About Eryn

Hi, I’m Eryn—a professional Game Master with 15+ years of experience crafting immersive, character-driven RPGs. I run story-rich campaigns where your choices matter, your character grows, and the table feels like a space you actually want to come back to each week. My games are beginner-friendly, emotionally engaging, and built to last—no chaos, no ghosting, just a reliable group telling a great story together. I specialize in creating welcoming, queer- and femme-friendly tables where allies are absolutely welcome. You can expect a balance of strong narrative, clear mechanics, and supportive guidance—whether you’re brand new or a seasoned player looking for something more meaningful than a typical drop-in game. If you’re looking for a consistent campaign, a respectful table, and a GM who’s invested in your experience, you’re in the right place.

My 3 systems I'd bring to a desert island would be

Ryuutama—for maps and memories we'll make along the way. Girl by Moonlight—because magical girls are an obsession. Monster of the Week—simple, fun, and only needs d6s… We can eat the rest of the dice if supplies are low!

The three words my players would use to describe me are...

Kind, Imaginative and Wicked

When I'm not running games I'm...

Creating art—painting landscapes, crafting comics, and writing stories that explore new worlds and characters. Creativity is my constant, both at and away from the table.

I deal with rules issues by...

I welcome input on rules, but as GM I make the final call to keep the game flowing. If something’s unclear, we’ll check it together—sometimes we pause to learn, other times we adjust on the fly so everyone stays immersed and having fun.

I prep by

Making playlists to set the mood (sometimes I share them!) and keeping key notes handy. The rest? Flexible enough for the story to run wild—because the best adventures are the ones we don’t fully see coming!

When it comes to voices

I may not have a full cast of voices, but I bring characters to life with expressive inflection—and yes, I’ve got a wickedly good witchy cackle up my sleeve!

Eryn's ideal table

My table is roleplay-forward, kind, and collaborative. We tell the best stories when everyone invests in each other’s arcs. I value dedication—arrive on time, ready to play, and free of distractions for a great shared adventure!

I love it when a player

Lean into the chaos—flaws, twists, and all! Watching characters stumble, grow, and spark off each other makes the story unforgettable.

I think metagaming...

Isn’t all bad—it can be a tool for inclusion, pacing, or lifting others up. When it serves the story and the table, not just the player, it turns meta into meaningful play.

My table is not the place for...

Power trips or outside distractions. Pop culture jokes and immersion-breaking antics are best left outside—inside, we’re all about story, character, and a little chaos that actually belongs in the game.
