About me
Hi! I'm Madeleine, and I'm a theatre kid turned TTRPG nerd. I use my skills as an actor, playwright, and dramaturg to lead engaging stories that immerse you in the world of the game. A game led by me is going to put you in the spotlight. Everyone at the table is the main character of their own story, and I will do everything in my power to make you feel like a hero. I want to work with people who cultivate environments of respect and kindness towards each other, and see these games as opportunities to tell the stories that aren't usually told. A game led by me is going to be filled with laughter, drama, memorable NPCs, and mystery. If you're looking for that kind of game, I'm your GM. I operate in PST and would like to lead female-driven and LGBTQ+ focused teams. I also do DM consulting! If you need an outside opinion on your game, assistance building an encounter, feedback on a session, I can give that to you! Rates start at $45/hour, but can be negotiated if needed.
GM Style
With me, you're going to get a lot of roleplay centric stories with rich NPCs to play with. As someone with a theatre background, I do my best to provide characters who are engaging and memorable. Battles mostly pop up when they are important to the story and drive the plot. I would much rather create encounters reliant on negotiation than swinging swords. When battles do occur, I try to make them fun and engaging.

Madeleine is a really amazing GM! I played in a session they ran that was half teaching how to play/half one shot for the Good Society RPG system. She had all the materials set up, she gave really clear explanations of how the system works, and she was so enthusiastic. I had so much fun! Highly recommend, I would love to play with them again!

Madeleine was extremely helpful, explained all the rules and helped the players unleash their creativity and roleplaying skills. The best one-shots are the ones where all players are sad it's over and want a sequel - that's exactly what you can expect here.

I played in a learn the system one shot with Madeline and she explained all the easy stuff and even held a Q&A at the end in case we wanted to ask more questions. I really enjoyed myself and was able to learn a new fun system thanks to them. I would definitely recommend her!

Madeleine is great! I played Alice is Missing and she made the space very safe and comfortable, which is kind of a necessity for the game.

Madeleine runs an amazing, inclusive game. From the moment the session began I felt that she listened to her players, encouraged them to speak and contribute, worked with them through any technical issues, and took on feedback when the session was over to help make the next one even better. I truly and sincerely hope for another game with Madeleine and I'd encourage anyone to join one!

There's honestly not enough good things to say about Madeleine as a GM. She's funny/fun, she is phenomenal at telling a great cohesive story, are off the charts. She is a clever and creative GM who knows the rules really well. Words honestly don't express the fun I had as a player with her. She has a wide range of creativity and passion in what she does. If you're debating whether or not you want to play a game with her the answer should be yes, you'll not regret it.
