Marie is a great GM and takes incredible notes that you can pull from for your sessions. I'm sure all experience levels would enjoy having Marie as a GM.

Marie is super fun and welcoming! She allows for players to be goofy but also keeps us on track. If you're looking for a dm to introduce you to Dnd look no further!

Marie is great! Super beginner friendly. She also ensures we have extra time to play if needed so that everyone has a great game!

I'm having such a great time with Marie's CoS game. The group, the vibe, the game, all A+. Any group with Marie at the helm is bound to have fun.

A few sessions in on playing Curse Of Strahd and it's been a wonderful time so far! Marie makes the sessions tons of fun, and even coming at the campaign fairly new to 5e I haven't felt at all lost or confused. She's always happy to make suggestions if a player isn't sure what they can do, but the choices are very much your own. There's always some music to set the creepy tone, and she brings the horror aspects across, while letting our characters be silly at times, too. Uncovering the mysteries of the Durst Family has been a totally horrifying time for the party, but a great time for all the players. Can't wait for the next session!

Additional details

How to prepare

You will need a mic, a discord account and a roll20 account. Both of these accounts are free.

What I provide

I have all the official maps from the campaign with the tokens and everything. I also put ambiant music and do voices as much as I can. I tend to follow the rules for the most part with a few exeptions that we will discuss.

Gameplay details

Please write to me if there is anything you want to avoid in the roleplay. If a situation is too much, tell me. We can take breaks, we can change the scene or reduce the intencity. My own limits are: no explicit sex scenes (fade to black if something does happen), nothing rape related, no pedophilia of any kind. I will not tolerate if anyone breaks those limits. I will warn and even ban if necessary. Your own limits will be added to the list of rules that we will discuss at the begining of the campaign. I want everyone to be comfortable at my table.
