About me
Hi! I'm Maiya, an artist, game designer, and professional Game Master. I started running D&D 5e games for my friends and immediately fell in love with the medium. Since then, I’ve branched out into systems like Cyberpunk RED and Daggerheart, crafted collaborative fantasy worlds, and even been developing my own TTRPG system. To me, tabletop RPGs are a way to express creativity and bring stories to life with others. I often find myself talking with players daily about upcoming sessions and what we’re all excited to explore next. TTRPGs have been deeply meaningful to me, helping to heal my soul and giving me a creative outlet I can share with the world. Growing up in the USA and spending three years in Japan has also greatly influenced my storytelling and artistic vision. In my games, I prioritize collaborative storytelling, crafting worlds and stories together with my players. I love roleplay-heavy sessions with immersive storytelling, but when combat occurs, it’s challenging and high-stakes, making every encounter feel intense and meaningful.

What Maiya brings to the table
All the content I own via D&D Beyond. Immersive ambient music. Including all the crooked moon additions for FREE! I provide a story with characters first, meaning every character's story is intertwined with the main plot.
Homebrew rules
Flexible Initiative: Allows the players to choose each round who will act next. The rounds work as a back-and-forth between the players and the DM. This makes combat significantly faster, gives more player agency, and keeps everyone engaged.

Safety
How Maiya creates a safe table
During Session 0, we will review all the safety tools and agree to a code of conduct. This will outline all rules and topics that we want to be off-topic; no exceptions! I also make strong use of the X, N, & O system, where a player can PM any of these at any time to interrupt the session and allow me to change course. My sessions are always against any hate speech of any kind.
