Grab some friends or meet some new ones with your Level 8 Character. The game is set for 3 hours, though timing will be between 3-4 hours total to allow for any hiccups or extra roleplaying.

About me
I am a geeky drama therapist (in training!) who is putting her acting degree and love of D&D to work. I've been playing off and on for 20 years, started DM-ing about 4 years ago, and found a passion! My focus is on your characters and their stories, how they're feeling, who they know, how they connect with the world. If you like going into deep lore stuff, I'm your gal. I've been running games professionally for a good two years at this point, though 70% was teaching/playing with people attending a young adult residential. The other 30% is online with some awesome people. Rules as written help make the game a bit more difficult and fun- and if the rules get a bit sticky and slow us down too much, I'll make a call that fits with the story. Come play with me! (I speak these geek dialects - TMNT, star wars, star trek, firefly, LOTR, Critical Role, BG3, Dr. Who, Disney, and a few others to a lesser degree. )

What to expect

What Madame Moiselle (Mads) brings to the table
I love to do voices, and love when you do them too! I stick to rules as written, but lean towards Rule of Cool more when the rules get sticky. Ambient music is an option, I also know that in certain groups it is distracting, or difficult to hear past- I try to leave that up to the group that is playing.

Safety
How Madame Moiselle (Mads) creates a safe table
Before joining a game, everyone will complete a consents list to ensure that everyone has a chance to voice their hard limits. Throughout the game, if something is starting to feel icky or uncomfortable, yellow and red will be the color communicators that trigger a check in or a full stop. Every game will end with a stars and wishes moment, and a debrief if anything needs to be addressed.
