About me

Avast, ye intrepid adventurer! Ye hast...*Ahem*. Perhaps I should be serious. Hello, there! I'm Enigmaze, but you can call me Enigma. I have been DMing for over 9 years (as of 08/2024). Throughout those years, I've ran a variety of systems ranging from D&D 5E to Exalted: Essence and even V:tM 5E. My interests are vast and varied. Odds are, I either already have a game for you OR I likely have one in the works! As far as my GMing style goes, I vary both my style and tone significantly depending on the system I'm running and the themes of the campaign I'm running. Be that as it may, there are a few features that always stay the same across all my games: 1) I love intricate narratives set in deeply immersive and living worlds; 2) I love complex and challenging boss fights (or set pieces), in general. Whether it is a game of political intrigue or cosmic horror, I always strive to not only incorporate my players' ideas for their characters' backstories and futures into my world and meta-narrative, but also to carefully cultivate and craft a rich world in which players could easily "get lost in," so to speak. In fact, after just a couple of sessions with me, I've had one past player describe playing in my games like, "playing through an epic novel" with how well-crafted the world and NPCs were. (And, for the record, that player meant "playing through an epic novel" in the positive sense, not the negative sense.) So, if you enjoy narrative-focused games with a balanced blend of challenging combat and rapt roleplaying, then I might be the DM for you!

I discovered Domi from a LFG post in the World of Darkness Discord server. They had posted a homebrewed Werewolf: The Apocalypse V5 game there for a post-apocalyptic setting. I've been playing in this game of Domi's for about 6 months as of the time of posting this review. In that time, their Werewolf game has felt very player driven and responsive to players thus far. For example, Domi has also allowed time for characters to pursue personal projects and ambitions during this Chronicle, which, in my opinion, makes it especially easy to get invested in Domi's settings and worlds. What's even more impressive is that Domi's W5 campaign had already been underway for some time prior to me joining it, and, yet, my character immediately felt relevant and important to the main narrative. I had no issues jumping right into the story and the play group and, most importantly, NOT feeling like "that new guy on the block." To put the initial experience of joining the first few games into perspective, the story was immediately personal enough to my character that I asked Domi if I could make Harano and Hauglosk rolls at the arc's conclusion. Haha. Moreover, Domi's W5 game was my first exposure to Werewolf. They did a fantastic job presenting the Werewolf setting and its themes and mysteries in an approachable and engaging way. So much so that I now feel comfortable potentially running my own W5 games in the future without fear of doing the game too much injustice due to my general lack of experience with the storied Werewolf line of games. If you're looking for a player-driven game, good vibes, and a generally fun time, you should join one of Domi's games today!
