Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
“You should have died.” That was the last thought you remember before the darkness took you. A battlefield. An alleyway. A cursed crypt. Wherever it happened—death found you… and passed you by. You woke up changed. Cold. Hungry. Not quite alive. And then the Mists came. Now you find yourself trapped in a land ruled by an ancient vampire lord. He watches you. He knows what you are. He calls you kin—but not out of love. Out of fear. Or something worse. In this gothic horror campaign, you and your party are dhampir, recently turned and pulled into the cursed realm of Barovia. Strahd sees you as threats, toys, or heirs—but your fate is your own to carve. Resist the darkness within… or embrace it. Welcome to Barovia. You are not the hunters here. You are the prey. All players will begin at level 1 as dhampir, recently turned and struggling to understand their new nature as they’re drawn into the mists of Barovia.

She is a great help for beginners! I had my first session for a campaign with her also my first campaign ever and she help me understand how things work with roll20 and beyond20. so I never held others back that much. I got enjoy it quite a bit. I'm not great with reviews but just know she's a great GM!

DM Momo kicked us off into high gear with clear expectations, good communication, safe guidelines, and the kind of humor that has you cackling from combat to combat. Excellent pacing, great descriptors, and well-conducted exploration are just the base: her creative monsters and regional development put you right into the fantasy realm of her creation. Just one game and I'm hooked!

• Set clear pre-game instructions; easy, straightforward prep • Made an organic effort to involve the two new players (myself included) in a session with 4 out of 6 regulars • Ran the one-shot in a way that made our actions feel like they matter, despite the self-contained story • Encouraged and rewarded clever decision-making

Played a oneshot with Moses as DM and had a lot of fun. Everyone there was nice and bounced off of each other well, and she was really good at paying attention to each character and giving everyone a chance to shine. I would recommend this experience to anyone!

Very attentive and open, constantly rolling with the punches, and generally a pleasure to be around.
