About me
Well met, adventurer! I'm Erika and I hope to be your GM! I've been playing TTRPGs since 2015 and GMing since 2016. I know how to quickly adapt to anyone's style of play to make the game fun and enjoyable for everyone, having run games for hundreds of unique players from all walks of life—from home games to conventions to organized play. I love being able to facilitate exploration of the world and character growth of the PCs at my table. Whether you're a character-driven storyteller or a combat strategist, I will create an environment where you will thrive. My tables are safe spaces. Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated.

Creating your character
Characters will be created at level 1 using Common options. Uncommon and Rare options may be approved on a case-by-case basis. Gunslinger, Inventor, and the Uncommon backgrounds provided in the Player's Guide are all approved (and strongly recommended!). You may begin creating your character as soon as you join, and I am available to help guide you through the process as desired. You will need to make your character in Pathbuilder, either the free or paid version is suitable.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: - A computer, laptop, or mobile device - An internet connection - Discord (Free, app or browser) - A free account on Tableplop - A free account on Pathbuilder
What Erika brings to the table
My play-by-post GMing features: - 2 posts per day, on average (closer to 3 during combat) - Evocative narration to immerse you in the world and the story - Meaningful dialogue and conversations with NPCs - Easy-to-read combat trackers always accompanied by an image of the battle map to help visualize the scene - Art to set scenes and highlight cool moments - Absolutely no AI-generated content We will use the RPGSage Discord bot—a dice roller and proxy handler that allows us to post messages as the characters themselves. Tableplop is a web-based, mobile-friendly virtual tabletop where the maps for encounters will be accessed. My professional background is in education, and I call on those skills frequently to help new players learn the system and tools that I love. I primarily stick to Rules as Written, but I may deviate if presented with a really good reason.

How Erika creates a safe table
Bigotry is strictly prohibited from my games, in or out of character. This includes, but is not limited to, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and intentionally misgendering another. Any instances of bigotry is grounds for immediate dismissal. Each player will have their own private channel on the Discord server that is only accessible by themselves and me in case any private discussions need to be had. I am also available to talk over voice or video chat upon request. Each player will be required to complete a Lines and Veils form before beginning. The results will be shared with group anonymously, and the list of Line and Veil topics can be added to at any time. X, N, and O can be raised by reacting to a message, which is not anonymous, or by privately messaging the letter to me and I will adjudicate the scene as necessary (so I would know the sender but the other players would not).
