"Cid is an amazing storyteller and world builder... His ability to balance risk and create a sense of stakes in each scene is phenomenal. Even though he has great control of the worlds he builds, he is always open to suggestions."

Scotty

"Cid has truly mastered the art of storytelling... His world-building is phenomenal. Perhaps most importantly, Cid responds well to player agency, adapting the story to accommodate our choices while maintaining a coherent narrative."

Athanasia

"Cid does a fantastic job of making an immersive and ever growing world... He looks for feedback and is very considerate in adjusting the game to fit our needs and comfort level while still keeping it challenging."

Devin

"Cid's worldbuilding is spectacular... There are consequences for actions and non actions. I don't know many GM's that can make their world/environment feel that organic and alive."

Alvin
Played 73 sessions

"Cid is very approachable and helpful both to new players and people familiar with the game. The Faserip system is great... Cid is responsive to questions asked and the game moves at a good pace."

How Cid Runs Games

Philosophy

High-Lethality / High-Agency. My table is a safe space for players, but a dangerous place for characters. I run high-trust games where inclusivity allows us to explore mature, brutal themes.

I prioritize player agency above all else; the world reacts logically to your choices. I don't fudge dice and I don't pull punches.

Style & Genre

My wheelhouse is Grimdark, Horror, and High-Fantasy. Think Dark Souls meets Berserk. Themes of morality, sacrifice, and legacy.

Expect a serious narrative tone, occasionally broken by terrible dad jokes to relieve the tension.

Logistics

Voice: Show up, plug in, and play -- everything's set up for you on Discord and Roll20 with music and ambience for immersion.

Play-By-Post: Asynchronous MMO-style campaigns with collaborative writing, introspection, and tactical combat. Each year brings a new storyline to conquer!

Play-By-Post FAQ

Q: How does the Play-By-Post Trial Pass work?
A: The Trial Pass is a one-time, 30-day "Guest Pass" for new players to experience the persistent world state and seasonal mechanics without a weekly commitment. After 30 days, continued play requires a standard weekly subscription.
Q: Why is the Custom Group rate higher for PbP?
A: Standard subscriptions place you in the massive, persistent "MMO-style" world. Custom Groups ($30/player/week) and Duets ($60/player/week) receive a dedicated, private shard of the world with bespoke world-building and high-frequency GM response priority.
Q: What happens if I miss a week of my subscription?
A: Because the world is persistent and reacts to player choices, your character remains in-world. Active subscriptions ensure your agency in the current seasonal storyline and participation in World Boss events.
Q: What systems do you run for Play-By-Post?
A: Currently running Fabula Ultima, FASERIP, and D&D 5e for Play-By-Post campaigns. Check the Campaign Dossiers for active campaigns or join our Discord to ask about upcoming games.
