About me

I have over ten years of experience performing with improv on stage and have been playing and running TTRPGs since middle school. I have a deep and abiding love for improv and collective story making as well as game design, voice acting, and sharing the joy my geeky passions. I welcome players of all experience and love teaching new folks how to play. In my games, you’ll meet multidimensional NPCS with distinct voices and a world that changes in response to your character’s actions. Your backstory will be woven into the narrative as I customize the adventure to suit the characters’ journey. In classic campaigns, you will get the best of a time-tested module while experiencing a story that is uniquely your own. As a GM, I present the characters with difficult challenges while cheering on the players. You will join in a “writers’ room” style of play with collaborative lore building as well as delve into dramatic scenes where we play to find out what happens. I lean on the dice decide our fate so we can all be surprised by where the story takes us.

Safety

How Dungeoneer80 creates a safe table

This is a one-shot worldbuilding adventure. Players can expect a high-level storytelling approach that focuses on creating a history rather than immersive gameplay. Sensitive topics are unlikely to arise in this format, but the X-card is available to ensure a fun and safe environment.
