About me
Hey I'm Charlene, but most people call me Char! I'm a professional Actor with over 2 decades of acting experience, including voice acting for Netflix and Electronic Arts productions. I have been playing TTRPGs for over a decade, and have been a professional Game Master for over 8 years. I love creating custom worlds for my players to explore, as well as running tried and true published modules. I create voices for my NPCs, and work with my players so that the game is tailored to everyone's wants and needs when it comes to exploration, combat, puzzles, and roleplaying. It's important to me that every player has a great time every session, and that everyone feels safe at the table. Safety tools are mandatory at my table, because it's only fun to dive deep into the horror when you know everyone is having a good time! You can see videos of my GMing style over at www.youtube.com/tabletoptiddies where I have been GMing our D&D Campaigns for 5 years. Since starting my professional TTRPG career, I've played with Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matthew Mercer, B.Dave Walters, Erika Ishii, Tanya DePass, and more! I hope to see YOU at my next session! I do not use ChatGPT, MidJourney, or other automation (theft) platforms.

How Charlene Bayer creates a safe table
- A lines and veils consent form will be sent out in advance along with the D&D Beyond Campaign Link and Roll20 Link. Please fill it out to the best of your ability before our session, and we can go over it during the session. - There will be a session zero featuring introductions, safety tool explanation, and expectations for the game. - A 15 minute break will happen at the halfway mark of the session. - If at any time during the session you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, you can type X in chat, say X out loud, or make an X on camera and I will stop the scene and address the problem. - At the end of the session we will do "Stars and Wishes" where everyone who would like to can share their favorite parts of the game and what they'd like to have more of in the next session. 📖 House Rules: - Drinking a potion can be done as a bonus action (roll for it) or as an action (max HP). - Nat 1s and Nat 20s are automatic criticals. - Anyone can use a magic scroll! For magic scroll usage it will be an Arcana Check, the Arcana DC will be 10 + spell level. - Pulling out a weapon is a free action. Switching weapons when you already have one out is a bonus action. - Familiars will have the same initiative as you. - If you don't feel comfortable doing a character voice, that is totally ok!
