I’m a few sessions in with Terra now, and she’s a fantastic DM - the sessions are serious and light hearted at the same time, the atmosphere is great and she tells a great story, which also gives the players a ton of freedom. It’s enough fun that I signed up for a second campaign! Update: It's more than few sessions now and Terra is basically the only DM is still play with. She's amazing!

Terra is an amazing GM that makes gameplay fun and engaging for players of all experience levels. She is fantastic at story telling and world building, weaving characters into the overarching story arcs in addition to exploring their own personal journeys. She doesn't pull punches, which results in high-stake, engaging battles. There are also plenty of opportunities to roleplay, both in and out of game, allowing players to truly come together as a group and care for one another. The discord community as a whole is very welcoming and full of creative, hilarious, and caring individuals. I'm very glad I made the decision to join one of her games, followed by a second, third, and forth... I guess you can say I'm a fan.

Every session is just so fun and interesting! Many opportunities to RP, both with the GM and between players. Amazing story telling with very well orchestrated fights to keep you on your toes.

Terra is a great GM. I haven't played as much as I'd like and she was patient and kind while I figured things out!

Terra is phenomenal. She tells compelling, layered stories. It'll have horror elements one moment, unveil deep interesting elements of intrigue, and shift seamlessly into side-splitting laughter. A big part of this is she not only does fantastic world-building, but she does a fantastic job of painting the picture and the characters drawing you in. Also, she works with players to develop deeply interesting characters with plot hooks that are rewarding for them and all the other players. I find myself counting down the days to the next session because I'm dying to see what happens next. When a spot opened up I rushed to get my friend into the game not because I wanted to play with them, but rather because this was something special that I wanted to share.
