each session wanting to collaborate and give the other people at the table a chance to shine too. The best campaigns I've been part of are the ones where the party feels like a real group with individual and group goals and motivations.

If you're into ___, you're going to love my table
letting the dice tell the story, when we work with whatever chaotic results come up and we make a compelling story together!
I love it when a player
isn't afraid to engage with other characters and helps everyone feel comfortable joining the scene.
I think min/maxing...
I completely fine - as long as there is the same level of energy is put into RP!
