About me
Looking for a GM who prefers narrative-heavy adventures? Perhaps a queer and/or trans GM who you can personally identify with? Maybe you're a fan of a heavily modded Foundry VTT experience? Guess what! You've found the GM who can provide it all. I prefer running narrative-heavy adventures, whether it be Curse of Strahd, The Wild Beyond the Witchlight, or a homebrewed adventure in one of D&D's many campaign settings. My focus is on telling a story with the players, rather than on orchestrating complex combat scenes. My games are all run the same way; Discord for voice/video, D&D Beyond for Character Sheets, and my personally customized Foundry VTT instance for everything else. We can also settle on Foundry VTT for voice and video, but I find that clutters my GM view a little bit. I make heavy use of voice modifiers to aid in roleplay, and have an extensive library of ambiences, sounds, and background music to help really set the mood. Most of my focus is currently on D&D 5e, but I will eventually be opening up campaigns in other game systems, such as BattleTech's RPG system. Stay tuned to this space for more info!

Creating your character
Character creation can happen during or before session zero. A link to the campaign on D&D Beyond will be shared in advance of the game. Through this, you'll have access to a plethora of shared material to help create the character of your dreams. We're using the 2014 rules, rather than 2024 so please keep that in mind during character creation. When we sit down for session 0, we'll go over (or create) our characters, discuss any soft or hard boundaries in terms of campaign content, and get to know each other. This way we can truly hit the ground running at the start of the campaign. No advanced reading is needed beyond getting familiar with the rules of your chosen class/subclass.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will absolutely need: - a Discord account (free) - a D&D Beyond account with at least open character slot - an up to date version of Chrome (free) - a functioning microphone The following are welcome but optional: - a webcam - a character you've already created (changes may be needed to suit the campaign)
What Emily brings to the table
Not only am I incredibly passionate about D&D and my role as a DM, but I bring the following amazing things to the table: - A customized Foundry VTT instance with a plethora of modifications, maps, ambiences, and more - A Discord server through which I'm always available for questions - Integration with D&D Beyond, so your character sheets will always be up to date outside of game time

How Emily creates a safe table
I'll make sure to cover any soft or hard limits players may have during Session 0. This game features some violence, as D&D often does. Uniquely, this campaign DOES offer options for a pacifist playthrough. A Foundry VTT mod used on the server adds blood splatters during combat.
