Introduction

Welcome ladies, gentlemen, and esteemed guests. I'm Vale, one of the DMs here on Terrasphere! I have been roleplaying for over a decade on forums and have played in and DMed a few tabletop campaigns here and there.

I will likely be a chiller one of the crew to DM people as I prefer exploration, adventure, and character development over straight combat or puzzles. Puzzles are awful. I am forgiving, but be aware that I take consequences in roleplaying rather seriously. You are the butterfly's wings. I am the hurricane.

General Preference

• Style: High Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic
• Genre: Fantasy, Horror, Mythology
• Content: Story, Dungeons, Side Quests
• Interested Themes: Adventure, Exploration, NPC Interaction

• System: Site standard for combat. Freeform for exploration
• Difficulty Range: Varies, typically lower to mid tier difficulties
• Realism: Consequences happen, NPCs react accordingly, not all enemies are stupid animals

Party Preference

• Size: 3 to 6, outside of larger events
• Composition: Balanced preferred, but never required

• Tone: Varies, but typically funner for lower tier, serious for middle
• Creative Approach: I enjoy playing in and running Sandbox-style games. The world is your oyster. Be warned that just as you can adapt to go off the beaten path, so too can adversaries. I adore consequences and praise cleverness.

Interested Plots

• Exploration Finding new locations and regions, delving into forgotten places, unearthing secrets, following rumors, and hunting strange creatures.
• The Wilds I prefer to stray from cities and populated areas. Untamed lands call to me.
• The Planes Like the various biomes of the material plane, the other Astral planes are just as interesting to explore.
• NPC Interation I welcome conversation and other interactions with NPCs for the purpose of quests, world-building, etc.
• Lore Stories from the world of Terrasphere itself, the people in it or who once were apart of it, the gods, rumors, legends, and landmarks.

What players can expect

I'm allergic to puzzles, unlike Asch, and I'm allergic to JRPG, unlike Pandora. My content typically feels like you've walked into your typical open world fantasy game or been dropped into a West Marches campaign. The world is a big place and I enjoy getting lost in all the little places in it.

My content isn't very punishing, but your words and actions do have consequences. Beyond what is typical for a fantasy genre game, I generally keep things realistic in terms of combat and interaction with the world around you. I welcome thinking out of the box as well as in-depth exploration in an area. You'll find rewards awaiting you if you care about my content enough to want to know it.

Character development is something I enjoy playing with and testing. If you are involved in one of my events then chances are I've looked through your character and you may find hooks in my threads meant to catch their attention or test their resolve. If you ever have concerns, questions, or requests my inbox is always open. Keep in mind, however, that I am not beholden to your wishes.

My expectation

Work together as your characters would, but do not make me suffer through pointless drama and conflict. Some Meta-gaming is allowed, but I much prefer that you react to one another realistically. If your characters do not get along, do not party up together.

Ask questions! Give me feedback! Communicate! I want to know what you don't like, what you loved, what you wish had been different, etc. If you are ever confused, conflicted, or content please let me know. If you cannot remain as active as a thread demands then contact me so we can decide how best to proceed.
