About me
I write 5e D&D adventures, and I like to run D&D, homebrew games, and indie games. I'm interested in creating an evocative narrative for my players where what their characters do matters.
GM Style
I like to focus on a collaborative narrative where what the players do builds on what happens next. While I'm okay with IC conflict, I appreciate OOC cooperation. I'm more interested in the experience than the numbers, but I will run the game you've signed up to play. What I bring to the table years of storytelling experience and an ability to think on my feet. To me, the win condition is that everyone has a good time. I'm LGBTQ+. I'm disabled. My pronouns are she/they. While I'm willing to explore topics the group consents to, I don't tolerate racism, homophobia, sexism, or other bigotry among my players. Game content will be discussed in session zero, and players are allowed to opt-out and retcon material they find offensive. I reserve the right to give trolls the boot.

We had an intriguing mystery on board a generation starship, with intrigue and social-class politics, plus a sci-fi hook of imprinted memories. The background was vivid without using stereotypes. Karrin was open to player ideas, and handled things off-the-cuff with ease and flair.

Karrin is an amazing story teller who offers their players rich and exciting worlds to explore. They guide the players through the world but let the players make their own choices and mistakes! Highly recommend for a responsive and engaged GM!

Karrin ran an amazing mystery in an engaging and original sci fi setting with a compelling moral conundrum.

Top notch GM. Have played at in-person tables, and Karrin is superb with horror and suspense tropes. Also very good with non-D&D games, which is a definite skill.

I enjoyed the freedom to develop my character's grey moral system with some inside help that let me avoid making it a pain for the other players to deal with. The GM is very good at setting up a wide, creative world with plenty of room to put your own stamp on it. They are also able to deal with difficulties between players and help everyone come to a positive resolution. A++!

Extremely creative. Great spotlight management. Unflappable: get at incorporating and enhancing player actions. Would absolutely play in any of their games.
