About the adventure
In a desert oasis known only to a few, a rare flower is finally in bloom under the full moon of Midsummer. ☀️ Your party's favorite potion-maker Gem has asked you to collect its fallen seeds come sunrise. You thieves, bandits, and good-for-nothings cow-poke have already left town in search. Spiky creatures of the oasis plan to defend their precious glowing wonder. Can you secure the flora for your favorite potion-crafter?

About me
Helloooooo! I’m Grae (they/them) your intuitive, theatrical, and community-driven Dungeon Master 🎭🐉 I bring big storytelling energy, quick-witted improv, and a deep love for inclusive tables. I’ve been running games for over a year now, lovingly cultivating a community of malicious misfits (affectionate 😌). I specialize in crafting emotional and thematic worlds with vivid plots, impactful social encounters, and characters that stick with you long after the session ends. With me, you’ll get: 🏳️🌈 A table that celebrates what makes you you both in and above the table 💡 Custom-built worlds, plots, and character arcs built with love and passion 🎭 Professional improv & fully committed NPCs 😜 Silly, campy, occasionally chaotic energy grounded in gritty, emotional storytelling. 🧲A digital community of story loving nerds that support each other in our real life adventures! Let’s build something awesome together. Join an adventure or commission one made just for you. Sliding-Scale Pricing Available for BIPOC and Queer Folx available upon request. NO AI EVER

Creating your character
Captain Grae will provide pre-made character sheets for you to choose from after you sign up or at the start of the game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Once you've joined the one-shot I will greet you and share a link to my Discord where the game will be played. Session 0 will be done immediately before the start of the game.
What Captain Grae brings to the table
The energy I bring to the table is a gentle, supportive, inclusive guide to building the story you want. Players who crave rich stories in worlds where nothing is predetermined will thrive at my tables. If you love making big decisions, supporting players who do, or practicing your narrative muscles, you're in the right place. If you are looking for a relaxed space where the rules are the guidelines and the DM's job is to drive you where you wanna go, give suggestions when you're lost, and show you the best people and places along the way, then I'm the DM for you!

How Captain Grae creates a safe table
Safety Tools: Session 0- In our session zero I will explain how I use these safety tools, give links to my consent checkin, and we will talk about goals and what feels good for our sessions. We will also build characters and backgrounds for players who want to build a character. Consent Checkin- I will send an email that contains my consent checklist as well as lines and veils documents that can be filled out before session 1. Breaks- Breaks can be asked for whenever and I will find natural pauses in story for them. My guild line is approx. 1-2 10min breaks a session.
