About Me
Hi, I'm Sov. I have been a professional GM for many years, games and parties. I have 5+ years experience as both a DM/GM and player. I have most of my experience in DnD 5E and Homebrew systems. I am also a system designer and adventure writer.
I enjoy more serious and otherwise dark narratives, but I also enjoy heroism and goofy campaigns. I primarily run custom settings/campaigns. Writing is where my love and inspiration for TTRPGs live. I use role-playing to invest players in their characters and characters in the world. I love filling my worlds with complex NPCs, who become more intriguing the more time you spend with them. Adapting, reacting, and curtailing stories to players on the fly makes me feel like a player at the table, while making the world around the players feel alive. I am a strong believer that consequences have actions. I try to earnestly think of how the world would react, and don't handout results for free, nor do I put in obstacles if my players have executed a well thought out plan. I like to do voices and accents. I tend to lean hard into role-playing, whether as a player or a GM. I am also always open to custom campaign requests and homebrew world settings. Feel free to reach out.
What I offer?
I offer my years of experience as a DM, dedication to my games and players, and a common love for the world of TTRPGs. I bring unique and interesting new narratives told through a compelling theater of the mind experience to all of my campaigns. I play music and curtail my VTT to my players to set the theme/mood of my game. I also own the majority of sourcebooks, allowing for a wide variety of character builds.
How to join?
I host my games through startplaying.games Booking seats and payments will go through that website. Each game posting below will have a link to the listing for that game on SP.G If you'd like to browse my games/profile, here is the link: https://startplaying.games/gm/sov
Campaign Players will be dropped into a new world on their excited little heads. Adventurers, foreign to the land, will be given a soft hook but otherwise free to choose their own direction and path.
Customization through session 0 Session 0 will be a grand discussion on what the party wants the campaign to be; this includes style/theme/mood/topics, the characters it will comprise of, and whatever other prerequisites the party wants before beginning.
This campaign is designed for couples or pairs. Only players joining as a pair/duo will be considered. This is due to the player characters being in a relationship. I have many other games available and do take requests if you do not fit this prerequisite.
Campaign Welcome, adventurer. Within this campaign, you are a part of a criminal power couple. Traversing and and taking advantage of the world around you as a team. Relying on the skill and loyalty of your partner. Damning the rest. This campaign is a true sandbox experience, where the world unfolds dynamically based on your actions. Dive deep into the emotional depths of your character as you navigate the challenges that await you. This campaign delves into mature themes through serious dramatic roleplay, where personal choices carry weight and consequences.
Distracted by the elegancy and dedication you and your partner have for each other during this dance, the crowd is captivated. All eyes are on you, your movements, and your grace. As you delicately maneuver the room in your partners arms, keeping an eye on the mark. Only you notice your partners nimble fingers removing the audiences coin purses as you weave through the crowd. A criminal dance you know well, and there's only one dance partner you would trust to know the steps.
Setting Travel to a new land, where you can take advantage of your anonymity. Explore this land throughout the campaign and discover what it has to offer.
Campaign In this campaign, you will embark on a mission to eliminate The Feral Crown - a powerful criminal guild wielding vast wealth, influence, and exotic beasts throughout the Kingdom. Beginning with only a few clues in the first session, every decision thereafter is yours. You'll explore a rich homebrew world, each location offering distinct cultures and opportunities as you work to dismantle the guild's operations. The Feral Crown operates in secrecy, existing in rumor, as mysterious as the creatures they command. This journey demands cunning over combat - from seedy taverns to noble manors, you must gather intelligence, forge alliances, and unravel their network. With overwhelming odds, you must outthink your adversaries. How will you and your companions root out this threat and restore peace in the kingdom?
Tone and Style This campaign features mature themes and intense role-playing scenarios. Expect tense moments, careful planning, and precise strikes against a criminal empire. This isn't about charging in with swords drawn, it's about investigation and calculated action, where exposure could mean failure or death.
Setting Welcome to Sigrid's Legacy, a land where ancient magic flows through newly awakened ley lines, and diverse cultures live in an uneasy peace. This continent was discovered by dwarves fleeing famine over three millennia ago. Today, in the year 3124, the recently unified Eastern Kingdom faces rising tensions as the first Queen struggles to maintain order. From the gleaming towers of Eldoria to the storm-battered shores of Seawatch, from the artistic haven of Arcadia to the industrial might of Ironhold, each city tells its own story. In this time of arcane renaissance, the discovery of new magical ley lines has attracted scholars and mages from across the realm - but it has also drawn darker elements seeking to exploit this power for their own ends.
Campaign Welcome to the 103rd Doom Platoon, a clandestine unit of outcasts and last resorts in a losing war. In this campaign, you'll join a small military unit, undertaking high-risk missions, deep in hostile territory. Each mission acts as a mini-campaign. Missions will involve guerrilla warfare, espionage, sabotage, and other special operations. Between missions, players interact with a war map, affecting the map/larger conflict. The campaign combines colonial warfare with fantasy. Players start with Firearm proficiency. Starting equipment will be per mission, increasing in quality/quantity over time, with expanded weapons and tools. This campaign features mature themes and intense role-playing scenarios. It's a serious, dramatic exploration of war and its impact on those who fight it. Expect moments of horror, difficult decisions, and the constant threat of discovery or death. This isn't about glorious battles, rather unconventional tactics in effort to turn the tide of war.
Setting Set in the world of Aelindor, you'll fight for the United Territories: an unlikely alliance of humans and orcs, against the overwhelming Elven Empire. As the war rages on, other species get dragged into the fray. The united territories face subjugation and annihilation as the elven empire draws closer to victory.
Campaign Welcome, adventurer. Within this campaign, you are a vital member of an esteemed guild, originating from a bustling realm; a land steeped in tradition and prosperity. Yet, your destiny extends beyond these familiar borders, beckoning you to the uncharted territories of Grondakar. Sent to explore and establish an enclave of your guild. This campaign is a true sandbox experience, where the world unfolds dynamically based on your actions. Dive deep into the emotional depths of your character as you navigate the challenges and horrors that await in Grondakar. This campaign delves into mature themes through serious dramatic roleplay, where personal choices carry weight and consequences. Darkness, horror and mystery seep through the cracks of civilization. This is a tale of complex characters navigating survival, loyalty, and power in a land where trust is as scarce as warmth. Expect intense emotional moments, moral dilemmas, and the constant tension of living as an outlander in a troubled realm.
The biting chill of the tundra wastelands sets in, as you traverse the unforgiving expanse, separated from your companions. As you set foot upon the soil of Grondakar, a sense of unease and uncertainty fills the air, mingling with the thrill of the unknown. Here in Grondakar, you are known as an "Outlander," a title that carries both curiosity and suspicion from the locals. Amidst the shadows that lurk in the corners of this unfamiliar realm, there lies boundless opportunity and adventure.
Setting This is an unknown land, said to be thus far untamed. Though all that is know is rumor. You will explore this land throughout the campaign and discover what it has to offer.
Join Rise above the darkness and forge your own destiny. Only the bold and brave need tread its path. Heed the call and join your fellow Outlanders on this perilous journey.
