Who am I?
John Pauliuk- Dungeon Master - Discord: pauliukjohn
Specializes in dark fantasy and horror, with flexibility across all other genres and campaign styles.

Systems: Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, and Delta Green. I am open to learning other systems.

I prefer to run campaigns with session lengths of 3-4 hours. Game lengths outside of this are open to discussion.

I’m an experienced Dungeon Master (of 15 years, with 8 years as a professional) specializing in dark fantasy and horror, where your choices shape the world of every adventure.

My goal is to create immersive experiences where the world feels alive, characters' lives and sanity are at risk, and player decisions leave a lasting mark.

What can you expect?
Characters Matter: Complex interactions with NPCs, difficult moral choices, and character-driven stories based on backstories. Your character should matter in the world you play in.

Challenging encounters: Combat where thinking is important, deadly and dangerous foes, and fleeing is sometimes the best option.

A living world: Just because you stop to have a vacation doesn't mean the villains stop. Especially in homebrew games, the goals of your adversaries progress even if you don't. Your choices also affect things that will happen later in the campaign. Your choices matter.

A welcoming table: I aim for clear communication, respectful collaboration around the table, and support players who want to develop their characters and explore the story. I offer preparation, consistency, and collaborative storytelling. Horror should create suspense and memorable moments, while the table itself remains respectful, inclusive, and enjoyable for everyone.

Your characters should feel traumatized, not the players. Your mental safety matters to me, and I'm always free to talk if something makes you uncomfortable.

The price of admission is gold and your soul; the soul is optional.
