About Xexus
Hi! I go by Xexus (zek-sus) but you can also call me Ryan. With financial stability at an all time low for people of my generation, the internet has given us access to so many tools, and I've decided it's about time I start using them! I've been using StartPlaying for over a year now, and fallen in love with it as a tool, the GMs I've found here have all been outstanding and I haven't had any problems with all the different players I've encountered. My personal experience as a Dungeon Master is limited, but I have experience with all types of different pre-written adventures and have been working on my own homebrew world for months now. My base of player experience is far more extensive, the timeline may be short, but with an addictive personality I've absorbed about as much as one could over my RPG career. This career is mostly D&D 5e, but I've explored different games as well, have a passing knowledge in a handful of different ones, and take different concepts from all of them to my table.

I became a GM because
Friends I had in the spheres were not enjoying taking up the seat at the head of the table. I have so many ideas that I want to implement, and characters I want to roleplay, it only made sense for me to step up.
People are always surprised when I tell them
I've only been involved with TTRPGs since COVID. I became hyper-fixated on the genre and very quickly grew my repertoire and knowledge, to the point of becoming somewhat of an encyclopedia. I like to think I'm further ahead of the curve than my experience would lend people to believe.
How Xexus runs games
I love to give my players the opportunity to interact with the world I've put in front of them, I really enjoy putting forth a detailed scene, and making NPCs stand out. I have a lot of fun putting together unique and challenging encounters, specifically combat encounters, with different themes and ultimately a reason for every interaction when it comes to a greater story. But when my players want to take a step back from the excruciating and high stakes adventuring, I really enjoy giving the opportunity to decompress and live in their characters shoes.

When it comes to voices
I don't usually use them. I'm not an actor, and while I can change up my voice, my ability to define and remember said voices for an NPC will never keep up.
Xexus's ideal table
I get along with players who want to explore and expand upon my world, I allow my players to dictate a lot of what goes on in and around the story. Therefore those who are willing to engage with it will thrive.
