Newbies & Noobs is a great place for anyone wanting to start playing. RPG Mama is knowledgeable, friendly, and fun & a great DM. Really enjoying the campaign & looking forward to our next session.

I reached out to RPG Mama to run a short campaign for me and my friends and she was dependable, creative, and had lots of fun with it. The group I brought had never played together online and RPG Mama made the whole thing seamless and streamlined for us all, all with a kind spirit. The campaign was led by curiosity and playfulness and we all really enjoyed ourselves.

RPG mama does a great job of trying to take her stars and wishes (what you liked and didn't) from the sessions and improve the next ones. I have played a one shot with her and I am in an active campaign as well. I enjoy that she has flexible times and she teaches the rules as you play so it is still fun and instructive. I cannot recommend her High enough!

RPG Mama has got to be one of the best teachers ive had the luck of learning from. Always attentive and guiding. Has no issues with reaching out when you need help with developing your character and drives the group to have a fun session each time.

RPG Mama is amazing. She allows you to really get into your character and make decisions on what you think the character would. I haven't been playing very long but her sessions are inviting.

RPG Mama always makes the sessions fun! I look forward to our campaign every week. She puts a lot of detail into the sessions to make it feel more immersive as well! A+++

There is a game immersion category with recipes, fitness, music and more. We will use D&D beyond and Discord Discord bots: Avrae & Tupper I run D&D 2014 but adopted some house rules. I am fine with 2024 characters as long as it’s discussed in session 0. As a DM 😎 “Rule of cool” more than strict rules Nat rolls I’m pretty tough and creative with. Combat can be as hard or as easy as player is comfortable with. Forge Meaningful Connection: Develop bonds with NPCs and other players that will define your character’s motivations and goals.
