About me

Howdy! I'm Blerdy Disposition, a Queer Black Game Master and Youtuber. As a game master, I focus on horror games, old school DnD, and narrative games. Specifically my game sessions focus on heavy roleplay, rule of cool, and player creativity! If you are interested in playing in a game focused on roleplay and player creativity then reach out or sign up for a game. I am also happy to work with players interested in a custom game suited for their schedule When I am not running or playing TTRPGs, I have a Youtube Channel focused on learning more about indie TTRPGs and my tips for players and game masters running games.

Safety

How Blerdy creates a safe table

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 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 are 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.
