Hey everyone, my name is Asch and I am the main DM / site admin here. If you are a member of TS, chances are you will participate in one of my story or event at least once if not more. I have over nine years of on and off roleplaying, but only a couple of years of DM'ing.

What players can expect
I am very adaptable and can work with players' interaction at the drop of a hat. Because of this gift, I do my best to explore stories or plots that players are interested in while weaving them into the main plot. Given the freedom you have over my world, feel free to lead the story, I will tell you what happens.
Because I enjoy MMORPG and games that have a lot of emphasis on combat, I will often use dice to facilitate combat in my threads. Some players do not enjoy dice and I can empathize with their distaste for RNG, but I can't do freeform battle well, so don't expect me to cater to that. My battles are also very logical and realistic, so don't expect to powerplay.
Another thing that players can expect is meta humor in my content, I will sometimes break the 4th wall for a laugh, though I try my best not to abuse this.
Finally, I enjoy creating clever logic puzzles, if you enjoy solving puzzles, I will be more than happy to include them in the story. However, if you don't care for them, let me know!
My expectation
I expect players to be respectful of me and their party members, as well as being communicative. If players are confused about details or perhaps want some opinion on their interaction, they should asking for clarifications or discuss their ideas with me! I am very open about discussing these things.
Since I highly prefer for the group to cooperate and stay together, in-character and out of character compatibility is a must! I also expect my players to try and keep up with the pace of posting so the thread doesn't grind to a halt.
Lastly, careful reading is very important, please do your best to read mine and others' posts!
My Inspiration
Video games, tabletop, Dungeons & Dragons, Game of Thrones, anime
