About me

Hello! I'm Zurest. I'm Non-Binary and use He/They pronouns. Most of my time has been with D&D and it is the system I'm most familiar and comfortable with but I am always and forever willing to learn and explore new things, that is how we grow after all. :D I've been a TTRPG-er since 2000ish when I was introduced to Dungeons and Dragons on a summer camp trip and immediately fell in love. Since then I've played in the 3.5th, 4th, and 5th editions of D&D, the older Star Wars D20 system, Vampire: The Masquerade, and Mage: The Awakening. I've been running mostly 5th edition D&D games since mid 2016. I've run adventure modules and homebrewed worlds/settings with influences from my favorite books, manga, and movies. I take great care when running any game to make sure that everyone involved has a clear sense of what boundaries people have, what tone the game will take, what topics and issues we've all agreed will or won't be present in a given campaign. I like to use the following safety tools: Session 0(zero), Lines and Veils,and R|Y|G cards. I also strive to be as inclusive and representative as possible in the worlds I create and the games I run. I'm always willing to answer questions and address concerns or issues as they arise. I appreciate your time, and consideration of me and the games I'm offering. I hope to see you at the table!

GM Style

I'm a fan of making sure that everyone feels the spotlight, has their character arc, and overall feels like they have made an impact in the world we are playing in, we're telling a collaborative story after all. I can be flexible with the rules as written, but often only if there is a good explanation as to why it would work or if it seems thematically appropriate. I also hold players accountable to their actions, you made your character, you should know how he/she/they work mechanically. I like using XP leveling, rewarding roleplay and ingenuity as much as I do combat. I'll often do voices or accents for NPC's. I like tactical "crunchy" combat and gameplay as much as i like softer more roleplay focused gameplay and often try to strike a balance between the two as i feel it brings the most life to the world.
