Blerdy Disposition is a wonderful GM. He’s talented, funny, and smart. He knows what he’s doing and he enjoys what he does. Join his games, seriously.

Blerdy set up a wonderful and creative adventure. If you're looking for a safe space, you've found it. He explained the rules fully and the rule of cool is definitely there as well. His enthusiasm is contageous!

Blerdy is a very character-centered GM that encourages creativity and tom-foolery. I had a great time in the funnel and now have some DCC characters I'm excited to run. He is knowledgeable of the rules, especially the rule of cool and a great introduction to the system.

Had a great time playing "The Haunting" one-shot. Very creepy atmosphere and the GM was very helpful and flexible.

Gameplay details

I use a combination of Safety Tools Before, During, and After the Game. Before The Game: Session 0 📝 Code of Conduct at my Table I believe as a Queer Black GM, safety at my table is and will always be a number 1 priority. RPGs should allow us to safely explore topics we want and have fun with it. So that means this table and my groups are anti-racist, anti-queerphobic, and tolerating bigotry is entirely unacceptable. So any kind of behavior like that will result in immediate ejection from my game. Lines, Veils, and Boundaries 🪞 I use a set of primer topics to discuss what we do not want to see in the game. A sample of that is attached below https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TVfQ1_UyP7EyTUi6zK3FFvfFvucZRjaDHHFAoBmvhxM/edit#gid=2083970741 During my Game: Breaks🧱 I always make sure to include a 10+ minute break in my game. Of course breaks can be longer or shorter depending on what is best for the group at the time. After the Game: Stars and Wishes ✨ Post game and especially at the end of the campaign, I ask what people's stars and wishes. Stars are used for things people really liked during the game. Wishes are things participants would like to see in the future.
