About me
My partner jokes that becoming a GM my final pokemon form. I started playing TTRPGs in 2017, but has been a lifelong sci-fi and fantasy nerd and actually wrote her doctoral dissertation on TTRPGS. I am a professional GM I bring over 20+ year of acting and improvisation to my GMing and I love teaching folks new games and creating stories that spark their excitement. I'm a huge fan of indie games and loves to introduce new and seasoned players alike to creative one-shots that help folks build confidence around their own ability to role-play and (hopefully) GM. When I'm not rolling dice, I am improviser and ensemble member of Malarkey Comedy. You can usually find me scouting locations for her ongoing four year campaign of Monster of the Week that’s set in an alternative spooky Chicago.

What Suz PhDM brings to the table
The setting of this game is the best part! I'll work to bring a whole host of characters to life through voices, characterization, and improv so that the mavens can focus on cracking the mystery in an every increasingly eerie world. Also, as a queer DM I'm dedicated to making sure that the games are safe and inclusive for everyone!

How Suz PhDM creates a safe table
I utilize lines and veils and the x card. Especially, because this is a cosmic horror game that also vacillates back and forth between light and darker atmosphere, I want players to be able to play for the creepy and the spooky of the story, but also be able to say, "This is a lot" and know they will be listened to at the table. We'll use chat and / voice for X card or pause buttons.
