About Amanda

Welcome adventurers! I am a seasoned Dungeon Master with over 21 years of experience playing TTRPGs and 10 years of dedicated DMing under my belt. My primary focus is Dungeons & Dragons 5e and Thirsty Sword Lesbians, where I bring to life immersive, story-driven worlds that rival the most epic tales. Think of it as stepping into your own version of some of the popular TTRPG streaming groups, where the story revolves around you and your party, weaving your backstories and decisions into a dynamic, ever-changing narrative. What to Expect from My Games •Roleplay-Heavy Adventures: My games focus deeply on roleplay and character development. Every session is designed to let each player shine, with moments crafted to highlight their character’s growth and backstory. •Homebrew Worlds Tailored to You: The world is built with your characters in mind. Whether it’s political intrigue, emotional character arcs, or gripping combat scenarios, everything ties back to your choices and development. •Epic and Inspiring Tone: Expect moments that will tug at your heartstrings, make you cheer, or give you chills. Each character will feel like the "chosen one" at some point, and your decisions will ripple through the story’s fabric. •Balanced Combat and Storytelling: While the focus is on storytelling and character interaction, combat is woven naturally into the narrative. It’s meaningful, tactical, and always relevant to the plot. Safe, Inclusive Spaces My tables are exclusively for women, LGBTQIA+ players, and neurodivergent individuals. By creating a cis straight men-free environment, I aim to ensure a safe and welcoming space where everyone feels represented and celebrated. While new players are absolutely welcome, be prepared to dive into rich roleplay and collaborative storytelling. A love for character interaction is a must. Logistics and Tools •Theatre of the Mind: While combat maps (accessible via Owlbear or Roll20) will be used when needed, most of the gameplay emphasizes storytelling and imagination. •Character Sheets: Created and managed on D&D Beyond or Roll20 for ease and accessibility. •Mics and Cameras Required: Seeing your faces and expressions fuels roleplay and enhances our shared storytelling experience. Games will be hosted on zoom and recorded into a private drive accessible only by players. You can go back and watch sessions at any time for note-taking or nostalgia purposes. Games will not be streamed and videos will not be posted elsewhere. Why I DM Growing up, I rarely saw myself represented in the media I loved. DMing allows me to create stories where everyone can feel seen, celebrated, and heroic. My passion lies in building collaborative tales with my players, watching their characters grow, and shaping the world around their decisions. This space encourages written roleplay between sessions, whether it’s interacting with fellow players and NPCs or exploring backstory elements. There are also dedicated areas for sharing art, music, Pinterest boards, character studies, and participating in fun mini-games to bond players and their characters. Ready to Begin? If you’re ready to embark on an epic journey where your character’s choices shape the world, I can’t wait to have you at my table! Let’s create something unforgettable together.
