About me

Hello, my name is Victor, i'm 31 and i'm a Law graduate from Eastern Europe - so you could call me an actual Rules Lawyer! *ahahhaa.... i'll find the door myself* Catdad and hopefully husband soon! I was born into the 3 pillars of awesome - Fantasy, Sci - Fi and Horror - and i've been passionate about TTRPGS, for the last 15 years. My introduction to TTRPGs was gradual. I think you could trace the root of it to Relic's Dawn of War game. Loved that, then i learned this "40k thing" is actually mainly a Tabletop property, then i realized nobody is within 1000 miles to play with, then i found out 40k has a Roleplaying game! This was just about when Roll20 was getting off the ground and.... here we are! Was exclusively a player, i've played - 40.000 Roleplay, Shadowrun, DnD 3.5, Shadowrun again, Pathfinder 1E, DnD 5E and when the stellar Pathfinder Second Edition came out i took the plunge and ran a Beginner Box session for my friends and before i could blink i was the designated GM. I now want to take the show on the road, as it were!

GM Style

Well mainly i just want everyone to walk away with a smile and for me that means being adaptable. I have a near encyclopedic knowledge of PF2E at this point so we should never get bogged down looking things up. I prefer running a warm, jovial style of game, were we all just riff off each other and don't take ourselves to seriously but if my players prefer to lean heavier on the Roleplay and Immersion i can ask my so whip up a beard and wizard hat, crank up the pipe organs and have ourselves a virtual LARP session!

Victor is everything you want from a GM. Each session is long at 4 hours but even with our 1st lvl characters each challenge was gripping and the time sped by, The presentation from some GM's sounds second-hand ....the GM who has read the rules a few times and is only a page ahead of their players in knowledge but Victor is a library ahead and not a stuffy one ....fresh and relevant and sensitive to the mood at the table all while being funny, This guy understands Drama. Entertaining and impressive.

Victor knows the rules well and creates a fun atmosphere for all of his players. There is plenty of combat challenge in his games, but also opportunity for role play and rapport building amongst the party. The players this GM attracts are really fun as well, just as much fun to hang out with outside of game as well as in-game.

Victor provides very immersive experiences. I played in a Pathfinder 2e game and his use of Foundry, the music and the NPCs was a great experience. He is also very knowledgeable about the game which was helpful for a new player like me.

Good vibes all round; Victor is very knowledgable, patient and friendly as a GM which is reassuring as someone still fairly new to the game. There's a great sense of pacing, and he seems well prepared for both adventure content and the unpredictability of player actions, overall have had a great time with him so far and would highly recommend to others looking to jump into an adventure with.

Victor has a great sense of drama, which carries through into both his effects on Foundry and his delivery. He does a great job of describing the scene with precise and evocative language, and adds lighting to suit. His soundscapes are very well-chosen. I'm in a horror campaign with him and the atmosphere is just the right level of unsettling without being abrasive. He's also got a wicked sense of humor, so even in the darkest setting, he can gleefully describe what the baddies are doing to your character. He's focused on fun first and foremost, so expect to be intrigued, moved, and delighted!

Victor knows the game, plays a soundboard of music and effects, runs a variety of modules that increase the playability of games, and makes each roleplay scene just as fun as each combat encounter. Victor definitely spends time prepping for each game, finding new tools for play, and helping find or create art for players.
