About Vinnie

I am a queer, disabled, and neurodivergent GM who primarily focuses on hosting a table where people can feel safe, respected, and engaged. I use a custom content comfort form to get detailed information at each player's needs. I make content fully customized for my players needs and preferences. One of my specialties is working with players who are going through a hard personal journey, especially in identity and trauma issues. I can provide someone's preferred mix of escapism and friction with a particular topic that they would like the opportunity to engage with on their own terms in a safe space. We do take crying breaks at this table and hold no judgement for inner personal revelations, especially at the table. I am a game designer (acting, board, card, drinking, table, and word games), horror and dystopian fiction writer, cultural anthropologist, entertainment host, comedian, magician, mentor, tutor, activist, and a safe space expert.
