About me
Hi, I’m Laine! And I absolutely love ttrpgs. They are such a fun collaborative and creative outlet. It all started with a one-off between me and friends and I was hooked. My hope is to provide a fun space for everyone to explore stories and characters outside of the everyday. My favorite systems include Monsterhearts, Monster of the Week, and Thirsty Sword Lesbians! Most Powered by the Apocalypse games are a yes for me!

Creativity
Inclusive
Storytelling
I am updating my previous review. Since the first MonsterHearts game I joined, I have participated in many actual play and pbp games of multiple systems run by Laine. Every one of them has been fantastic. Laine is excellent, and works hard to ensure everyone is having fun and has a place to shine. Do not miss out if you get a chance or see one of their games advertised. You'll have a blast.
Laine is a pure joy to game with! They are extremely invested in their players, weaving intricate storylines that involve everyone, and making time to discuss and touch base on people's feelings and comfort levels at all points in a game. Laine cares deeply about what each player enjoys and what sorts of stories players want to tell and will assist their players in getting the most out of a storyline or tailoring elements to capture the essence of what their players are looking for. They've done an amazing job navigating some high-stress subjects or conflicts and always takes care of their players. On top of being a masterful GM, they're just super friendly and fun, and it's truly a great joy to be in any of Laine's games. Their games are suffused with an abundance of laughter and warm community.
Laine is a fantastic GM and I strongly recommend them to anyone and everyone! Particularly if you love your characters, and love in-depth roleplaying, they are a great match. Laine has always been a big fan of all the PCs in every game I've played with them, and makes sure everyone gets a chance to develop in interesting ways. In addition to their flexibility and creativity, they also have great care for their players' feelings and really go above and beyond to create a safe and welcoming space to explore the stories you want to explore.
