About me
Hello there, I'm Dessa, your friendly neighbourhood Trans Woman Game Master! What do I bring to the table? Well over a decade of experience running TTRPGs, having first jumped into this little obsession back with 3rd edition DnD. Since then, while DnD has remained my go-to system (I could never leave Eberron behind), I've branched out into a wide array of games that I feel have only strengthened my skills. Some of my favourites are Blades in the Dark, anything Powered by the Apocalypse, Fabula Ultima, and Pathfinder 2e! I have a real love for anything dark fantasy, gothic horror, and dungeon punk. Dramatic villains are the absolute favorite though. Y’know, flirty queer vampires who are as deadly as they are beautiful. I should also mention that I enjoy injecting a queer flair into most of my games, and that also means making sure that my table is a safe and comfortable places for anyone within the LGBTQ+ community, which I’ve been told I’m doing a great job at! If you’re looking for a relaxed and friendly environment give my table a try. *I do not use AI in ANY of my games. Everything I use has been created by a real person.
