A phenomenal DM! From the beginning, she ensured everyone felt included and part of the story. As someone new to D&D, I had many questions and she was always patient, supportive, and eager to help me learn. Her NPC voices are fantastic, and she makes the stories feel immersive and alive. I highly recommend her whether you’re brand new or a veteran player.

Update 3/21; TL;DR Highly recommended for people who want to play DND without getting interrupted by main character syndrome players at the table and secretly pray for certain players to leave the game, these GMs do a wonderful job at housekeeping. So after a month of playing in multiple campaigns ran by DM I'll state that their house rules are fair and work toward keeping the table running smoothly. If you want a game that is ran smoothly that rewards you for creativity pick this table. If you're the type of player that (a) wants to get into arguments about how your game breaking interpretations of mechanics are only for flavor (b) your personal OOC relationship with another character causes your in game person to do something unrelated to the story at hand and doesn't add anything to RP, or (c) want to give a 5 minute speech on every singe turn of combat "for flavor" AND you can't adapt upon receiving constructive critism, then this table is not for you becuase you will be corrected and feelings may be hurt. Excellent use of a sound board that livens the session. Also has an amazing singing voice when playing as a bard NPC at an inn. Very patient and able to manage multiple players at once so everyone is included. Adding this on 2/16. Very quick witted GM can improvise on the fly. Didn't even flinch when I walked up to an NPC and asked if they were my dad. Immediately rolled that into great dialogue. I'm currently in 3 of her sessions. Highly recommend.

Dungeon Mistress does a great job of describing the setting. I am used to taking a lot of notes when I play, but with this style of play, that has not been necessary as the story, and people, are all laid out in text while you play. Dungeon Mistress has been flexible with my character building, as some details were not exactly as I wanted them when we began and I was allowed to make some character revisions up until the first leveling up.

I'm new to DMs game but I already love playing with her. She really breathes life into her world. Excellent characters lurk in every building. Her voices and accents are on-point. Great DM.
