About me

My name is Emily and I've been playing tabletops for 15 years and a GM for 12 years. I love building off the unexpected moments players bring and enjoy the Rule of Cool. Having fun and telling engaging stories is my goal.

Character creation

Creating your character

Session zero will be held to create characters - though you are always welcome to bring as many characters as you want to the session or even just a concept. Characters will begin at level 1. I have copies of the player's guide for anyone who needs it.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Sessions will be played on Foundry VTT and through Discord. I will send you a join code to the Discord once you join the game.

What Emily brings to the table

I will provide Foundry, any books and resources you need to play, and the discord server. I am a rule of cool GM who embraces anything that makes the session fun and enjoyable to all.
