Game style

Play By Post

Play By Post refers to a game in which players interact with the story through messages and text posts. These games are typically played asynchronously throughout the week, which gives players time to consider what they want to do next, and engage with the story at their own pace.

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.

⭐ 5 Stars ⭐ I’ve had the absolute pleasure of playing a solo Play-by-Post (PBP) game with Stephanie as my Dungeon Master, and I can’t recommend her enough! Her storytelling is nothing short of spectacular, weaving together intricate plots that feel alive with depth and excitement. The world she’s built is so immersive and richly detailed that I find myself lost in it long after our sessions have ended. Every NPC feels like a fully realized individual, each with their own personality, backstory, and motivations. It’s clear that Stephanie has put a tremendous amount of thought and care into crafting this world and its inhabitants. Her communication is top-notch, always prompt, clear, and incredibly encouraging. She ensures that the game flows smoothly while making me feel like my character’s choices genuinely matter. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned player, Stephanie’s approach to storytelling and her mastery of world-building will keep you engaged and excited to play. She’s truly a phenomenal DM, and I’m so grateful to be on this adventure with her!

I have been a player in Stephanie's game for a bit now, and she has been a great DM. She is incredibly consistent, allowing player choice and really just working with the flow of the game greatly. The way she runs the game is not overwhelming for players. She constantly checks in to ensure pacing is still good for everyone. Overall, I would highly recommend her as a DM.

She’s an engaging Dm who really knows her stuff. Doing a campaign set in an anime and she took the time to watch the show, the manga and the lore. I feel like I’m actually there. The characters feel fleshed out and the battles are amazing. Making you feel powerful and strategic. She’s fair in her rules and has great response time for our play by post game. I recommend her to anyone new to the game or otherwise, you will be left astounded by her level of crafting a story and deep characters.

Fantastic DM, very responsive and sets a fantastic pace which is hard to do in pbp. An amazing world builder and story teller, she masterfully takes players ideas and backstories and weaves them into the narrative seamlessly. Keeps the story fun and engaging even when everyone branches off and does their own thing which I know must be hard in this format as well but you’d never know by the way she handles it. Easily my favorite campaign I’ve played in this way and even when I’ve had to cut back on other campaigns for budget reasons I’ve kept this one going. 10/10 would recommend every single time.

Gameplay details

Players can expect a relaxing atmosphere before the game. There are tense moments within the game though. There will be one break in the middle if players would like. Otherwise players have the choice to step away at anytime, I just ask that a message be sent to myself or the table just so I'm aware that the player is not at their seat.
